    radix-tree tests: add iteration test · eec48525
    Ross Zwisler authored
    There are four cases I can see where we could end up with a NULL 'slot' in
    radix_tree_next_slot().  This unit test exercises all four of them, making
    sure that if in the future we have an unsafe path through
    radix_tree_next_slot(), we'll catch it.
    
    Here are details on the four cases:
    
    1) radix_tree_iter_retry() via a non-tagged iteration like
    radix_tree_for_each_slot().  In this case we currently aren't seeing a bug
    because radix_tree_iter_retry() sets
    
        iter->next_index = iter->index;
    
    which means that in in the else case in radix_tree_next_slot(), 'count' is
    zero, so we skip over the while() loop and effectively just return NULL
    without ever dereferencing 'slot'.
    
    2) radix_tree_iter_retry() via tagged iteration like
    radix_tree_for_each_tagged().  This case was giving us NULL pointer
    dereferences in testing, and was fixed with this commit:
    
    commit 3cb9185c ("radix-tree: fix radix_tree_iter_retry() for tagged
    iterators.")
    
    This fix doesn't explicitly check for 'slot' being NULL, though, it works
    around the NULL pointer dereference by instead zeroing iter->tags in
    radix_tree_iter_retry(), which makes us bail out of the if() case in
    radix_tree_next_slot() before we dereference 'slot'.
    
    3) radix_tree_iter_next() via via a non-tagged iteration like
    radix_tree_for_each_slot().  This currently happens in shmem_tag_pins()
    and shmem_partial_swap_usage().
    
    As with non-tagged iteration, 'count' in the else case of
    radix_tree_next_slot() is zero, so we skip over the while() loop and
    effectively just return NULL without ever dereferencing 'slot'.
    
    4) radix_tree_iter_next() via tagged iteration like
    radix_tree_for_each_tagged().  This happens in shmem_wait_for_pins().
    
    radix_tree_iter_next() zeros out iter->tags, so we end up exiting
    radix_tree_next_slot() here:
    
        if (flags & RADIX_TREE_ITER_TAGGED) {
    	    void *canon = slot;
    
    	    iter->tags >>= 1;
    	    if (unlikely(!iter->tags))
    		    return NULL;
