Subject: [PATCH] lib/maple_tree: fix incorrect dead range comparison in mas_topiary_replace()
Date: Tue, 17 Mar 2026 22:29:25 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260317222925.87929-1-objecting@objecting.org> (raw)

When collecting old nodes for destruction, the dead range check uses
tmp_next->index and tmp_next->last, which implicitly dereferences
tmp_next[0] rather than the intended dead range. This means children
at indices n=1 or n=2 are compared against the first child's state
instead of the replacement range [mas->index, mas->last].

This currently produces correct results by coincidence -- mas_find_child()
copies the parent state and mas_descend() preserves index/last, so the
values always equal mas->index/last. Fix it to use the canonical source
directly, as documented: "Nodes within [index, last] are dead subtrees".

Fixes: 54a611b60590 ("Maple Tree: add new data structure")
