The goal of `qr_meld()` is to change the following four fields
`(a->prev, a->prev->next, b->prev, b->prev->next)` from the values
`(a->prev, a, b->prev, b)` to `(b->prev, b, a->prev, a)`.
This commit changes
```
a->prev->next = b;
b->prev->next = a;
temp = a->prev;
a->prev = b->prev;
b->prev = temp;
```
to
```
temp = a->prev;
a->prev = b->prev;
b->prev = temp;
a->prev->next = a;
b->prev->next = b;
```
The benefit is that we can use `b->prev->next` for `temp`, and so
there's no need to pass in `a_type`.
The restriction is that `b` cannot be a `qr_next()` macro, so users
of `qr_meld()` must pay attention. (Before this change, neither `a`
nor `b` could be a `qr_next()` macro.)
Previously, large allocations in tcaches would have their sizes reduced during
stats estimation. Added a test, which fails before this change but passes now.
This fixes a bug introduced in 5934846612, which
was itself fixing a bug introduced in 9c0549007d.
This lets us put more allocations on an "almost as fast" path after a flush.
This results in around a 4% reduction in malloc cycles in prod workloads
(corresponding to about a 0.1% reduction in overall cycles).
Previously, we took an array of cache_bin_info_ts and an index, and dereferenced
ourselves. But infos for other cache_bins aren't relevant to any particular
cache bin, so that should be the caller's job.
This is debug only and we keep it off the fast path. Moving it here simplifies
the internal logic.
This never tries to junk on regions that were shrunk via xallocx. I think this
is fine for two reasons:
- The shrunk-with-xallocx case is rare.
- We don't always do that anyway before this diff (it depends on the opt
settings and extent hooks in effect).
Make the event module to accept two event types, and pass around the event
context. Use bytes-based events to trigger tcache GC on deallocation, and get
rid of the tcache ticker.
Add options stats_interval and stats_interval_opts to allow interval based stats
printing. This provides an easy way to collect stats without code changes,
because opt.stats_print may not work (some binaries never exit).
This will eventually completely wrap the eset, and handle concurrency,
allocation, and deallocation. For now, we only pull out the mutex from the
eset.
