[PATCH 3/3] maple_tree: assert static storage for DEFINE_MTREE()

From: Yury Norov

Date: Fri Sep 11 2026 - 18:26:56 EST


DEFINE_MTREE() uses MTREE_INIT(), which initializes the tree's embedded
lock with a static spinlock initializer. If the tree is an automatic
local object, lockdep rejects its address as a non-static class key and
disables locking validation on the first lock acquisition.

Apply ASSERT_STATIC_STORAGE() to DEFINE_MTREE() to catch automatic
local definitions at compile time. For example:

void example(void)
{
DEFINE_MTREE(mt);
mtree_destroy(&mt);
}

GCC reports:

error: initializer element is not constant
name##_storage_check = &(name)
^
note: in expansion of macro 'ASSERT_STATIC_STORAGE'
ASSERT_STATIC_STORAGE(name)
note: in expansion of macro 'DEFINE_MTREE'
DEFINE_MTREE(mt);

File-scope definitions and static local trees remain valid. Automatic
local trees must instead use mt_init() or mt_init_flags(). Direct uses of
MTREE_INIT() and MTREE_INIT_EXT() are unchanged.

Replace the local DEFINE_MTREE() in the interval-tree span test with a
plain declaration; the test already initializes the tree with
mt_init_flags() before use. Convert the three local Maple Trees in the
userspace radix-tree tests to mt_init().

Validated file-scope and static local definitions with a kernel object
build, and confirmed that an automatic local definition fails to compile.
The Maple Tree test and region allocation benchmark objects also build
with lockdep enabled.
