Subject: [PATCH 5/7] xfs: speed up xfarray sort by sorting xfile page contents directly
Date: Thu, 27 Jul 2023 15:26:37 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <169049623643.921478.6377149280402650711.stgit@frogsfrogsfrogs> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <169049623563.921478.13811535720302490179.stgit@frogsfrogsfrogs>

From: Darrick J. Wong <djwong@kernel.org>

If all the records in an xfarray subset live within the same memory
page, we can short-circuit even more quicksort recursion by mapping that
page into the local CPU and using the kernel's heapsort function to sort
the subset.  On the author's computer, this reduces the runtime by
another 15% on a 500,000 element array.
