[PATCH v2 09/19] maple_tree: Optimise mas_wr_node_store() when not in rcu mode
From: Liam R. Howlett (Oracle)
Date: Tue Jun 30 2026 - 15:11:36 EST
Clearing the entire node on the stack is unnecessary since most of the
node will be overwritten anyways. Just clear what isn't used after the
data is in place.
Benchmarking shows a speedup of 0.67% on a height 4 tree with 2048
entries.
