[PATCH v2] drivers/base/memory.c: cache blocks in radix tree to accelerate lookup

From: Scott Cheloha
Date: Thu Nov 21 2019 - 15:00:20 EST


Searching for a particular memory block by id is slow because each block
device is kept in an unsorted linked list on the subsystem bus.

Lookup is much faster if we cache the blocks in a radix tree. Memory
subsystem initialization and hotplug/hotunplug is at least a little faster
for any machine with more than ~100 blocks, and the speedup grows with
the block count.

v2 incorporates suggestions from David Hildenbrand.

Removing the get_device/put_device dance from walk_memory_blocks() can
be done in a subsequent patch.
