The following scenario can result in a race condition:
Consider a node with the following indices and values
a<------->b<----------->c<--------->d
0xA NULL 0xB
CPU 1 CPU 2
--------- ---------
mas_set_range(a,b)
mas_erase()
-> range is expanded (a,c) because of null expansion
mas_nomem()
mas_unlock()
mas_store_range(b,c,0xC)
The node now looks like:
a<------->b<----------->c<--------->d
0xA 0xC 0xB
mas_lock()
mas_erase() <------ range of erase is still (a,c)
The node is now NULL from (a,c) but the write from CPU 2 should have been
retained and range (b,c) should still have 0xC as its value. We can fix
this by re-intializing to the original index and last. This does not need
a cc: Stable as there are no users of the maple tree which use internal
locking and this condition is only possible with internal locking.

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.
