Subject: maple_tree: add mas_is_active() to detect in-tree walks
Date: Thu, 21 Sep 2023 14:12:35 -0400

Patch series "maple_tree: Fix mas_prev() state regression".

Pedro Falcato contacted me on IRC with an mprotect regression which was
bisected back to the iterator changes for maple tree.  Root cause analysis
showed the mas_prev() running off the end of the VMA space (previous from
0) followed by mas_find(), would skip the first value.

This patchset introduces maple state underflow/overflow so the sequence of
calls on the maple state will return what the user expects.


This patch (of 2):

Instead of constantly checking each possibility of the maple state,
create a fast path that will skip over checking unlikely states.
