Subject: [PATCH] fib_trie: Fix trie balancing issue if new node pushes down
existing node
This patch addresses an issue with the level compression of the fib_trie.
Specifically in the case of adding a new leaf that triggers a new node to
be added that takes the place of the old node. The result is a trie where
the 1 child tnode is on one side and one leaf is on the other which gives
you a very deep trie. Below is the script I used to generate a trie on
dummy0 with a 10.X.X.X family of addresses.
ip link add type dummy
ipval=184549374
bit=2
for i in `seq 1 23`
do
ifconfig dummy0:$bit $ipval/8
ipval=`expr $ipval - $bit`
bit=`expr $bit \* 2`
done
cat /proc/net/fib_triestat
Running the script before the patch:
Local:
Aver depth: 10.82
Max depth: 23
Leaves: 29
Prefixes: 30
Internal nodes: 27
1: 26 2: 1
Pointers: 56
Null ptrs: 1
Total size: 5 kB
After applying the patch and repeating:
Local:
Aver depth: 4.72
Max depth: 9
Leaves: 29
Prefixes: 30
Internal nodes: 12
1: 3 2: 2 3: 7
Pointers: 70
Null ptrs: 30
Total size: 4 kB
What this fix does is start the rebalance at the newly created tnode
instead of at the parent tnode. This way if there is a gap between the
parent and the new node it doesn't prevent the new tnode from being
coalesced with any pre-existing nodes that may have been pushed into one
of the new nodes child branches.
