This will bring new bugs, mas->index should take the maximum
value with mas->index and mas_safe_min(mas, pivots, offset),
otherwise there will be overwriting allocation.

Maybe you have forgotten, I have posted a patch[1] with the same
function last week. I didn't know of a place where mas was used
after mas_empty_area() before. That patch does not introduce new
bugs, but the code style has not been updated yet. If using this
patch will bring more conflicts with my patch set, so what should
I do? 😁
