kovan_map/hashmap.rs
1//! High-Performance Lock-Free Concurrent Hash Map (FoldHash + resizable table).
2//!
3//! # Strategy
4//!
5//! 1. **FoldHash**: `foldhash::fast::FixedState` for fast, quality hashing.
6//! 2. **Resizable bucket table**: the bucket array lives in a single
7//! allocation (header + inline buckets) swapped atomically on resize and
8//! reclaimed through kovan. The map grows when the load factor exceeds
9//! 3/4 and shrinks below 1/4 (never under its initial capacity), the
10//! same thresholds as `HopscotchMap`.
11//! 3. **Node layout**: `hash` and `next` side by side, so a walk passing a
12//! node reads one cache line of it.
13//!
14//! # Architecture
15//! - **Table**: kovan-retired object holding the bucket array (atomic head
16//! pointers) and its entry count. Readers snapshot the table under a guard
17//! and never block.
18//! - **Chains**: singly linked, lock-free. Every change of the map's content
19//! is one CAS on one link word (`node`): an insert links a new node at the
20//! tail, a remove marks the node's own `next`, a replace marks it naming
21//! the new node, which names the old successor. That CAS is the
22//! operation's linearization point, and the answer the operation gives is
23//! exact: `insert_if_absent` answers `None` exactly when its CAS linked
24//! the key's node, and otherwise the value of the node it found live.
25//! - **Reclamation**: a node is retired only by the thread whose CAS unlinked
26//! it, never while a table can reach it, and a walk steps past a deleted
27//! node only after checking the link it came through still names it
28//! (`walk`), so every node a walk reads is protected by its guard.
29//! - **Resize**: a single resizer (latch `resizing`) freezes every link of
30//! the old table in chain order while it copies the live nodes, then
31//! publishes the new table and retires the old one (`resize`). A write
32//! whose CAS landed is final; a write that meets a frozen link waits for
33//! the new table and writes there.
34//!
35//! The protocol is modelled in `tla/chained/ChainedMap.tla` and checked by TLC
36//! with every rule 0.1.20 had put back one at a time (`tla/README.md`).
