2016-12-14	radix tree test suite: cache recently freed objects	Matthew Wilcox	1	-7/+41
	The kmem_cache_alloc implementation simply allocates new memory from malloc() and calls the ctor, which zeroes out the entire object. This means it cannot spot bugs where the object isn't properly reinitialised before being freed. Add a small (11 objects) cache before freeing objects back to malloc. This is enough to let us write a test to catch it, although the memory allocator is now aware of the structure of the radix tree node, since it chains free objects through ->private_data (like the percpu cache does).

2016-12-14	radix tree test suite: add some more functionality	Matthew Wilcox	1	-0/+15
	IDR needs more functionality from the kernel: kmalloc()/kfree(), and xchg().

2016-12-14	radix tree test suite: track preempt_count	Matthew Wilcox	1	-0/+1
	Rather than simply NOP out preempt_enable() and preempt_disable(), keep track of preempt_count and display it regularly in case either the test suite or the code under test is forgetting to balance the enables & disables. Only found a test-case that was forgetting to re-enable preemption, but it's a possibility worth checking.

2016-12-14	radix tree test suite: allow GFP_ATOMIC allocations to fail	Matthew Wilcox	1	-1/+6
	In order to test the preload code, it is necessary to fail GFP_ATOMIC allocations, which requires defining GFP_KERNEL and GFP_ATOMIC properly. Remove the obsolete __GFP_WAIT and copy the definitions of the __GFP flags which are used from the kernel include files. We also need the real definition of gfpflags_allow_blocking() to persuade the radix tree to actually use its preallocated nodes.

2016-03-17	radix tree test harness	Matthew Wilcox	1	-0/+60
	This code is mostly from Andrew Morton and Nick Piggin; tarball downloaded from http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/rtth.tar.gz with sha1sum 0ce679db9ec047296b5d1ff7a1dfaa03a7bef1bd Some small modifications were necessary to the test harness to fix the build with the current Linux source code. I also made minor modifications to automatically test the radix-tree.c and radix-tree.h files that are in the current source tree, as opposed to a copied and slightly modified version. I am sure more could be done to tidy up the harness, as well as adding more tests.
