When creating new binder references, the driver assigns a descriptor id that is shared with userspace. Regrettably, the driver needs to keep the descriptors small enough to accommodate userspace potentially using them as Vector indexes. Currently, the driver performs a linear search on the rb-tree of references to find the smallest available descriptor id. This approach, however, scales poorly as the number of references grows. This patch introduces the usage of bitmaps to boost the performance of descriptor assignments. This optimization results in notable performance gains, particularly in processes with a large number of references. The following benchmark with 100,000 references showcases the difference in latency between the dbitmap implementation and the legacy approach: [ 587.145098] get_ref_desc_olocked: 15us (dbitmap on) [ 602.788623] get_ref_desc_olocked: 47343us (dbitmap off) Note the bitmap size is dynamically adjusted in line with the number of references, ensuring efficient memory usage. In cases where growing the bitmap is not possible, the driver falls back to the slow legacy method. A previous attempt to solve this issue was proposed in [1]. However, such method involved adding new ioctls which isn't great, plus older userspace code would not have benefited from the optimizations either.
