Michel Lespinasse 6d58452dc0 rbtree: adjust root color in rb_insert_color() only when necessary
The root node of an rbtree must always be black.  However,
rb_insert_color() only needs to maintain this invariant when it has been
broken - that is, when it exits the loop due to the current (red) node
being the root.  In all other cases (exiting after tree rotations, or
exiting due to an existing black parent) the invariant is already
satisfied, so there is no need to adjust the root node color.

Michel Lespinasse 1f0528653e rbtree: break out of rb_insert_color loop after tree rotation
It is a well known property of rbtrees that insertion never requires more
than two tree rotations.  In our implementation, after one loop iteration
identified one or two necessary tree rotations, we would iterate and look
for more.  However at that point the node's parent would always be black,
which would cause us to exit the loop.

We can make the code flow more obvious by just adding a break statement
after the tree rotations, where we know we are done.  Additionally, in the
cases where two tree rotations are necessary, we don't have to update the
'node' pointer as it wouldn't be used until the next loop iteration, which
we now avoid due to this break statement.

Michel Lespinasse 910a742d4b rbtree: performance and correctness test
This small module helps measure the performance of rbtree insert and
erase.

Additionally, we run a few correctness tests to check that the rbtrees
have all desired properties:

- contains the right number of nodes in the order desired,
- never two consecutive red nodes on any path,
- all paths to leaf nodes have the same number of black nodes,
- root node is black

Michel Lespinasse bf7ad8eeab rbtree: move some implementation details from rbtree.h to rbtree.c

not part of that API, so move them to lib/rbtree.c

Michel Lespinasse ea5272f5c9 rbtree: fix incorrect rbtree node insertion in fs/proc/proc_sysctl.c
The recently added code to use rbtrees in sysctl did not follow the proper
rbtree interface on insertion - it was calling rb_link_node() which
inserts a new node into the binary tree, but missed the call to
rb_insert_color() which properly balances the rbtree and establishes all
expected rbtree invariants.

I found out about this only because faulty commit also used
rb_init_node(), which I am removing within this patchset.  But I think
it's an easy mistake to make, and it makes me wonder if we should change
the rbtree API so that insertions would be done with a single rb_insert()
call (even if its implementation could still inline the rb_link_node()
part and call a private __rb_insert_color function to do the rebalancing).

Michel Lespinasse 4c199a93a2 rbtree: empty nodes have no color
Empty nodes have no color.  We can make use of this property to simplify
the code emitted by the RB_EMPTY_NODE and RB_CLEAR_NODE macros.  Also,
we can get rid of the rb_init_node function which had been introduced by
commit 88d19cf379 ("timers: Add rb_init_node() to allow for stack
allocated rb nodes") to avoid some issue with the empty node's color not
being initialized.

I'm not sure what the RB_EMPTY_NODE checks in rb_prev() / rb_next() are
doing there, though.  axboe introduced them in commit 10fd48f237
("rbtree: fixed reversed RB_EMPTY_NODE and rb_next/prev").  The way I
see it, the 'empty node' abstraction is only used by rbtree users to
flag nodes that they haven't inserted in any rbtree, so asking the
predecessor or successor of such nodes doesn't make any sense.

One final rb_init_node() caller was recently added in sysctl code to
implement faster sysctl name lookups.  This code doesn't make use of
RB_EMPTY_NODE at all, and from what I could see it only called
rb_init_node() under the mistaken assumption that such initialization was
required before node insertion.

Michel Lespinasse 1457d28778 rbtree: reference Documentation/rbtree.txt for usage instructions
I recently started looking at the rbtree code (with an eye towards
improving the augmented rbtree support, but I haven't gotten there yet).
I noticed a lot of possible speed improvements, which I am now proposing
in this patch set.

Patches 1-4 are preparatory: remove internal functions from rbtree.h so
that users won't be tempted to use them instead of the documented APIs,
clean up some incorrect usages I've noticed (in particular, with the
recently added fs/proc/proc_sysctl.c rbtree usage), reference the
documentation so that people have one less excuse to miss it, etc.

Patch 5 is a small module I wrote to check the rbtree performance.  It
creates 100 nodes with random keys and repeatedly inserts and erases them
from an rbtree.  Additionally, it has code to check for rbtree invariants
after each insert or erase operation.

Patches 6-12 is where the rbtree optimizations are done, and they touch
only that one file, lib/rbtree.c .  I am getting good results out of these
- in my small benchmark doing rbtree insertion (including search) and
erase, I'm seeing a 30% runtime reduction on Sandybridge E5, which is more
than I initially thought would be possible.  (the results aren't as
impressive on my two other test hosts though, AMD barcelona and Intel
Westmere, where I am seeing 14% runtime reduction only).  The code size -
both source (ommiting comments) and compiled - is also shorter after these
changes.  However, I do admit that the updated code is more arduous to
read - one big reason for that is the removal of the tree rotation
helpers, which added some overhead but also made it easier to reason about
things locally.  Overall, I believe this is an acceptable compromise,
given that this code doesn't get modified very often, and that I have good
tests for it.

Upon Peter's suggestion, I added comments showing the rtree configuration
before every rotation.  I think they help; however it's still best to have
a copy of the cormen/leiserson/rivest book when digging into this code.

This patch: reference Documentation/rbtree.txt for usage instructions

include/linux/rbtree.h included some basic usage instructions, while
Documentation/rbtree.txt had some more complete and easier to follow
instructions.  Replacing the former with a reference to the latter.

Michel Lespinasse 1638113d9d ipc/mqueue: remove unnecessary rb_init_node() calls
Commit d6629859b3 ("ipc/mqueue: improve performance of send/recv") and
ce2d52cc ("ipc/mqueue: add rbtree node caching support") introduced an
rbtree of message priorities, and usage of rb_init_node() to initialize
the corresponding nodes.  As it turns out, rb_init_node() is unnecessary
here, as the nodes are fully initialized on insertion by rb_link_node()
and the code doesn't access nodes that aren't inserted on the rbtree.

Removing the rb_init_node() calls as I removed that function during
rbtree API cleanups (the only other use of it was in a place that
similarly didn't require it).

This patch is part of the architecture backend for thp on s390.  It

pgtable_trans_huge_deposit() and pgtable_trans_huge_withdraw().  Unlike
other archs, s390 has no struct page * as pgtable_t, but rather a pointer
to the page table.  So instead of saving the pagetable pre- allocation
list info inside the struct page, it is being saved within the pagetable
itself.

called with an empty function, which will have the expected effect.

Gerald Schaefer e3ebcf6438 thp: remove assumptions on pgtable_t type
The thp page table pre-allocation code currently assumes that pgtable_t is
of type "struct page *".  This may not be true for all architectures, so
this patch removes that assumption by replacing the functions
prepare_pmd_huge_pte() and get_pmd_huge_pte() with two new functions that

It also removes two VM_BUG_ON checks for page_count() and page_mapcount()
operating on a pgtable_t.  Apart from the VM_BUG_ON removal, there will be
no functional change introduced by this patch.

This patch adds a HAVE_ARCH_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE instead.  x86 already has
MMU "def_bool y", so the MMU check is superfluous there and
HAVE_ARCH_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE can be selected in arch/x86/Kconfig.
