xa_cmpxchg() was a little too magic in turning ZERO entries into NULL, and would leave the entry set to the ZERO entry instead of releasing it for future use. After careful review of existing users of xa_cmpxchg(), change the semantics so that it does not translate either incoming argument from NULL into ZERO entries. Add several tests to the test-suite to make sure this problem doesn't come back. Reported-by: Jason Gunthorpe <jgg@ziepe.ca> Signed-off-by: Matthew Wilcox <willy@infradead.org>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
