Jeff King	002f206faf	add generic most-recently-used list There are a few places in Git that would benefit from a fast most-recently-used cache (e.g., the list of packs, which we search linearly but would like to order based on locality). This patch introduces a generic list that can be used to store arbitrary pointers in most-recently-used order. The implementation is just a doubly-linked list, where "marking" an item as used moves it to the front of the list. Insertion and marking are O(1), and iteration is O(n). There's no lookup support provided; if you need fast lookups, you are better off with a different data structure in the first place. There is also no deletion support. This would not be hard to do, but it's not necessary for handling pack structs, which are created and never removed.

add generic most-recently-used list

There are a few places in Git that would benefit from a fast
most-recently-used cache (e.g., the list of packs, which we
search linearly but would like to order based on locality).
This patch introduces a generic list that can be used to
store arbitrary pointers in most-recently-used order.

The implementation is just a doubly-linked list, where
"marking" an item as used moves it to the front of the list.
Insertion and marking are O(1), and iteration is O(n).

There's no lookup support provided; if you need fast
lookups, you are better off with a different data structure
in the first place.

There is also no deletion support. This would not be hard to
do, but it's not necessary for handling pack structs, which
are created and never removed.
