Subject: [PATCH v2] rust_binder: speed up get_node_debug_info using lower_bound iter
Date: Fri, 31 Jul 2026 10:31:03 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260731133253.661634-1-rafael@rcpassos.me> (raw)

Finding the next node in the RBTree can be done more efficiently using
the cursor_lower_bound, as it reduces cost from O(n) to O(log n).

V1: https://lore.kernel.org/rust-for-linux/20260728012249.3084154-1-rafael@rcpassos.me/
Changes from V1:
    - remove the "if/else" block checking if the current>prt.
      The cursor_lower_bound function returns the "key" or the next larger.
      This is indeed better, my check was unnecessary.
    - add a comment about this fact before the cursor_lower_bound


It took me a while to get the AOSP + Cuttlefish setup running, and
using the rust binder module. I got it working, and ran:
libhwbinder_benchmark libbinder_benchmark, hwbinderThroughputTest
            libhwbinder_latency and binderThroughputTest benches.
But apparently none of them used the function I touched (I added log).
Also, the "hw" variants like hwbinderThroughputTest kept logging a
 "worker_fx:217 condition:service->isRemote() failed" message.
I decided to send the v2 anyway.

I am thinking about writing a benchmark focused on node scaling
    (test N iterations with X nodes), and run with small and larger Xs.)
Would such a benchmark be welcome here in upstream mainline ?
It would be in either C or Rust (the AOSP ones are in C++).
Would it live under `tools/perf` ?

I looked at the kunit tests (`drivers/android/tests`) and they dont
cover the rust binder either. That's another thing I could try to add.


I'd love some feedback regarding next steps :)
Thanks,
Rafael Passos
