Subject: [PATCH net-next v2] net: sched: cake: Optimize the number of function calls and branches in heap construction
Date: Tue,  9 Apr 2024 01:47:16 +0800

When constructing a heap, heapify operations are required on all
non-leaf nodes. Thus, determining the index of the first non-leaf node
is crucial. In a heap, the left child's index of node i is 2 * i + 1
and the right child's index is 2 * i + 2. Node CAKE_MAX_TINS *
CAKE_QUEUES / 2 has its left and right children at indexes
CAKE_MAX_TINS * CAKE_QUEUES + 1 and CAKE_MAX_TINS * CAKE_QUEUES + 2,
respectively, which are beyond the heap's range, indicating it as a
leaf node. Conversely, node CAKE_MAX_TINS * CAKE_QUEUES / 2 - 1 has a
left child at index CAKE_MAX_TINS * CAKE_QUEUES - 1, confirming its
non-leaf status. The loop should start from it since it's not a leaf
node.

By starting the loop from CAKE_MAX_TINS * CAKE_QUEUES / 2 - 1, we
minimize function calls and branch condition evaluations. This
adjustment theoretically reduces two function calls (one for
cake_heapify() and another for cake_heap_get_backlog()) and five branch
evaluations (one for iterating all non-leaf nodes, one within
cake_heapify()'s while loop, and three more within the while loop
with if conditions).
