I'm adding find_get_entries_tag() to the family of functions that already exist and include find_get_entries(), find_get_pages(), find_get_pages_contig() and find_get_pages_tag(). These functions all contain very similar code with small changes to the internal looping based on whether you're looking through all radix slots or only the ones that match a certain tag (radix_tree_for_each_slot() vs radix_tree_for_each_tagged()). We already have find_get_page() to get all pages in a range and find_get_pages_tag() to get all pages in the range with a certain tag. We have find_get_entries() to get all pages and indices for a given range, but we are currently missing find_get_entries_tag() to do that same search based on a tag, which is what I'm adding. I agree that we could probably figure out a way to combine the code for find_get_entries() with find_get_entries_tag(), as we could do for the existing functions find_get_pages() and find_get_pages_tag(). I think we should probably add find_get_entries_tag() per this patch, though, and then decide whether to do any combining later as a separate step. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
