5 * Salman Qazi describes the following radix-tree bug:
7 * In the following case, we get can get a deadlock:
9 * 0. The radix tree contains two items, one has the index 0.
10 * 1. The reader (in this case find_get_pages) takes the rcu_read_lock.
11 * 2. The reader acquires slot(s) for item(s) including the index 0 item.
12 * 3. The non-zero index item is deleted, and as a consequence the other item
13 * is moved to the root of the tree. The place where it used to be is queued
14 * for deletion after the readers finish.
15 * 3b. The zero item is deleted, removing it from the direct slot, it remains in
16 * the rcu-delayed indirect node.
17 * 4. The reader looks at the index 0 slot, and finds that the page has 0 ref
19 * 5. The reader looks at it again, hoping that the item will either be freed
20 * or the ref count will increase. This never happens, as the slot it is
21 * looking at will never be updated. Also, this slot can never be reclaimed
22 * because the reader is holding rcu_read_lock and is in an infinite loop.
24 * The fix is to re-use the same "indirect" pointer case that requires a slot
25 * lookup retry into a general "retry the lookup" bit.
28 * This test should run to completion in a few seconds. The above bug would
29 * cause it to hang indefinitely.
