Subject: [PATCH v2 3/4] rbtree: update augmented data on the way down in rb_add_augmented_cached()
Date: Tue, 29 Sep 2026 23:24:38 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260929152439.91443-4-s921975628@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260929152439.91443-1-s921975628@gmail.com>
rb_add_augmented_cached() links the new node and then calls
->propagate() from the parent up to the root to bring the augmented
data of the ancestors up to date. It marks that as "suboptimal": every
augmented user that open-codes its insertion (interval trees, vmalloc,
drm_mm, gpu buddy, ...) instead folds the new node's value into each
ancestor while walking down, which touches no sibling and needs no
second pass. ->propagate() has to read both children of every
ancestor until it finds one whose value did not change.
Add a ->merge() callback to struct rb_augment_callbacks that folds the
augmented data of a node being inserted into one of its future
ancestors, and use it on the descent. RB_DECLARE_CALLBACKS() derives
it from the RB_AUG() list, so every user of the template gets it for
free, and sched/eevdf, the only caller of the helper, needs no change.
The new node's augmented data must describe the node alone before the
call. That was already required, since ->propagate() read it, and
sched/eevdf sets it up that way.
Measured with rbtree_test's cached augmented test switched to
rb_add_augmented_cached() (next patch), nnodes cached insert+delete,
median of 5 runs, for reference also the open-coded descent used by
augmented test 1. Raspberry Pi 4 Model B (Cortex-A72, 1.8 GHz), arch
timer ticks (54 MHz):
nnodes open-coded before after
100 459 500 442 (-11.6%)
10000 182046 186144 180208 (-3.2%)
100000 5533679 5711647 5579444 (-2.3%)
x86-64 KVM guest (Intel i7-13800H), cycles:
nnodes open-coded before after
100 7657 7622 7059 (-7.4%)
10000 4738075 5075847 4627462 (-8.8%)
100000 75618429 79840335 71324700 (-10.7%)
The other rbtree_test numbers are unchanged and the augmented invariant
checks still pass on both.
