[PATCH 0/5] Additional radix tree patches for 4.10

Hi Andrew,

One bug has popped up in testing which is reasonably hard to hit (fixed
by patch 2 in this series).  I needed to change the test suite to be
able to catch the bug in action.  The test suite was returning freed
memory to glibc's malloc, but we have to keep a cache of objects in
order to notice that we freed something non-zero and then neglected to
initialise it back to zero upon reallocation.

Please drop the existing "reimplement IDR and IDA using the radix tree"
patch from your queue and replace it with these five patches.  I'd like
to see the first four patches head to Linus along with the rest of the
radix tree patches, and we can continue with the plan of holding patch 5
until 4.11.

I took your suggestion of moving as much as possible of the IDA and
IDR functionality back to idr.c.  That prompted creation of some nicer
APIs, such as radix_tree_iter_delete() and radix_tree_iter_lookup().

There are also some good bugs fixed in this revision, such as:
 - returning the correct error value from ida_get_new_above() if we run
   out of memory,
 - handling attempts to allocate from a full IDA correctly.
 - Correctly handle deleting the only entry at root with
   radix_tree_iter_delete()
I wrote test cases for all these situations, so they shouldn't
regress again.

Matthew Wilcox (5):
  radix tree test suite: Cache recently freed objects
  radix-tree: Ensure counts are initialised
  radix tree test suite: Add new tag check
  radix tree test suite: Delete unused rcupdate.c
  Reimplement IDR and IDA using the radix tree
