Subject: [PATCH] Priority heap infrastructure enhancements
This patch enhances the priority heap infrastructure to add a delete_max
routine. This patch and routines are helpful as
1. They allow me to delete nodes from the prio_heap (max heap), which is
currently missing
2. This infrastructure would be useful for the soft limit patches I am working
on for the memory controller
Some of the common code has been factored into heap_adjust() a.k.a heapify
in data structures terminology.
I am sending out this patch indepedent of the memory controller changes as
they deserve to be reviewed independently.
One limitation of the current heap_insert() routine is that it does not
insert an element which is greater than the root, when the heap slots
are fully used. I'll work on and review that interface and find a suitable
way to address that issue
I've tested them by porting the code to user space (very easy to do) and
I wrote a simple test routine, that ensures that elements are removed
from the heap in descending order.
Comments, Flames? Please do review closely!
