[PATCH v2 0/3] Inline some hashtab functions to improve performance

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Right now, hashtab_search(), hashtab_insert(), and hashtab_map() are
defined in hashtab.c and need to call functions indirectly by function
pointers. It turns out that defining (the relevent parts of) these
functions inline in the header and passing the function pointers as
arguments makes them significantly faster (verified for hashtab_search()
at least).

The first patch is a minor refactoring of symtab usage in preparation
for the next patch. The second patch modifies the hashtab interface so
that callbacks are always passed directly. The last patch finishes the
job by moving some of the function definitions to the header.

The last two patches could be also just one patch, but are kept separate
for easier review of changes in the functions that are being moved
around.

For more details, please refer to the respective patch descriptions.

Changes in v2:
 - drop already applied v1 patches 1 and 2
 - reword patch descriptions to better explain what is going on and why
 - split out some of the symtab changes into a separate patch
 - tweak the signature and argument names of symtab_insert()

Ondrej Mosnacek (3):
  selinux: specialize symtab insert and search functions
  selinux: prepare for inlining of hashtab functions
  selinux: complete the inlining of hashtab functions
