    net: sched: cake: Optimize the number of function calls and branches in heap construction · d034d02d
    Kuan-Wei Chiu authored
    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).
