Patch series "xarray: extract __xa_cmpxchg_raw". This series reduces duplication between __xa_cmpxchg and __xa_insert by extracting a new function that does not coerce zero entries to null on the return path. The new function may be used by the upcoming Rust xarray abstraction in its reservation API where it is useful to tell the difference between zero entries and null slots. This patch (of 2): Reduce code duplication by extracting a static inline function that returns its argument if it is non-zero and NULL otherwise. This changes xas_result to check for errors before checking for zero but this cannot change the behavior of existing callers: - __xa_erase: passes the result of xas_store(_, NULL) which cannot fail. - __xa_store: passes the result of xas_store(_, entry) which may fail. xas_store calls xas_create when entry is not NULL which returns NULL on error, which is immediately checked. This should not change observable behavior. - __xa_cmpxchg: passes the result of xas_load(_) which might be zero. This would previously return NULL regardless of the outcome of xas_store but xas_store cannot fail if xas_load returns zero because there is no need to allocate memory. - xa_store_range: same as __xa_erase.

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.
