    mm: workingset: move shadow entry tracking to radix tree exceptional tracking · 14b46879
    Johannes Weiner 提交于
    Currently, we track the shadow entries in the page cache in the upper
    bits of the radix_tree_node->count, behind the back of the radix tree
    implementation.  Because the radix tree code has no awareness of them,
    we rely on random subtleties throughout the implementation (such as the
    node->count != 1 check in the shrinking code, which is meant to exclude
    multi-entry nodes but also happens to skip nodes with only one shadow
    entry, as that's accounted in the upper bits).  This is error prone and
    has, in fact, caused the bug fixed in d3798ae8 ("mm: filemap: don't
    plant shadow entries without radix tree node").
    
    To remove these subtleties, this patch moves shadow entry tracking from
    the upper bits of node->count to the existing counter for exceptional
    entries.  node->count goes back to being a simple counter of valid
    entries in the tree node and can be shrunk to a single byte.
    
    This vastly simplifies the page cache code.  All accounting happens
    natively inside the radix tree implementation, and maintaining the LRU
    linkage of shadow nodes is consolidated into a single function in the
    workingset code that is called for leaf nodes affected by a change in
    the page cache tree.
    
    This also removes the last user of the __radix_delete_node() return
    value.  Eliminate it.
