Sidhartha Kumar bd164d81a7 maple_tree: introduce store_type enum
Patch series "Introduce a store type enum for the Maple tree", v4.

================================ OVERVIEW ================================

This series implements two work items[3]: "aligning mas_store_gfp() with
mas_preallocate()" and "enum for store type".

mas_store_gfp() is modified to preallocate nodes.  This simplies many of
the write helper functions by allowing them to use mas_store_gfp() rather
than open coding node allocation and error handling.

The enum defines the following store types:

enum store_type {
    wr_invalid,
    wr_new_root,
    wr_store_root,
    wr_exact_fit,
    wr_spanning_store,
    wr_split_store,
    wr_rebalance,
    wr_append,
    wr_node_store,
    wr_slot_store,
};

In the current maple tree code, a walk down the tree is done in
mas_preallocate() to determine the number of nodes needed for this write. 
After node allocation, mas_wr_store_entry() will perform another walk to
determine which write helper function to use to complete the write.

Rather than performing the second walk, we can store the type of write in
the maple write state during node allocation and read this field to
complete the write.

Patches 1-16 implement this store type feature.
Patch 17 is a cleanup patch to change functions that have unused return
types to be void.

================================ TESTING =================================

Testing was done with the maple tree test suite.  A new test case is also
added to validate the order in which we test for and assign the store
type.

This patch (of 17):

Add a store_type enum that is stored in ma_state.  This will be used to
keep track of partial walks of the tree so that subsequent walks can pick
up where a previous walk left off.

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.
