Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v2 3/3] selftests/bpf: libarena: Cache the rbtree's leftmost node and count
Date: Wed, 11 Nov 2026 16:34:16 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261111073416.203153-4-changwoo@igalia.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261111073416.203153-1-changwoo@igalia.com>
A run queue built on the tree needs lockless peeks at its head and
length, like scx_bpf_dsq_peek() and scx_bpf_dsq_nr_queued() for
sched_ext DSQs.
Keep the leftmost node and the node count in struct rbtree. An insert
changes the head only when it links left of it, and removing the head
hands it to its in-order successor before the tree changes. rb_least()
and rb_pop() use the cached head. rb_first_lockless(),
rb_first_key_lockless() and rb_nr_nodes_lockless() read them without
the lock. The head pointer, published with release ordering, decides
emptiness, and the key is read through it.
Add rb_init() for a tree embedded in another object, such as a queue
that keeps its lock next to the tree, and rb_fini() to empty it, since
rb_destroy() also frees the tree's memory.
Add selftests for the head and count across inserts, removals and
updates, and for an embedded tree.
