Revert "bcache: update min_heap_callbacks to use default builtin swap"
Patch series "bcache: Revert min_heap migration due to performance regression". This patch series reverts the migration of bcache from its original heap implementation to the generic min_heap library. While the original change aimed to simplify the code and improve maintainability, it introduced a severe performance regression in real-world scenarios. As reported by Robert, systems using bcache now suffer from periodic latency spikes, with P100 (max) latency increasing from 600 ms to 2.4 seconds every 5 minutes. This degrades bcache's value as a low-latency caching layer, and leads to frequent timeouts and application stalls in production environments. The primary cause of this regression is the behavior of the generic min_heap implementation's bottom-up sift_down, which performs up to 2 * log2(n) comparisons when many elements are equal. The original top-down variant used by bcache only required O(1) comparisons in such cases. The issue was further exacerbated by commit 92a8b224b833 ("lib/min_heap: introduce non-inline versions of min heap API functions"), which introduced non-inlined versions of the min_heap API, adding function call overhead to a performance-critical hot path. This patch (of 3): This reverts commit 3d8a9a1c35227c3f1b0bd132c9f0a80dbda07b65. Although removing the custom swap function simplified the code, this change is part of a broader migration to the generic min_heap API that introduced significant performance regressions in bcache. As reported by Robert, bcache now suffers from latency spikes, with P100 (max) latency increasing from 600 ms to 2.4 seconds every 5 minutes. These regressions degrade bcache's effectiveness as a low-latency cache layer and lead to frequent timeouts and application stalls in production environments. This revert is part of a series of changes to restore previous performance by undoing the min_heap transition.
