Well, what you are doing is walking the tree to see if there's anything
there... then re-walking the tree to store it. So, yes, it's much more
efficient.. However, writing is heavier. How much of the time is spent
walking vs writing depends on the size of the tree, but it's rather easy
to do this in a single walk of the tree so why wouldn't you?

>
> Also, would this also work while already walking the tree?

Yes, to an extent. If you are at the correct location in the tree, you
can write to that location. If you are not in the correct location and
try to write to the tree then things will go poorly.. In this scenario,
we are very much walking the tree and writing to it in two steps.

I saw that. Your remove function uses the erase operation which is
implemented as a walk to that location and a store of a null over the
range that is returned. You do not need a function to insert an entry
if the maple state is at the correct location, and that doesn't just
mean setting mas.index/mas.last to the correct value. There is a node &
offset saved in the maple state that needs to be in the correct
location. If you store to that node then the node may be replaced, so
other iterators that you have may become stale, but the one you used
execute the store operation will now point to the new node with the new
entry.

What you have here won't work. The driver will cause your iterators
maple state to point to memory that is freed. You will either need to
pass through your iterator so that the modifications can occur with that
maple state so it remains valid, or you will need to invalidate the
iterator on every modification by the driver.

I'm sure the first idea you have will be to invalidate the iterator, but
that is probably not the way to proceed. Even ignoring the unclear
locking of two maple states trying to modify the tree, this is rather
inefficient - each invalidation means a re-walk of the tree. You may as
well not use an iterator in this case.

Depending on how/when the lookups occur, you could still iterate over
the tree and let the driver modify the ending of "a", but leave the tree
alone and just store b over whatever - but the failure scenarios may
cause you grief.

If you pass the iterator through, then you can just use it to do your
writes and keep iterating as if nothing changed.

I assume the unmapped area is no longer needed, and the 're-map' is
really a removal of information? Otherwise I'd suggest searching for a
gap which fits your request. What you have here is a lot like
"MAP_FIXED" vs top-down/bottom-up search in the VMA code, this seems to
be like your __drm_gpuva_sm_map() and the drm mm range allocator with
DRM_MM_INSERT_LOW, and DRM_MM_INSERT_HIGH.

Why can these split/unmappings fail? Is it because they are still
needed?

When I ask for the previous one in a list or tree, I think the one
before.. but since you are limiting your search from start to start - 1,
you may as well walk to start - 1 and see if one exists.

Is that what you meant to do here?

mas_walk() walks to the value you specify and returns the entry at that
address, not necessarily the start address, but any address in the
range.

If you have a tree and store A = [0x1000 - 0x2000] and set your maple
state to walk to 0x1500, mas_walk() will return A, and the maple state
will have mas.index = 0x1000 and mas.last = 0x2000.

You have set the maple state to start at "start" and called
mas_prev(&mas, start - 1). start - 1 is the lower limit, so the
internal implementation will walk to start then go to the previous entry
until start - 1.. it will stop at start - 1 and return NULL if there
isn't one there.

MA_STATE(mas, &mgr->region_mt, addr, addr);

reg = mas_walk(&mas);
if (!reg)
return reg;

if ((mas.index != addr) | (mas.last != range - 1))
return NULL;

return reg;

mas_find() will keep searching, so you may get a VMA that starts higher
than addr.
