<title>lib/rbtree: avoid generating code twice for the cached versions</title>

As was already noted in rbtree.h, the logic to cache rb_first (or
rb_last) can easily be implemented externally to the core rbtree api.

Change the implementation to do just that.  Previously the update of
rb_leftmost was wired deeper into the implmentation, but there were some
disadvantages to that - mostly, lib/rbtree.c had separate instantiations
for rb_insert_color() vs rb_insert_color_cached(), as well as rb_erase()
vs rb_erase_cached(), which were doing exactly the same thing save for
the rb_leftmost update at the start of either function.

<content type='text'>
Add a variant of rbtree_replace_node() that maintains the leftmost cache
of struct rbtree_root_cached when replacing nodes within the rbtree.

As drm_mm is the only rb_replace_node() being used on an interval tree,
the mistake looks fairly self-contained.  Furthermore the only user of
drm_mm_replace_node() is its testsuite...

<id>urn:sha1:cd9e61ed1eebbcd5dfad59475d41ec58d9b64b6a</id>
<content type='text'>
Patch series "rbtree: Cache leftmost node internally", v4.

A series to extending rbtrees to internally cache the leftmost node such
that we can have fast overlap check optimization for all interval tree
users[1].  The benefits of this series are that:

(i)   Unify users that do internal leftmost node caching.
(ii)  Optimize all interval tree users.
(iii) Convert at least two new users (epoll and procfs) to the new interface.

This patch (of 16):

Red-black tree semantics imply that nodes with smaller or greater (or
equal for duplicates) keys always be to the left and right,
respectively.  For the kernel this is extremely evident when considering
our rb_first() semantics.  Enabling lookups for the smallest node in the
tree in O(1) can save a good chunk of cycles in not having to walk down
the tree each time.  To this end there are a few core users that
explicitly do this, such as the scheduler and rtmutexes.  There is also
the desire for interval trees to have this optimization allowing faster
overlap checking.

This patch introduces a new 'struct rb_root_cached' which is just the
root with a cached pointer to the leftmost node.  The reason why the
regular rb_root was not extended instead of adding a new structure was
that this allows the user to have the choice between memory footprint
and actual tree performance.  The new wrappers on top of the regular
rb_root calls are:

 - rb_first_cached(cached_root) -- which is a fast replacement
     for rb_first.

 - rb_insert_color_cached(node, cached_root, new)

 - rb_erase_cached(node, cached_root)

In addition, augmented cached interfaces are also added for basic
insertion and deletion operations; which becomes important for the
interval tree changes.

With the exception of the inserts, which adds a bool for updating the
new leftmost, the interfaces are kept the same.  To this end, porting rb
users to the cached version becomes really trivial, and keeping current
rbtree semantics for users that don't care about the optimization
requires zero overhead.

<title>rbtree: use READ_ONCE in RB_EMPTY_ROOT</title>

With commit d72da4a4d97 ("rbtree: Make lockless searches non-fatal") our
rbtrees provide weak guarantees that allows us to do lockless (and very
speculative) reads of the tree.  Such readers cannot see partial stores
on nodes, ie left/right as well as root.  As such, similar to the
WRITE_ONCE semantics when doing rotations, use READ_ONCE when checking
the root node in RB_EMPTY_ROOT.

<title>rbtree: clarify documentation of rbtree_postorder_for_each_entry_safe()</title>

<id>urn:sha1:8de1ee7ebfb4979c6444e81273e12e7a972c367d</id>
<content type='text'>
I noticed that commit a20135ffbc44 ("writeback: don't drain
bdi_writeback_congested on bdi destruction") added a usage of
rbtree_postorder_for_each_entry_safe() in mm/backing-dev.c which appears
to try to rb_erase() elements from an rbtree while iterating over it using
rbtree_postorder_for_each_entry_safe().

Doing this will cause random nodes to be missed by the iteration because
rb_erase() may rebalance the tree, changing the ordering that we're trying
to iterate over.

The previous documentation for rbtree_postorder_for_each_entry_safe()
wasn't clear that this wasn't allowed, it was taken from the docs for
list_for_each_entry_safe(), where erasing isn't a problem due to
list_del() not reordering.

Explicitly warn developers about this potential pit-fall.

Note that I haven't fixed the actual issue that (it appears) the commit
referenced above introduced (not familiar enough with that code).

In general (and in this case), the patterns to follow are:
 - switch to rb_first() + rb_erase(), don't use
   rbtree_postorder_for_each_entry_safe().
 - keep the postorder iteration and don't rb_erase() at all. Instead
   just clear the fields of rb_node &amp; cgwb_congested_tree as required by
   other users of those structures.

Change the insert and erase code such that lockless searches are
non-fatal.

In and of itself an rbtree cannot be correctly searched while
in-modification, we can however provide weaker guarantees that will
allow the rbtree to be used in conjunction with other techniques, such
as latches; see 9b0fd802e8c0 ("seqcount: Add raw_write_seqcount_latch()").

For this to work we need the following guarantees from the rbtree
code:

 1) a lockless reader must not see partial stores, this would allow it
    to observe nodes that are invalid memory.

 2) there must not be (temporary) loops in the tree structure in the
    modifier's program order, this would cause a lookup which
    interrupts the modifier to get stuck indefinitely.

For 1) we must use WRITE_ONCE() for all updates to the tree structure;
in particular this patch only does rb_{left,right} as those are the
only element required for simple searches.

It generates slightly worse code, probably because volatile. But in
pointer chasing heavy code a few instructions more should not matter.

For 2) I have carefully audited the code and drawn every intermediate
link state and not found a loop.
