Subject: [patch 44/48] rbtree: Provide rbtree with links
Date: Tue, 24 Feb 2026 17:38:47 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260224163431.668401024@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20260224163022.795809588@kernel.org
Some RB tree users require quick access to the next and the previous node,
e.g. to check whether a modification of the node results in a change of the
nodes position in the tree. If the node position does not change, then the
modification can happen in place without going through a full enqueue
requeue cycle. A upcoming use case for this are the timer queues of the
hrtimer subsystem as they can optimize for timers which are frequently
rearmed while enqueued.
This can be obviously achieved with rb_next() and rb_prev(), but those
turned out to be quite expensive for hotpath operations depending on the
tree depth.
Add a linked RB tree variant where add() and erase() maintain the links
between the nodes. Like the cached variant it provides a pointer to the
left most node in the root.
It intentionally does not use a [h]list head as there is no real need for
true list operations as the list is strictly coupled to the tree and
and cannot be manipulated independently.
It sets the nodes previous pointer to NULL for the left most node and the
next pointer to NULL for the right most node. This allows a quick check
especially for the left most node without consulting the list head address,
which creates better code.
Aside of the rb_leftmost cached pointer this could trivially provide a
rb_rightmost pointer as well, but there is no usage for that (yet).
