Thus, the # internal node was retained. At slot 1, the node had one leaf, and was # able to be folded in successfully. The remaining nodes had no leaves, # and so were removed. By the end of the compression stage, there were 14 # free slots, and only 3 leaf nodes. The tree was ascended and then its # parent node was compressed. When this node was seen, it could not be # folded, due to the internal node it contained. # # The invariant for compression in this function is: whenever # nr_leaves_on_branch < ASSOC_ARRAY_FAN_OUT, the node should contain all # leaf nodes. The compression step currently cannot guarantee this, given # the corner case shown above. # # To fix this issue, retry compression whenever we have retained a node, # and yet nr_leaves_on_branch < ASSOC_ARRAY_FAN_OUT. This second # compression will then allow the node in slot 1 to be folded in, # satisfying the invariant. Below is the output of the reproducer once the # fix is applied: # # -- compress node 0x560e9c562380 -- # free=0, leaves=0 # [0] retain node 2/1 [nx 0] # [1] fold node 1/1 [nx 0] # [2] fold node 0/1 [nx 2] # [3] fold node 0/2 [nx 2] # [4] fold node 0/3 [nx 2] # [5] fold node 0/4 [nx 2] # [6] fold node 0/5 [nx 2] # [7] fold node 0/6 [nx 2] # [8] fold node 0/7 [nx 2] # [9] fold node 0/8 [nx 2] # [10] fold node 0/9 [nx 2] # [11] fold node 0/10 [nx 2] # [12] fold node 0/11 [nx 2] # [13] fold node 0/12 [nx 2] # [14] fold node 0/13 [nx 2] # [15] fold node 0/14 [nx 2] # internal nodes remain despite enough space, retrying # -- compress node 0x560e9c562380 -- # free=14, leaves=1 # [0] fold node 2/15 [nx 0] # after: 3 # # Changes # ======= # DH: # - Use false instead of 0. # - Reorder the inserted lines in a couple of places to put retained before # next_slot. # # ver #2) # - Fix typo in pr_devel, correct comparison to "<=" # # Fixes: 3cb989501c26 ("Add a generic associative array implementation.") # Cc: # Signed-off-by: Stephen Brennan # Signed-off-by: David Howells # cc: Andrew Morton # cc: keyrings@vger.kernel.org # Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20220511225517.407935-1-stephen.s.brennan@oracle.com/ # v1 # Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20220512215045.489140-1-stephen.s.brennan@oracle.com/ # v2 # Reviewed-by: Jarkko Sakkinen # Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds # < /opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-11.1.0-nolibc/aarch64-linux/bin/aarch64-linux-gcc --version # < /opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-11.1.0-nolibc/aarch64-linux/bin/aarch64-linux-ld --version # < git log --format=%s --max-count=1 d1dc87763f406d4e67caf16dbe438a5647692395 # < make -s -j 24 ARCH=arm64 O=/kisskb/build/linus_arm64-defconfig_arm64-gcc11 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-11.1.0-nolibc/aarch64-linux/bin/aarch64-linux- defconfig # < make -s -j 24 ARCH=arm64 O=/kisskb/build/linus_arm64-defconfig_arm64-gcc11 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-11.1.0-nolibc/aarch64-linux/bin/aarch64-linux- help # make -s -j 24 ARCH=arm64 O=/kisskb/build/linus_arm64-defconfig_arm64-gcc11 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-11.1.0-nolibc/aarch64-linux/bin/aarch64-linux- olddefconfig # make -s -j 24 ARCH=arm64 O=/kisskb/build/linus_arm64-defconfig_arm64-gcc11 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-11.1.0-nolibc/aarch64-linux/bin/aarch64-linux- Completed OK # rm -rf /kisskb/build/linus_arm64-defconfig_arm64-gcc11 # Build took: 0:09:53.041619
