Ross Zwisler 3e252fa7d4 radix tree test suite: add item_delete_rcu()
Currently the lifetime of "struct item" entries in the radix tree are
not controlled by RCU, but are instead deleted inline as they are
removed from the tree.

In the following patches we add a test which has threads iterating over
items pulled from the tree and verifying them in an
rcu_read_lock()/rcu_read_unlock() section.  This means that though an
item has been removed from the tree it could still be being worked on by
other threads until the RCU grace period expires.  So, we need to
actually free the "struct item" structures at the end of the grace
period, just as we do with "struct radix_tree_node" items.

README

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 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.
