[PATCH 1/3] [RFC] Interval tree implementation

From: John Stultz
Date: Fri Jun 01 2012 - 19:40:12 EST


After Andrew suggested something like his mumbletree idea
to better store a list of intervals, I worked on a few different
approaches, and this is what I've finally managed to get working.

The idea of storing intervals in a tree is nice, but has a number
of complications. When adding an interval, its possible that a
large interval will consume and merge a number of smaller intervals.
When removing a interval, its possible you may end up splitting an
existing interval, causing one interval to become two. This makes it
very difficult to provide generic list_head like behavior, as
the parent structures would need to be duplicated and removed,
and that has lots of memory ownership issues.

So, this is a much simplified and more list_head like
implementation. You can add a node to a tree, or remove a node
to a tree, but the generic implementation doesn't do the
merging or splitting for you. But it does provide helpers to
find overlapping and adjacent intervals.

Andrew also really wanted this interval-tree implementation to be
resuable so we don't duplicate the file locking logic. I'm not
totally convinced that the requirements between the volatile
intervals and file locking are really equivelent, but this reduced
impelementation may make it possible.

Changelog:
v2:
* Reworked code to use an rbtree instead of splaying

v3:
* Added range_tree_next_in_range() to avoid having to start
lookups from the root every time.
* Fixed some comments and return NULL instead of 0, as suggested
by Aneesh Kumar K.V

v6:
* Fixed range_tree_in_range() so that it finds the earliest range,
rather then the first. This allows the next_in_range() function
to properly cover all the ranges in the tree.
* Minor clenaups to simplify some of the functions

v7:
* Changed terminology from rangetree to intervaltree as suggested
by Jan Kara
