From ba591801a3df861b3b327f6122b9de4ef213aae6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Long Li Date: Tue, 16 Apr 2024 14:16:28 +0800 Subject: xarray: inline xas_descend to improve performance The commit 63b1898fffcd ("XArray: Disallow sibling entries of nodes") modified the xas_descend function in such a way that it was no longer being compiled as an inline function, because it increased the size of xas_descend(), and the compiler no longer optimizes it as inline. This had a negative impact on performance, xas_descend is called frequently to traverse downwards in the xarray tree, making it a hot function. Inlining xas_descend has been shown to significantly improve performance by approximately 4.95% in the iozone write test.

While this change increases the size of lib/xarray.o, the performance gains in critical workloads make this an acceptable trade-off.
