[PATCH 8/9] mm: workingset: move shadow entry tracking to radix tree exceptional tracking

From: Johannes Weiner
Date: Thu Nov 17 2016 - 14:32:20 EST

Currently, we track the shadow entries in the page cache in the upper
bits of the radix_tree_node->count, behind the back of the radix tree
implementation. Because the radix tree code has no awareness of them,
we rely on random subtleties throughout the implementation (such as
the node->count != 1 check in the shrinking code, which is meant to
exclude multi-entry nodes but also happens to skip nodes with only one
shadow entry, as that's accounted in the upper bits). This is error
prone and has, in fact, caused the bug fixed in d3798ae8c6f3 ("mm:
filemap: don't plant shadow entries without radix tree node").

To remove these subtleties, this patch moves shadow entry tracking
from the upper bits of node->count to the existing counter for
exceptional entries. node->count goes back to being a simple counter
of valid entries in the tree node and can be shrunk to a single byte.

This vastly simplifies the page cache code. All accounting happens
natively inside the radix tree implementation, and maintaining the LRU
linkage of shadow nodes is consolidated into a single function in the
workingset code that is called for leaf nodes affected by a change in
the page cache tree.

This also removes the last user of the __radix_delete_node() return
value. Eliminate it.
