docs: remove :c:func: annotations from xarray.rst
Now that the build system automatically marks up function references, we don't have to clutter the source files, so take it out. [Some paragraphs could now benefit from refilling, but that was left out to avoid obscuring the real changes.] Acked-by: Matthew Wilcox <willy@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>

had ``NULL`` stored to it.
|
||||
|

You can conditionally replace an entry at an index by using

:c:func:`xa_cmpxchg`. Like :c:func:`cmpxchg`, it will only succeed if

the entry at that index has the 'old' value. It also returns the entry

If you want to only store a new entry to an index if the current entry

returns ``-EBUSY`` if the entry is not empty.

You can enquire whether a mark is set on an entry by using
|
||||
:c:func:`xa_get_mark`. If the entry is not ``NULL``, you can set a mark
|
||||
on it by using :c:func:`xa_set_mark` and remove the mark from an entry by

You can copy entries out of the XArray into a plain array by calling

:c:func:`xa_extract`. Or you can iterate over the present entries in

the XArray by calling :c:func:`xa_for_each`. You may prefer to use

Calling xa_store_range() stores the same entry in a range

of indices. If you do this, some of the other operations will behave

in a slightly odd way. For example, marking the entry at one index
|

may result in the entry being marked at some, but not all of the other

indices. Storing into one index may result in the entry retrieved by

some, but not all of the other indices changing.

want the entry to become ``NULL``, you should use :c:func:`xa_erase`.

of this RCU period. You should restart the lookup from the head

- Zero entries appear as ``NULL`` through the Normal API, but occupy
|
||||
an entry in the XArray which can be used to reserve the index for
|
||||
future use. This is used by allocating XArrays for allocated entries
|
||||
which are ``NULL``.
|

|

Other internal entries may be added in the future. As far as possible, they

will be handled by :c:func:`xas_retry`.

will be handled by xas_retry().

Additional functionality
|
||||
------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
The :c:func:`xas_create_range` function allocates all the necessary memory
|
||||
The xas_create_range() function allocates all the necessary memory
|
||||
to store every entry in a range. It will set ENOMEM in the xa_state if
|
||||
it cannot allocate memory.
|
||||
|
||||
You can use :c:func:`xas_init_marks` to reset the marks on an entry
|
||||
You can use xas_init_marks() to reset the marks on an entry
|
||||
to their default state. This is usually all marks clear, unless the
|
||||
XArray is marked with ``XA_FLAGS_TRACK_FREE``, in which case mark 0 is set
|
||||
and all other marks are clear. Replacing one entry with another using
|
||||
:c:func:`xas_store` will not reset the marks on that entry; if you want
|
||||
xas_store() will not reset the marks on that entry; if you want
|
||||
the marks reset, you should do that explicitly.
|
||||
|
||||
The :c:func:`xas_load` will walk the xa_state as close to the entry
|
||||
The xas_load() will walk the xa_state as close to the entry
|
||||
as it can. If you know the xa_state has already been walked to the
|
||||
entry and need to check that the entry hasn't changed, you can use
|
||||
:c:func:`xas_reload` to save a function call.
|
||||
xas_reload() to save a function call.
|
||||
|
||||
If you need to move to a different index in the XArray, call
|
||||
:c:func:`xas_set`. This resets the cursor to the top of the tree, which
|
||||
xas_set(). This resets the cursor to the top of the tree, which
|
||||
will generally make the next operation walk the cursor to the desired
|
||||
spot in the tree. If you want to move to the next or previous index,
|
||||
call :c:func:`xas_next` or :c:func:`xas_prev`. Setting the index does
|
||||
call xas_next() or xas_prev(). Setting the index does
|
||||
not walk the cursor around the array so does not require a lock to be
|
||||
held, while moving to the next or previous index does.
|
||||
|
||||
You can search for the next present entry using :c:func:`xas_find`. This
|
||||
is the equivalent of both :c:func:`xa_find` and :c:func:`xa_find_after`;
|
||||
You can search for the next present entry using xas_find(). This
|
||||
is the equivalent of both xa_find() and xa_find_after();
|
||||
if the cursor has been walked to an entry, then it will find the next
|
||||
entry after the one currently referenced. If not, it will return the
|
||||
entry at the index of the xa_state. Using :c:func:`xas_next_entry` to
|
||||
move to the next present entry instead of :c:func:`xas_find` will save
|
||||
entry at the index of the xa_state. Using xas_next_entry() to
|
||||
move to the next present entry instead of xas_find() will save
|
||||
a function call in the majority of cases at the expense of emitting more
|
||||
inline code.
|
||||

||||
The :c:func:`xas_find_marked` function is similar. If the xa_state has

||||
The xas_find_marked() function is similar. If the xa_state has
|
||||
not been walked, it will return the entry at the index of the xa_state,

||||
if it is marked. Otherwise, it will return the first marked entry after
|
||||
the entry referenced by the xa_state. The :c:func:`xas_next_marked`

function is the equivalent of :c:func:`xas_next_entry`.

When iterating over a range of the XArray using :c:func:`xas_for_each`
|
||||
or :c:func:`xas_for_each_marked`, it may be necessary to temporarily stop
|
||||
the iteration. The :c:func:`xas_pause` function exists for this purpose.

When iterating over a range of the XArray using xas_for_each()

After you have done the necessary work and wish to resume, the xa_state

The xas_get_mark(), xas_set_mark() and

nothing if you have called xas_pause() or xas_set()

You can call xas_set_update() to have a callback function

Calling xas_load() with a multi-index xa_state will walk the
