Andrew, this small patch makes the radixtree tester program from
        http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/rtth.tar.gz
run OK, with the latest radix tree code in linux-2.6.17-rc5-mm2.

It regulates the return value to 0/1 for functions
radix_tree_tag_get() and radix_tree_tagged().

Well yes.  But it slows down the kernel.  It would be better to fix rtth.

test_bit() is (sadly) defined to return 0 or 1.  Did this really make a difference?

OK. I'll send an updated patch to directly fix the for-rtth radix_tree_tag_get().

Interesting. I got the following gdb outputs. Note that tag_get()
returns -1 and root_tag_get() returns 1048576.

(gdb) n
399             while (height > 0) {
(gdb) n
402                     offset = (index >> shift) & RADIX_TREE_MAP_MASK;
(gdb)
403                     if (!tag_get(slot, tag, offset))
(gdb)
404                             tag_set(slot, tag, offset);
(gdb) p tag_get(slot, tag, offset)
$14 = 0
(gdb) n
405                     slot = slot->slots[offset];
(gdb) p tag_get(slot, tag, offset)
$15 = -1
(gdb) n
406                     BUG_ON(slot == NULL);
(gdb) n
407                     shift -= RADIX_TREE_MAP_SHIFT;
(gdb) n
408                     height--;
(gdb) n
399             while (height > 0) {
(gdb) n
412             if (slot && !root_tag_get(root, tag))
(gdb) p root_tag_get(root, tag)
$16 = 0
(gdb) n
413                     root_tag_set(root, tag);
(gdb) n
415             return slot;
(gdb) p root_tag_get(root, tag)
$17 = 1048576

In radix_tree_tag_get(), return normalized value of 0/1, as indicated
by its comment.

You trust gdb more than I do ;)  It's doing a pretty tricky thing there.

test_bit() returns (1 & (expr)) - it _has_ to return 0 or 1.

On i386, test_bit(nr, addr) will return 0 or 1 only when nr is
a constant -- it uses (expr != 0).

If nr is a variable it will return either 0 or -1 because it uses:

        __asm__ __volatile__(
                "btl %2,%1\n\tsbbl %0,%0"
                :"=r" (oldbit)
                :"m" (*addr),"Ir" (nr));
        return oldbit;

btl %2,%1 sets the carry flag if the selected bit is set.

sbbl %0,%0 subtracts a register from itself and then subtracts one
from the result if the carry flag is set.
