[v1 PATCH 0/7] rhashtable: Introduce inlined interface

[v1 PATCH 0/7] rhashtable: Introduce inlined interface

[Herbert Xu]

Hi:

This series of patches introduces the inlined rhashtable interface.

The idea is to make all the function pointers visible to the compiler
by providing the rhashtable_params structure explicitly to each
inline rhashtable function.  For example, instead of doing

	obj = rhashtable_lookup(ht, key);

you would now do

	obj = rhashtable_lookup_fast(ht, key, params);

Where params is the same data that you would give to rhashtable_init.
In particular, within rhashtable.c itself we would simply supply
ht->p.

So to convert users over, you simply have to make params globally
accessible, e.g., by placing it in a static const variable, which
can then be used at each inlined call site, as well as by the
rhashtable_init call.

The only ticky bit is that some users (i.e., netfilter) has a
dynamic key length.  This is dealt with by using params.key_len
in the inline functions when it is non-zero, and otherwise falling
back on ht->p.key_len.

Note that I've only tested this on one compiler, gcc 4.7.2.  So
please test this with your compilers as well and make sure that
the code is actually inlined without indirect function calls.

Cheers,

[v1 PATCH 1/7] rhashtable: Make rhashtable_init params argument const

[Herbert Xu]

This patch marks the rhashtable_init params argument const as
there is no reason to modify it since we will always make a copy
of it in the rhashtable.

This patch also fixes a bug where we don't actually round up the
value of min_size unless it is less than HASH_MIN_SIZE.

[v1 PATCH 2/7] rhashtable: Allow hash/comparison functions to be inlined

[Herbert Xu]

This patch deals with the complaint that we make indirect function
calls on the fast paths unnecessarily in rhashtable.  We resolve
it by moving the fast paths into inline functions that take struct
rhashtable_param (which obviously must be the same set of parameters
supplied to rhashtable_init) as an argument.

The only remaining indirect call is to obj_hashfn (or key_hashfn it
obj_hashfn is unset) on the rehash as well as the insert-during-
rehash slow path.

This patch also extends the support of vairable-length keys to
include those where the key is fixed but scattered in the object.
For example, in netlink we want to key off the namespace and the
portid but they're not next to each other.

This patch does this by directly using the object hash function
as the indicator of whether the key is accessible or not.  It
also adds a new function obj_cmpfn to compare a key against an
object.  This means that the caller no longer needs to supply
explicit compare functions.

All this is done in a backwards compatible manner so no existing
users are affected until they convert to the new interface.

[v1 PATCH 3/7] netlink: Move namespace into hash key

[Herbert Xu]

Currently the name space is a de facto key because it has to match
before we find an object in the hash table.  However, it isn't in
the hash value so all objects from different name spaces with the
same port ID hash to the same bucket.

This is bad as the number of name spaces is unbounded.

This patch fixes this by using the namespace when doing the hash.

Because the namespace field doesn't lie next to the portid field
in the netlink socket, this patch switches over to the rhashtable
interface without a fixed key.

This patch also uses the new inlined rhashtable interface where
possible.

[v1 PATCH 4/7] netfilter: Convert nft_hash to inlined rhashtable

[Herbert Xu]

This patch converts nft_hash to the inlined rhashtable interface.

This patch also replaces the call to rhashtable_lookup_compare with
a straight rhashtable_lookup_fast because it's simply doing a memcmp
(in fact nft_hash_lookup already uses memcmp instead of nft_data_cmp).

Furthermore, the compare function is only meant to compare, it is not
supposed to have side-effects.  The current side-effect code can
simply be moved into the nft_hash_get.

I haven't checked in detail yet whether this still satisfies what
we need in nftables, just a minor comment below:

I found it a bit odd in the old interface that elementary data
such as the key for comparision is encapsulated into a structure
instead of passed as a function argument. Is there a reason
for not passing both as arguments so we can at least avoid the
encapsulation for the common case?

AFAIK I have done nothing to break multiple keys as yet and

I don't have any objections against changing it but it could
be done outside of this particular patch-set.

Yep, seems fine on a quick skim, but it will take until tonight before
I can have a closer look.

Series applied, thanks Herbert.

Why do you need that trailer[] think in the new netlink code?
You only use it in an offsetof() expression and wouldn't sizeof
the structure work just fine for that?  This also makes the
memset() superfluous in the initializer function.

Any reason to keep the _fast() suffix if we only keep the inline
variants anyway?

Aha I was wating for someone to ask :) Without the trailer it
gets padded to 16 bytes on x86-64.  I found this out because
netlink was mysteriously failing due to the extra padding not
getting zeroed. Designated initializers do not zero padding bytes,
so you'd need an explicit memset.  Besides, hashing another
four bytes with jhash that always contained zero seemed wasteful.

Then "offsetof(struct netlink_compare_arg, portid) + sizeof(u32)"?

But that should be identical to the trailer offset, no? The whole
structure gets padded to 16 bytes, not the trailer (since it's only
a char[]).

Yep, but I'm saying this alternative expression allows to remove the
trailer which even made me say "what's this for?"

OK, this patch removes trailer.

netlink: Remove netlink_compare_arg.trailer

Instead of computing the offset from trailer, this patch computes
netlink_compare_arg_len from the offset of portid and then adds 4
to it.  This allows trailer to be removed.

Applied, thanks!
