Per my understanding, on destroy we should set each node dead. But current code miss this when the maple tree has only the root node. The reason is mt_destroy_walk() leverage mte_destroy_descend() to set node dead, but this is skipped since the only root node is a leaf. Patch 1 fixes this. When adding a test case, I found we always get the new value even we leave the old root node not dead. It turns out we always re-walk the tree in mas_walk(). It looks like a typo on the status check of mas_walk(). Patch 2 fixes this. Patch 3 add a test case to assert retrieving new value when overwriting the whole range to a tree with only root node Wei Yang (3): maple_tree: may miss to set node dead on destroy maple_tree: restart walk on correct status maple_tree: assert retrieving new value on a tree with only root node lib/maple_tree.c | 4 +++- tools/testing/radix-tree/maple.c | 24 ++++++++++++++++++++++++ 2 files changed, 27 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) -- 2.34.1
