In maple_big_node, we define slot and padding/gap in a union. And based on current definition of MAPLE_BIG_NODE_SLOTS/GAPS, padding is always less then slot and part of the gap is overlapped by slot. For example on 64bit system: MAPLE_BIG_NODE_SLOT is 34 MAPLE_BIG_NODE_GAP is 21 With this knowledge, current code actually clear the whole maple_big_node and even clear some space twice. Instead of clear maple_big_node each field separately, let's clear it in one memset. Signed-off-by: Wei Yang <richard.weiyang@xxxxxxxxx> CC: Liam R. Howlett <Liam.Howlett@xxxxxxxxxx> --- Liam: This looks obvious, so I just run the ./maple test to see it doesn't break anything. Do you think I need to add a benchmark and run a perf for this kind of change? --- lib/maple_tree.c | 5 +---- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/lib/maple_tree.c b/lib/maple_tree.c index d8f10773e451..911c5e04e634 100644 --- a/lib/maple_tree.c +++ b/lib/maple_tree.c @@ -3134,10 +3134,7 @@ static inline void mast_fill_bnode(struct maple_subtree_state *mast, bool cp = true; unsigned char split; - memset(mast->bn->gap, 0, sizeof(unsigned long) * ARRAY_SIZE(mast->bn->gap)); - memset(mast->bn->slot, 0, sizeof(unsigned long) * ARRAY_SIZE(mast->bn->slot)); - memset(mast->bn->pivot, 0, sizeof(unsigned long) * ARRAY_SIZE(mast->bn->pivot)); - mast->bn->b_end = 0; + memset(mast->bn, 0, sizeof(struct maple_big_node)); if (mte_is_root(mas->node)) { cp = false; -- 2.34.1
