/*
 * Regression1
 * Description:
 * Salman Qazi describes the following radix-tree bug:
 *
 * In the following case, we get can get a deadlock:
 *
 * 0.  The radix tree contains two items, one has the index 0.
 * 1.  The reader (in this case find_get_pages) takes the rcu_read_lock.
 * 2.  The reader acquires slot(s) for item(s) including the index 0 item.
 * 3.  The non-zero index item is deleted, and as a consequence the other item
 *     is moved to the root of the tree. The place where it used to be is queued
 *     for deletion after the readers finish.
 * 3b. The zero item is deleted, removing it from the direct slot, it remains in
 *     the rcu-delayed indirect node.
 * 4.  The reader looks at the index 0 slot, and finds that the page has 0 ref
 *     count
 * 5.  The reader looks at it again, hoping that the item will either be freed
 *     or the ref count will increase. This never happens, as the slot it is
 *     looking at will never be updated. Also, this slot can never be reclaimed
 *     because the reader is holding rcu_read_lock and is in an infinite loop.
 *
 * The fix is to re-use the same "indirect" pointer case that requires a slot
 * lookup retry into a general "retry the lookup" bit.
 *
 * Running:
 * This test should run to completion in a few seconds. The above bug would
 * cause it to hang indefinitely.
 *
 * Upstream commit:
 * Not yet
