onos-0003: DeviceManager RoleInfo.backups() ImmutableList.contains() — O(n) per role event

Status

PATCHED

Target

opennetworkinglab/onos

File

core/api/src/main/java/org/onosproject/cluster/RoleInfo.java core/net/src/main/java/org/onosproject/net/device/impl/DeviceManager.java

Symptom

On every mastership role change event, DeviceManager checks whether localNodeId is in the backup list using List.contains() on an ImmutableList. With C ONOS cluster nodes, the backup list has up to C-1 entries. In large clusters (1050 nodes) this is O(C) per device event. With D managed devices, each failover triggers D events — O(D×C) total.

Root cause

// RoleInfo.java:32,36
private final List<NodeId> backups;
this.backups = ImmutableList.copyOf(backups);   // O(n) contains

// DeviceManager.java:1159
} else if (event.roleInfo().backups().contains(localNodeId)) {

backups() returns ImmutableList<NodeId> — linear scan backed by an array.

Fix

Change backups to ImmutableSet<NodeId>. Order of backup list is not meaningful for membership tests; ImmutableSet.contains() is O(1) hash lookup.

Complexity
