105 * list_sort - sort a list
106 * @priv: private data, opaque to list_sort(), passed to @cmp

108 * @cmp: the elements comparison function

043b3f7b
GS
110 * The comparison funtion @cmp must return > 0 if @a should sort after
111 * @b ("@a > @b" if you want an ascending sort), and <= 0 if @a should
112 * sort before @b *or* their original order should be preserved. It is
113 * always called with the element that came first in the input in @a,
114 * and list_sort is a stable sort, so it is not necessary to distinguish
115 * the @a < @b and @a == @b cases.
2c761270 116 *
043b3f7b
GS
117 * This is compatible with two styles of @cmp function:
118 * - The traditional style which returns <0 / =0 / >0, or
119 * - Returning a boolean 0/1.
120 * The latter offers a chance to save a few cycles in the comparison
121 * (which is used by e.g. plug_ctx_cmp() in block/blk-mq.c).

131 *
132 * This mergesort is as eager as possible while always performing at least
133 * 2:1 balanced merges. Given two pending sublists of size 2^k, they are
134 * merged to a size-2^(k+1) list as soon as we have 2^k following elements.
135 *
136 * Thus, it will avoid cache thrashing as long as 3*2^k elements can
137 * fit into the cache. Not quite as good as a fully-eager bottom-up
138 * mergesort, but it does use 0.2*n fewer comparisons, so is faster in
139 * the common case that everything fits into L1.
140 *
141 *
142 * The merging is controlled by "count", the number of elements in the
143 * pending lists. This is beautiully simple code, but rather subtle.
144 *
145 * Each time we increment "count", we set one bit (bit k) and clear
146 * bits k-1 .. 0. Each time this happens (except the very first time
147 * for each bit, when count increments to 2^k), we merge two lists of
148 * size 2^k into one list of size 2^(k+1).
149 *
150 * This merge happens exactly when the count reaches an odd multiple of
151 * 2^k, which is when we have 2^k elements pending in smaller lists,
152 * so it's safe to merge away two lists of size 2^k.
153 *
154 * After this happens twice, we have created two lists of size 2^(k+1),
155 * which will be merged into a list of size 2^(k+2) before we create
156 * a third list of size 2^(k+1), so there are never more than two pending.
157 *
158 * The number of pending lists of size 2^k is determined by the
159 * state of bit k of "count" plus two extra pieces of information:
4ae5b8f2 160 *
b5c56e0c
GS
161 * - The state of bit k-1 (when k == 0, consider bit -1 always set), and
162 * - Whether the higher-order bits are zero or non-zero (i.e.
163 * is count >= 2^(k+1)).
4ae5b8f2 164 *
b5c56e0c
GS
165 * There are six states we distinguish. "x" represents some arbitrary
166 * bits, and "y" represents some arbitrary non-zero bits:
167 * 0: 00x: 0 pending of size 2^k; x pending of sizes < 2^k
168 * 1: 01x: 0 pending of size 2^k; 2^(k-1) + x pending of sizes < 2^k
169 * 2: x10x: 0 pending of size 2^k; 2^k + x pending of sizes < 2^k
170 * 3: x11x: 1 pending of size 2^k; 2^(k-1) + x pending of sizes < 2^k
171 * 4: y00x: 1 pending of size 2^k; 2^k + x pending of sizes < 2^k
172 * 5: y01x: 2 pending of size 2^k; 2^(k-1) + x pending of sizes < 2^k
173 * (merge and loop back to state 2)
174 *
175 * We gain lists of size 2^k in the 2->3 and 4->5 transitions (because
176 * bit k-1 is set while the more significant bits are non-zero) and
177 * merge them away in the 5->2 transition. Note in particular that just
178 * before the 5->2 transition, all lower-order bits are 11 (state 3),
179 * so there is one list of each smaller size.
180 *
181 * When we reach the end of the input, we merge all the pending
182 * lists, from smallest to largest. If you work through cases 2 to
183 * 5 above, you can see that the number of elements we merge with a list
184 * of size 2^k varies from 2^(k-1) (cases 3 and 5 when x == 0) to
185 * 2^(k+1) - 1 (second merge of case 5 when x == 2^(k-1) - 1).
