This is an exceptionally complicated function with just one caller (tag_pages_for_writeback). We devote a large portion of the runtime of the test suite to testing this one function which has one caller. By introducing the new function radix_tree_iter_tag_set(), we can eliminate all of the complexity while keeping the performance. The caller can now use a fairly standard radix_tree_for_each() loop, and it doesn't need to worry about tricksy things like 'start' wrapping. The test suite continues to spend a large amount of time investigating this function, but now it's testing the underlying primitives such as radix_tree_iter_resume() and the radix_tree_for_each_tagged() iterator which are also used by other parts of the kernel.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
