    fix the max path calculation in radix-tree.c · 26fb1589
    Jeff Moyer 提交于
    A while back, Nick Piggin introduced a patch to reduce the node memory
    usage for small files (commit cfd9b7df):
    
    -#define RADIX_TREE_MAP_SHIFT	6
    +#define RADIX_TREE_MAP_SHIFT	(CONFIG_BASE_SMALL ? 4 : 6)
    
    Unfortunately, he didn't take into account the fact that the
    calculation of the maximum path was based on an assumption of having
    to round up:
    
    #define RADIX_TREE_MAX_PATH (RADIX_TREE_INDEX_BITS/RADIX_TREE_MAP_SHIFT + 2)
    
    So, if CONFIG_BASE_SMALL is set, you will end up with a
    RADIX_TREE_MAX_PATH that is one greater than necessary.  The practical
    upshot of this is just a bit of wasted memory (one long in the
    height_to_maxindex array, an extra pre-allocated radix tree node per
    cpu, and extra stack usage in a couple of functions), but it seems
    worth getting right.
    
    It's also worth noting that I never build with CONFIG_BASE_SMALL.
    What I did to test this was duplicate the code in a small user-space
    program and check the results of the calculations for max path and the
    contents of the height_to_maxindex array.
