Subject: Re: [PATCH v4 2/2] memblock: use binary search to locate candidate regions

> Use binary search (memblock_bsearch_start) in memblock_add_range() and
> memblock_isolate_range() to locate candidate regions instead of linearly
> scanning from index 0.

> Under heavy memory fragmentation (such as KHO page preservation registering

> insertion and isolation results in O(N^2) complexity, causing boot-time
> memory retrieval to take several minutes (~268s for 393k pages).

> Using binary search reduces the candidate search complexity to O(log N)
> (from O(N)), cutting KHO memory retrieval time from ~268s to ~50ms.

> memblock_search() open codes the same binary search, so reimplement it on
> top of the new helper.
