Subject: [PATCH v2] xarray: Add a BUG_ON() to ensure caller is not sibling
Date: Wed, 4 Jun 2025 09:45:33 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250604041533.91198-1-dev.jain@arm.com> (raw)
Suppose xas is pointing somewhere near the end of the multi-entry batch.
Then it may happen that the computed slot already falls beyond the batch,
thus breaking the loop due to !xa_is_sibling(), and computing the wrong
order. For example, suppose we have a shift-6 node having an order-9
entry => 8 - 1 = 7 siblings, so assume the slots are at offset 0 till 7 in
this node. If xas->xa_offset is 6, then the code will compute order as
1 + xas->xa_node->shift = 7. Therefore, the order computation must start
from the beginning of the multi-slot entries, that is, the non-sibling
entry. Thus ensure that the caller is aware of this by triggering a BUG
when the entry is a sibling entry. Note that this BUG_ON() is only
active while running selftests, so there is no overhead in a running
kernel.
