The current design of cgroup_rstat_cpu_pop_updated() is to traverse the updated tree in a way to pop out the leaf nodes first before their parents. This can cause traversal of multiple nodes before a leaf node can be found and popped out. IOW, a given node in the tree can be visited multiple times before the whole operation is done. So it is not very efficient and the code can be hard to read. With the introduction of cgroup_rstat_updated_list() to build a list of cgroups to be flushed first before any flushing operation is being done, we can optimize the way the updated tree nodes are being popped by pushing the parents first to the tail end of the list before their children. In this way, most updated tree nodes will be visited only once with the exception of the subtree root as we still need to go back to its parent and popped it out of its updated_children list. This also makes the code easier to read. Signed-off-by: Waiman Long <longman@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
