Subject: [PATCH] docs: maple_tree: Replace removed bulk insertion API
Date: Sat,  5 Sep 2026 03:55:09 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260905015509.76265-1-kmehltretter@gmail.com> (raw)

Commit e3852a1213ff ("maple_tree: Drop bulk insert support") removed
mas_expected_entries() but left the documentation describing it.
Document the current preallocation interface instead.

Fixes: e3852a1213ff ("maple_tree: Drop bulk insert support")

 Allocations are usually handled internally to the tree, however if allocations
-need to occur before a write occurs then calling mas_expected_entries() will
-allocate the worst-case number of needed nodes to insert the provided number of
-ranges.  This also causes the tree to enter mass insertion mode.  Once
-insertions are complete calling mas_destroy() on the maple state will free the
-unused allocations.

+mas_destroy() on the maple state will free the unused allocations.
