Why don't you use the min() and max() macros which will make it easier
to read?
Changed.

How about
#define IPCMNI_EXTEND_MIN_CYCLE (RADIX_TREE_MAP_SIZE *
RADIX_TREE_MAP_SIZE)
Good idea.
Actually, "2<<12" was the initial guess.
And then I noticed that this ends up as a two level radix tree during
testing :-)
Updated patch attached.

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] ipc: Do cyclic id allocation for the ipc object.
For ipcmni_extend mode, the sequence number space is only 7 bits. So
the chance of id reuse is relatively high compared with the non-extended
mode.
To alleviate this id reuse problem, this patch enables cyclic allocation
for the index to the radix tree (idx).
The disadvantage is that this can cause a slight slow-down of the fast
path, as the radix tree could be higher than necessary.
To limit the radix tree height, I have chosen the following limits:
- 1) The cycling is done over in_use*1.5.
- 2) At least, the cycling is done over
"normal" ipcnmi mode: RADIX_TREE_MAP_SIZE elements
"ipcmni_extended": 4096 elements
Result:
- for normal mode:
No change for <= 42 active ipc elements. With more than 42
active ipc elements, a 2nd level would be added to the radix
tree.
Without cyclic allocation, a 2nd level would be added only with
more than 63 active elements.
- for extended mode:
Cycling creates always at least a 2-level radix tree.
With more than 2730 active objects, a 3rd level would be
added, instead of > 4095 active objects until the 3rd level
is added without cyclic allocation.
For a 2-level radix tree compared to a 1-level radix tree, I have
observed < 1% performance impact.
Notes:
1) Normal "x=semget();y=semget();" is unaffected: Then the idx
is e.g. a and a+1, regardless if idr_alloc() or idr_alloc_cyclic()
is used.
2) The -1% happens in a microbenchmark after this situation:
x=semget();
for(i=0;i<4000;i++) {t=semget();semctl(t,0,IPC_RMID);}
y=semget();
Now perform semget calls on x and y that do not sleep.
3) The worst-case reuse cycle time is unfortunately unaffected:
If you have 2^24-1 ipc objects allocated, and get/remove the last
possible element in a loop, then the id is reused after 128
get/remove pairs.
Performance check:
A microbenchmark that performes no-op semop() randomly on two IDs,
with only these two IDs allocated.
The IDs were set using /proc/sys/kernel/sem_next_id.
The test was run 5 times, averages are shown.
1 & 2: Base (6.22 seconds for 10.000.000 semops)
1 & 40: -0.2%
1 & 3348: - 0.8%
1 & 27348: - 1.6%
1 & 15777204: - 3.2%
Or: ~12.6 cpu cycles per additional radix tree level.
The cpu is an Intel I3-5010U. ~1300 cpu cycles/syscall is slower
than what I remember (spectre impact?).
V2 of the patch:
- use "min" and "max"
- use RADIX_TREE_MAP_SIZE * RADIX_TREE_MAP_SIZE instead of
(2<<12).
