/**
|
|
* list_sort - sort a list
|
|
* @priv: private data, opaque to list_sort(), passed to @cmp
|
|
* @head: the list to sort
|
|
* @cmp: the elements comparison function
|
|
*
|
|
* The comparison funtion @cmp must return > 0 if @a should sort after
|
|
* @b ("@a > @b" if you want an ascending sort), and <= 0 if @a should
|
|
* sort before @b *or* their original order should be preserved. It is
|
|
* always called with the element that came first in the input in @a,
|
|
* and list_sort is a stable sort, so it is not necessary to distinguish
|
|
* the @a < @b and @a == @b cases.
|
|
*
|
|
* This is compatible with two styles of @cmp function:
|
|
* - The traditional style which returns <0 / =0 / >0, or
|
|
* - Returning a boolean 0/1.
|
|
* The latter offers a chance to save a few cycles in the comparison
|
|
* (which is used by e.g. plug_ctx_cmp() in block/blk-mq.c).
|
|
*
|
|
* A good way to write a multi-word comparison is::
|
|
*
|
|
* if (a->high != b->high)
|
|
* return a->high > b->high;
|
|
* if (a->middle != b->middle)
|
|
* return a->middle > b->middle;
|
|
* return a->low > b->low;
|
|
*
|
|
*
|
|
* This mergesort is as eager as possible while always performing at least
|
|
* 2:1 balanced merges. Given two pending sublists of size 2^k, they are
|
|
* merged to a size-2^(k+1) list as soon as we have 2^k following elements.
|
|
*
|
|
* Thus, it will avoid cache thrashing as long as 3*2^k elements can
|
|
* fit into the cache. Not quite as good as a fully-eager bottom-up
|
|
* mergesort, but it does use 0.2*n fewer comparisons, so is faster in
|
|
* the common case that everything fits into L1.
|
|
*
|
|
*
|
|
* The merging is controlled by "count", the number of elements in the
|
|
* pending lists. This is beautiully simple code, but rather subtle.
|
|
*
|
|
* Each time we increment "count", we set one bit (bit k) and clear
|
|
* bits k-1 .. 0. Each time this happens (except the very first time
|
|
* for each bit, when count increments to 2^k), we merge two lists of
|
|
* size 2^k into one list of size 2^(k+1).
|
|
*
|
|
* This merge happens exactly when the count reaches an odd multiple of
|
|
* 2^k, which is when we have 2^k elements pending in smaller lists,
|
|
* so it's safe to merge away two lists of size 2^k.
|
|
*
|
|
* After this happens twice, we have created two lists of size 2^(k+1),
|
|
* which will be merged into a list of size 2^(k+2) before we create
|
|
* a third list of size 2^(k+1), so there are never more than two pending.
|
|
*
|
|
* The number of pending lists of size 2^k is determined by the
|
|
* state of bit k of "count" plus two extra pieces of information:
|
|
*
|
|
* - The state of bit k-1 (when k == 0, consider bit -1 always set), and
|
|
* - Whether the higher-order bits are zero or non-zero (i.e.
|
|
* is count >= 2^(k+1)).
|
|
*
|
|
* There are six states we distinguish. "x" represents some arbitrary
|
|
* bits, and "y" represents some arbitrary non-zero bits:
|
|
* 0: 00x: 0 pending of size 2^k; x pending of sizes < 2^k
|
|
* 1: 01x: 0 pending of size 2^k; 2^(k-1) + x pending of sizes < 2^k
|
|
* 2: x10x: 0 pending of size 2^k; 2^k + x pending of sizes < 2^k
|
|
* 3: x11x: 1 pending of size 2^k; 2^(k-1) + x pending of sizes < 2^k
|
|
* 4: y00x: 1 pending of size 2^k; 2^k + x pending of sizes < 2^k
|
|
* 5: y01x: 2 pending of size 2^k; 2^(k-1) + x pending of sizes < 2^k
|
|
* (merge and loop back to state 2)
|
|
*
|
|
* We gain lists of size 2^k in the 2->3 and 4->5 transitions (because
|
|
* bit k-1 is set while the more significant bits are non-zero) and
|
|
* merge them away in the 5->2 transition. Note in particular that just
|
|
* before the 5->2 transition, all lower-order bits are 11 (state 3),
|
|
* so there is one list of each smaller size.
|
|
*
|
|
* When we reach the end of the input, we merge all the pending
|
|
* lists, from smallest to largest. If you work through cases 2 to
|
|
* 5 above, you can see that the number of elements we merge with a list
|
|
* of size 2^k varies from 2^(k-1) (cases 3 and 5 when x == 0) to
|
|
* 2^(k+1) - 1 (second merge of case 5 when x == 2^(k-1) - 1).
