In order to support rebalancing and spanning stores using less than the
worst case number of nodes, we need to track more than just the vacant
height. Using only vacant height to reduce the worst case maple node
allocation count can lead to a shortcoming of nodes in the following
scenarios.
For rebalancing writes, when a leaf node becomes insufficient, it may be
combined with a sibling into a single node. This means that the parent node
which has entries for this children will lose one entry. If this parent node
was just meeting the minimum entries, losing one entry will now cause this
parent node to be insufficient. This leads to a cascading operation of
rebalancing at different levels and can lead to more node allocations than
simply using vacant height can return.
For spanning writes, a similar situation occurs. At the location at
which a spanning write is detected, the number of ancestor nodes may
similarly need to rebalanced into a smaller number of nodes and the same
cascading situation could occur.
To use less than the full height of the tree for the number of
allocations, we also need to track the height at which a non-leaf node
cannot become insufficient. This means even if a rebalance occurs to a
child of this node, it currently has enough entries that it can lose one
without any further action. This field is stored in the maple write state
as sufficient height. In mas_prealloc_calc() when figuring out how many
nodes to allocate, we check if the the vacant node is lower in the tree
than a sufficient node (has a larger value). If it is, we cannot use the
vacant height and must use the difference in the height and sufficient
height as the basis for the number of nodes needed.
