Subject: [PATCH 2/3] lib/maple_tree: fix always-true condition in mas_erase()
Date: Thu, 12 Mar 2026 18:40:54 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260312184054.23481-2-objecting@objecting.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260312184054.23481-1-objecting@objecting.org>
The condition (!mas_is_active(mas) || !mas_is_start(mas)) is always
true because ma_active and ma_start are distinct enum values -- a
state can never be both simultaneously. This causes mas_erase() to
unconditionally reset the status to ma_start, discarding a valid
active walk position.
Change || to && so the reset only fires when the state is neither
active nor start, matching the equivalent guard in mas_walk().
