rb_first_cached() trades an extra pointer "leftmost" for doing the same job as rb_first() but in O(1). Functions manipulating href_root need to get the first entry, this converts href_root to use rb_first_cached(). This patch is first in the sequenct of similar updates to other rbtrees and this is analysis of the expected behaviour and improvements. There's a common pattern: while (node = rb_first) { entry = rb_entry(node) next = rb_next(node) rb_erase(node) cleanup(entry) } rb_first needs to traverse the tree up to logN depth, rb_erase can completely reshuffle the tree. With the caching we'll skip the traversal in rb_first. That's a cached memory access vs looped pointer dereference trade-off that IMHO has a clear winner. Measurements show there's not much difference in a sample tree with 10000 nodes: 4.5s / rb_first and 4.8s / rb_first_cached. Real effects of caching and pointer chasing are unpredictable though. Further optimzations can be done to avoid the expensive rb_erase step. In some cases it's ok to process the nodes in any order, so the tree can be traversed in post-order, not rebalancing the children nodes and just calling free. Care must be taken regarding the next node.
