bcache: remove unnecessary select MIN_HEAP 2025-06-20T03:48:03+00:00 Kuan-Wei Chiu visitorckw@gmail.com 2025-06-14T20:23:53+00:00 95b2e31e1752494d477c5da89d6789f769b0d67b After reverting the transition to the generic min heap library, bcache no longer depends on MIN_HEAP.

regression".

This patch series reverts the migration of bcache from its original heap
implementation to the generic min_heap library.  While the original change
aimed to simplify the code and improve maintainability, it introduced a
severe performance regression in real-world scenarios.

As reported by Robert, systems using bcache now suffer from periodic

seconds every 5 minutes.  This degrades bcache's value as a low-latency
caching layer, and leads to frequent timeouts and application stalls in
production environments.

The primary cause of this regression is the behavior of the generic
min_heap implementation's bottom-up sift_down, which performs up to 2 *
log2(n) comparisons when many elements are equal.  The original top-down
variant used by bcache only required O(1) comparisons in such cases.  The
issue was further exacerbated by commit 92a8b224b833 ("lib/min_heap:

introduced non-inlined versions of the min_heap API, adding function call
overhead to a performance-critical hot path.


This patch (of 3):

This reverts commit 3d8a9a1c35227c3f1b0bd132c9f0a80dbda07b65.

Although removing the custom swap function simplified the code, this

introduced significant performance regressions in bcache.

As reported by Robert, bcache now suffers from latency spikes, with P100

   Lance Yang enhances the hung task detector.

   The detector presently dumps the blocking tasks's stack when it is
   blocked on a mutex. Lance's series extends this to semaphores

 - "nilfs2: improve sanity checks in dirty state propagation" from
   Wentao Liang addresses a couple of minor flaws in nilfs2

 - "scripts/gdb: Fixes related to lx_per_cpu()" from Illia Ostapyshyn
   fixes a couple of issues in the gdb scripts

 - "Support kdump with LUKS encryption by reusing LUKS volume keys" from
   Coiby Xu addresses a usability problem with kdump.

   When the dump device is LUKS-encrypted, the kdump kernel may not have
   the keys to the encrypted filesystem. A full writeup of this is in
   the series [0/N] cover letter

 - "sysfs: add counters for lockups and stalls" from Max Kellermann adds
   /sys/kernel/hardlockup_count and /sys/kernel/hardlockup_count and
   /sys/kernel/rcu_stall_count

 - "fork: Page operation cleanups in the fork code" from Pasha Tatashin
   implements a number of code cleanups in fork.c

 - "scripts/gdb/symbols: determine KASLR offset on s390 during early
   boot" from Ilya Leoshkevich fixes some s390 issues in the gdb
   scripts
