2024-06-24lib/plist.c: avoid worst case scenario in plist_addI Hsin Cheng
Worst case scenario of plist_add() happens when the priority of the inserted plist_node is going to be the largest after the insertion is done. The cost is going to be more significant when the original plist is longer, because the iterator is going to traverse the whole plist to find the correct position to insert the new node. The situation can be avoided by using a reverse iterator at the same time, doing so the maximum possible number of iteration is going to shrink from N to N/2. The proposed change of plist_add pasts the test in lib/plist.c to validate its correctness, also add the worst case scenario test for plist_add() in plist_test(). The worst case test are tested with the size of test_data and test_node growing from 200 to 1000. The result are showned in the following table, in which we can observed that the proposed change of plist_add performs better than the original version, and the difference between these two implementations are more significant with the size of N growing. The random case test [1], and best case test [2] are also provided, with result showing the proposed change performs slightly better in random case test while the original implementation performs slightly better in best case test, while the difference in both test are minor, we can see them as even in those two situations. ----------------------------------------------------------- | Test size | 200 | 400 | 600 | 800 | 1000 | ----------------------------------------------------------- | new_plist_add | 140911| 548681| 1220512| 2048493| 3763755| ----------------------------------------------------------- | old_plist_add | 188198| 774222| 1643547| 3008929| 4947435| ----------------------------------------------------------- Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20240614154603.65203-1-richard120310@gmail.com Signed-off-by: I Hsin Cheng <richard120310@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Ching-Chun (Jim) Huang <jserv@ccns.ncku.edu.tw> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>
2024-06-24lib/plist.c: enforce memory ordering in plist_check_listI Hsin Cheng
There exists an iteration over a plist in plist_check_list(), and memory dependency exists between variables "prev", "next" and "prev->next". As plist is used in the scheduling subsystem, we should guarantee the memory ordering between multiple processors. Using macro "WRITE_ONCE()" can help us to ensure the memory ordering as it was stated in "Documentation/memory-barriers.txt".

2019-05-14lib/plist: rename DEBUG_PI_LIST to DEBUG_PLISTDavidlohr Bueso
This is a lot more appropriate than PI_LIST, which in the kernel one would assume that it has to do with priority-inheritance; which is not -- furthermore futexes make use of plists so this can be even more confusing, albeit the debug nature of the config option.

<linux/sched/clock.h> We are going to split <linux/sched/clock.h> out of <linux/sched.h>, which will have to be picked up from other headers and .c files. Create a trivial placeholder <linux/sched/clock.h> file that just maps to <linux/sched.h> to make this patch obviously correct and bisectable.

Replace pr_debug() in lib/plist.c test function plist_test() with printk(KERN_DEBUG ...). Without DEBUG defined, pr_debug() is complied out, but the entire plist_test() function is already inside CONFIG_DEBUG_PI_LIST, so printk should just be used directly.

2014-06-04lib/plist: add plist_requeueDan Streetman
Add plist_requeue(), which moves the specified plist_node after all other same-priority plist_nodes in the list. This is essentially an optimized plist_del() followed by plist_add(). This is needed by swap, which (with the next patch in this set) uses a plist of available swap devices. When a swap device (either a swap partition or swap file) are added to the system with swapon(), the device is added to a plist, ordered by the swap device's priority. When swap needs to allocate a page from one of the swap devices, it takes the page from the first swap device on the plist, which is the highest priority swap device. The swap device is left in the plist until all its pages are used, and then removed from the plist when it becomes full. However, as described in man 2 swapon, swap must allocate pages from swap devices with the same priority in round-robin order; to do this, on each swap page allocation, swap uses a page from the first swap device in the plist, and then calls plist_requeue() to move that swap device entry to after any other same-priority swap devices. The next swap page allocation will again use a page from the first swap device in the plist and requeue it, and so on, resulting in round-robin usage of equal-priority swap devices. Also add plist_test_requeue() test function, for use by plist_test() to test plist_requeue() function.

2011-03-11plist: Shrink struct plist_headLai Jiangshan
struct plist_head is used in struct task_struct as well as struct rtmutex. If we can make it smaller, it will also make these structures smaller as well. The field prio_list in struct plist_head is seldom used and we can get its information from the plist_nodes. Removing this field will decrease the size of plist_head by half.
