Subject: lib/plist: add plist_requeue
From: Dan Streetman <ddstreet@xxxxxxxx>
commit a75f232ce0fe38bd01301899ecd97ffd0254316a upstream.
Add plist_requeue(), which moves the specified plist_node after all other
same-priority plist_nodes in the list. This is essentially an optimized
plist_del() followed by plist_add().
This is needed by swap, which (with the next patch in this set) uses a
plist of available swap devices. When a swap device (either a swap
partition or swap file) are added to the system with swapon(), the device
is added to a plist, ordered by the swap device's priority. When swap
needs to allocate a page from one of the swap devices, it takes the page
from the first swap device on the plist, which is the highest priority
swap device. The swap device is left in the plist until all its pages are
used, and then removed from the plist when it becomes full.
However, as described in man 2 swapon, swap must allocate pages from swap
devices with the same priority in round-robin order; to do this, on each
swap page allocation, swap uses a page from the first swap device in the
plist, and then calls plist_requeue() to move that swap device entry to
after any other same-priority swap devices. The next swap page allocation
will again use a page from the first swap device in the plist and requeue
it, and so on, resulting in round-robin usage of equal-priority swap
devices.
Also add plist_test_requeue() test function, for use by plist_test() to
test plist_requeue() function.
