Red-black tree abstraction needed by Rust Binder
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
This patchset contains the red-black tree abstractions needed by the Rust
implementation of the Binder driver.

Binder driver benefits from O(log n) search/insertion/deletion of
key/value mappings in various places, including `process.rs` and
`range_alloc.rs`.  In `range_alloc.rs`, the ability to store and
search by a generic key type is also useful.

Please see the Rust Binder RFC for usage examples [1]. Note that
the `container_of` macro is currently used only by `rbtree` itself.

    Not used in the original RFC, but introduced after further
    code review.  See: https://r.android.com/2849906

The Rust Binder RFC addresses the upstream deprecation of red-black
tree. Quoted here for convenience:

"This RFC uses the kernel's red-black tree for key/value mappings, but we
are aware that the red-black tree is deprecated. We did this to make the
performance comparison more fair, since C binder also uses rbtree for
this. We intend to replace these with XArrays instead. That said, we
don't think that XArray is a good fit for the range allocator, and we
propose to continue using the red-black tree for the range allocator."

Changes in v9:
- EDITME: describe what is new in this series revision.
- EDITME: use bulletpoints and terse descriptions.
- Link to v8: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[email protected]

Changes in v8:
- Fix small style nit (use ? operator)
- Fix doc comment pointing at a private item
- Link to v7: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[email protected]

Changes in v7:
- make `RawVacantEntry.rbtree` a raw pointer like
  `RawVacantEntry.child_field_of_parent`, since the latter can
  technically point at a field of the former. We prefer that the
  implementation be explicit about the safety guarantees of both because
  of the relationship between them.
- Link to v6: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[email protected]

Changes in v6:
- Minimize usage of `*mut bindings::rb_node`, replacing with
  `NonNull<bindings::rb_node>`. Specifically, changing
  `RBTreeCursor.current` to be `NonNull<bindings::rb_node>` and updating
  the corresponding functions.
- Update `RBTreeCursor:to_key_value` helpers to have their own lifetime
  (they are not instance methods, using a different lifetime than that
  of the `impl` block they are in makes things more clear.
- Fix misplaced semicolon in `cursor_lower_bound`.
- Link to v5: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[email protected]

Changes in v5:
- Used `Box::write` in `RBTreeNodeReservation::into_node`, removing
  unnecessary `unsafe` blocks.
- Updated `RBTreeCursor::remove_current` to return the removed node.
- Link to v4: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[email protected]

Changes in v4:
- rebased onto the tip of rust-for-linux/rust-next (97ab3e8)
- addressed comments from draft PR on GitHub: Rust-for-Linux#1081
- Link to v3: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[email protected]

Changes in v3:
- Address various feedback re: SAFETY and INVARIANT comments from v2.
- Update variable naming and add detailed comments for the `RBTree::insert` (later moved to
  `RBTree::raw_entry`) implementation.
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[email protected]

Changes in v2:
- Update documentation link to the C header file
- Use `core::convert::Infallible` in try_reserve_node
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[email protected]
