[PATCH v2 00/16] Reduce preallocations for maple tree

From: Liam R. Howlett
Date: Mon Jun 12 2023 - 16:40:50 EST


Initial work on preallocations showed no regression in performance
during testing, but recently some users (both on [1] and off [android]
list) have reported that preallocating the worst-case number of nodes
has caused some slow down. This patch set addresses the number of
allocations in a few ways.

During munmap() most munmap() operations will remove a single VMA, so
leverage the fact that the maple tree can place a single pointer at
range 0 - 0 without allocating. This is done by changing the index in
the 'sidetree'.

Re-introduce the entry argument to mas_preallocate() so that a more
intelligent guess of the node count can be made.

During development of v2 of this patch set, I also noticed that the
number of nodes being allocated for a rebalance was beyond what could
possibly be needed. This is addressed in patch 0008.

Patches are in the following order:
0001-0002: Testing framework for benchmarking some operations
0003-0004: Reduction of maple node allocation in sidetree
0005: Small cleanup of do_vmi_align_munmap()
0006-0015: mas_preallocate() calculation change
0016: Change the vma iterator order

Changes since v1:
- Reduced preallocations for append and slot store - Thanks Peng Zhang
- Added patch to reduce node allocations for mas_rebalance() (patch 0008)
- Reduced resets during store setup to avoid duplicate walking (patch 0015)
