Patch series "Fix mas_skip_node() for mas_empty_area()", v2.
mas_empty_area() was incorrectly returning an error when there was room.
The issue was tracked down to mas_skip_node() using the incorrect
end-of-slot count. Instead of using the nodes hard limit, the limit of
data should be used.
mas_skip_node() was also setting the min and max to that of the child
node, which was unnecessary. Within these limits being set, there was
also a bug that corrupted the maple state's max if the offset was set to
the maximum node pivot. The bug was without consequence unless there was
a sufficient gap in the next child node which would cause an error to be
returned.
This patch set fixes these errors by removing the limit setting from
mas_skip_node() and uses the mas_data_end() for slot limits, and adds
tests for all failures discovered.
This patch (of 2):
mas_skip_node() is used to move the maple state to the node with a higher
limit. It does this by walking up the tree and increasing the slot count.
Since slot count may not be able to be increased, it may need to walk up
multiple times to find room to walk right to a higher limit node. The
limit of slots that was being used was the node limit and not the last
location of data in the node. This would cause the maple state to be
shifted outside actual data and enter an error state, thus returning
-EBUSY.
The result of the incorrect error state means that mas_awalk() would
return an error instead of finding the allocation space.
The fix is to use mas_data_end() in mas_skip_node() to detect the nodes
data end point and continue walking the tree up until it is safe to move
to a node with a higher limit.
The walk up the tree also sets the maple state limits so remove the buggy
code from mas_skip_node(). Setting the limits had the unfortunate side
effect of triggering another bug if the parent node was full and the there
was no suitable gap in the second last child, but room in the next child.
mas_skip_node() may also be passed a maple state in an error state from
mas_anode_descend() when no allocations are available. Return on such an
error state immediately.

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.
