[PATCH v4] staging: greybus: Convert uart.c from IDR to XArray
From: Fabio M. De Francesco
Date: Sun Aug 29 2021 - 05:23:03 EST
Convert greybus/uart.c from IDR to XArray. The abstract data type XArray
is more memory-efficient, parallelisable, and cache friendly. It takes
advantage of RCU to perform lookups without locking. Furthermore, IDR is
deprecated because XArray has a better (cleaner and more consistent) API.

v3->v4:
Remove mutex_lock/unlock around xa_load(). These locks seem to
be unnecessary because there is a 1:1 correspondence between
a specific minor and its gb_tty and there is no reference
counting. I think that the RCU locks used inside xa_load()
are sufficient to protect this API from returning an invalid
gb_tty in case of concurrent access. Some more considerations
on this topic are in the following message to linux-kernel list:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/3554184.2JXonMZcNW@localhost.localdomain/
v2->v3:
Fix some issues according to a review by Alex Elder <elder@xxxxxxxx>
v1->v2:
Fix an issue found by the kernel test robot. It is due to
passing to xa_*lock() the same old mutex that IDR used with
the previous version of the code.
