[PATCH RFC] ALSA: control: Use xarray for faster lookups

Thu Oct 28 15:00:27 CEST 2021
The control elements are managed in a single linked list and we
traverse the whole list for matching each numid or ctl id per every
inquiry of a control element. This is OK-ish for a small number of
elements but obviously it doesn't scale. Especially the matching with
the ctl id takes time because it checks each field of the snd_ctl_id
element, e.g. the name string is matched with strcmp().
This patch adds the hash tables with Xarray in addition to the linked
list for improving the lookup speed of a control element. There are
two xarray tables added to the card; one for numid and another for ctl
id. For the numid, we use the numid as the index, while for the ctl
id, we calculate a hash key.
The lookup is done via a single xa_load(). When nothing hits, we look
through the full list entries as a fallback. So, the inquiry for a
non-existing element would take (even slightly longer) time with this
patch.

This is not really meant to be merged now, but just shown as a
reference implementation, as the issue doesn't surface unless you have
a large number of elements and query the late element frequently. In
my test, 1,000,000 queries of the 1000th element took over 12 seconds,
while the patched kernel took 0.2 second. But for the most cases (at
most 20 or 30 elements), it doesn't matter much.
