    RDMA/uverbs: Use a linear list to describe the compiled-in uapi · 0cbf432d
    Jason Gunthorpe authored
    The 'tree' data structure is very hard to build at compile time, and this
    makes it very limited. The new radix tree based compiler can handle a more
    complex input language that does not require the compiler to perfectly
    group everything into a neat tree structure.
    
    Instead use a simple list to describe to input, where the list elements
    can be of various different 'opcodes' instructing the radix compiler what
    to do. Start out with opcodes chaining to other definition lists and
    chaining to the existing 'tree' definition.
    
    Replace the very top level of the 'object tree' with this list type and
    get rid of struct uverbs_object_tree_def and DECLARE_UVERBS_OBJECT_TREE.
