SubjectApplied "regmap: rbtree: Avoid overlapping nodes" to the regmap tree
The patch

regmap: rbtree: Avoid overlapping nodes

has been applied to the regmap tree at

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/broonie/regmap.git

All being well this means that it will be integrated into the linux-next
tree (usually sometime in the next 24 hours) and sent to Linus during
the next merge window (or sooner if it is a bug fix), however if
problems are discovered then the patch may be dropped or reverted.

You may get further e-mails resulting from automated or manual testing
and review of the tree, please engage with people reporting problems and
send followup patches addressing any issues that are reported if needed.

If any updates are required or you are submitting further changes they
should be sent as incremental updates against current git, existing
patches will not be replaced.

Please add any relevant lists and maintainers to the CCs when replying
to this mail.

Thanks,
Mark

Subject: [PATCH] regmap: rbtree: Avoid overlapping nodes

When searching for a suitable node that should be used for inserting a new
register, which does not fall within the range of any existing node, we not
only looks for nodes which are directly adjacent to the new register, but
for nodes within a certain proximity. This is done to avoid creating lots
of small nodes with just a few registers spacing in between, which would
increase memory usage as well as tree traversal time.

This means there might be multiple node candidates which fall within the
proximity range of the new register. If we choose the first node we
encounter, under certain register insertion patterns it is possible to end
up with overlapping ranges. This will break order in the rbtree and can
cause the cached register value to become corrupted.

E.g. take the simplified example where the proximity range is 2 and the
register insertion sequence is 1, 4, 2, 3, 5.
* Insert of register 1 creates a new node, this is the root of the rbtree
* Insert of register 4 creates a new node, which is inserted to the right
of the root.
* Insert of register 2 gets inserted to the first node
* Insert of register 3 gets inserted to the first node
* Insert of register 5 also gets inserted into the first node since
this is the first node encountered and it is within the proximity range.
Now there are two overlapping nodes.

To avoid this always choose the node that is closest to the new register.
This will ensure that nodes will not overlap. The tree traversal is still
done as a binary search, we just don't stop at the first node found. So the
complexity of the algorithm stays within the same order.

Ideally if a new register is in the range of two adjacent blocks those
blocks should be merged, but that is a much more invasive change and left
for later.

The issue was initially introduced in commit 472fdec7380c ("regmap: rbtree:
Reduce number of nodes, take 2"), but became much more exposed by commit
6399aea629b0 ("regmap: rbtree: When adding a reg do a bsearch for target
node") which changed the order in which nodes are looked-up.
