[PATCH v4 0/2] Improve the performance of bitmap_find_next_zero_area_off()
From: Yi Sun
Date: Mon Jun 01 2026 - 05:44:31 EST
Test code has been added to PATCH v2.
No new APIs were introduced.
Testing with the test code showed a performance improvement
of approximately 70%.
Test result(random):
orig_ns orig_cnt orig_average new_ns new_cnt new_average ratio
test1 1388885 1154 1203 462923 1308 353 70.7%
test2 1393616 1324 1052 736193 1212 607 42.3%
test3 1391693 1216 1144 735808 1260 583 49%
test4 1393231 1275 1092 742731 1402 529 51.6%
test5 1390731 1260 1103 737231 1274 578 47.6%
Test result(sparse):
orig_ns orig_cnt orig_average new_ns new_cnt new_average ratio
test1 4496077 322477 13 2419462 322480 7 46.2%
test2 7514731 322482 23 5785808 322476 17 26.1%
test3 7490692 322493 23 7654423 322483 23 0%
test4 7474500 322469 23 7628230 322483 23 0%
test5 7452692 322481 23 7663116 322478 23 0%
Test result explanation:
Test both random and sparse five times.
@orig_ns/cnt: Original version results.
@new_ns/cnt: Optimized test results.
@orig_average = orig_ns / orig_cnt
@new_average = new_ns / new_cnt
@ratio = (orig_average - new_average) / orig_average
The test results show that the optimized version
improved performance in almost every test.
