Patch series "refine storing null", v5. When overwriting the whole range with NULL, current behavior is not correct. An empty tree is represented by having the tree point to NULL directly. An empty tree indicates the entire range (0-ULONG_MAX) is NULL. A store operation into an existing node that causes 0 - ULONG_MAX to be equal to NULL may not be restored to an empty state - a node is used to store the single range instead. This is wasteful and different from the initial setup of the tree. Once the tree is using a single node to store 0 - ULONG_MAX, problems may arise when storing more values into a tree with the unexpected state of 0 - ULONG being a single range in a node. User visible issues may mean a corrupt tree and incorrect storage of information within the tree. This would be limited to users who create and then empty a tree by overwriting all values, then try to store more NULLs into the empty tree. I cannot come up with an example of any user doing this (users usually destroy the tree and generally don't keep trying to store NULLs over NULLs), but patch 4/5 "maple_tree: refine mas_store_root() on storing NULL" should be backported just in case. This patch (of 5): Currently for an empty tree, it would print: maple_tree(0x7ffcd02c6ee0) flags 1, height 0 root (nil) 0: (nil) This is a little misleading. Let's print (empty) for an empty tree.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
