[PATCH] handle overflows in radix_tree_gang_lookup()
Fix a radix-tree bug spotted by Vladimir Saveliev <vs@namesys.com>. Each step in the radix tree spans six address bits. So a height=6 tree spans 36-bits worth of nodes. On 32-bit machines radix_tree_gang_lookup() doesn't handle this right - at the 12TB mark it wraps back to zero, and returns pages at quite wrong indices. The patch fixes all that up, and tidies a couple of things. A user-space test harness was developed so that the code can be sanely tested. It is at http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/rtth.tar.gz
