This change includes the following improvements:
- Remove the hpa_sec_batch_fill_extra parameter.
- Refactor the hpa_alloc() code and helper functions to be able to
allocate more than one extent out of a single pageslab. This way
we can amortize the per-pageslab costs (active bitmap iteration,
pageslab metadata updates) across multiple extents.
- Decide on a min and max number of extents that will be allocated
in hpa_alloc(). The code will try to allocate at least the min
and allocate up to the max as long as we can allocate additional
ones from the pageslab we already have, as additional allocations
are relatively cheap.
- Add extent allocation distribution stats.
- Amend hpa_sec_integration.c unit test.
The pai_t interface implements C-style polymorphism via function pointers
to abstract over PAC and HPA. This abstraction provides no real benefit:
only two implementations exist, the dispatcher already knows which one to
use, and HPA stubs 2 of 5 operations. Remove the runtime dispatch in
favor of direct calls.
This commit:
- Promotes pac_alloc/expand/shrink/dalloc/time_until_deferred_work to
external linkage and replaces the pai_t *self parameter with pac_t *pac.
- Promotes hpa_alloc/expand/shrink/dalloc/time_until_deferred_work to
external linkage and replaces pai_t *self with hpa_shard_t *shard.
- Updates hpa_dalloc_batch's signature to take hpa_shard_t * directly
and removes the hpa_from_pai container-of helper. Updates internal
callers in hpa_alloc, hpa_dalloc, and hpa_sec_flush_impl.
- Drops the vtable assignments from pac_init() and hpa_shard_init().
- Replaces pai_alloc/dalloc/etc. dispatch in pa.c with direct calls.
HPA expand and shrink (which are unconditional failure stubs) are
skipped entirely for HPA-owned extents.
- Removes the pa_get_pai() helper.
- Updates tests in test/unit/hpa.c and test/unit/hpa_sec_integration.c
to call hpa_alloc/dalloc/etc. directly.
The pai_t struct field stays as dead weight in pac_t and hpa_shard_t;
it is removed in the next commit along with pai.h itself.
No behavioral changes.
