[PATCH v2 4/4] libibverbs: Undo changes in memory range tree when madvise() fails

[Alex Vainman <alexonlists-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org>]

ibv_madvise_range() doesn't cleanup if madvise() fails.
This patch comes to roll back the changes, made in memory tree,
which preceded the madvise() failure:

When madvise() fails on a memory range portion out of the whole range which
user requested to modify and ibv_madvise_range() successfully modified a few
tree nodes up to the problematical portion sub-ranges (this can happen if
there is an overlap between user's range and range's which where previously
added to the memory tree) then it is not enough to undo the split and merge
operation performed on the current node, which caused the failure, but the
functions needed to undo all the changes made on all the previous ranges from
start pointer to current location.
The patch revertes all the changes by re-running it self from start pointer to
current location with toggled inc value.
