XArray was introduced to hold large array of pointers with a simple API.
XArray API also provides array semantics which simplifies the way we store
and access the backing pages, and the code becomes significantly easier
to understand.
No performance difference was noticed between the two implementation
using fio with direct=1 [1].
[1] Performance in KIOPS:
| radix-tree | XArray | Diff
| | |
write | 315 | 313 | -0.6%
randwrite | 286 | 290 | +1.3%
read | 330 | 335 | +1.5%
randread | 309 | 312 | +0.9%

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.
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.
