Drop the heap-related macros from bcache and replacing them with the generic min_heap implementation from include/linux. By doing so, code readability is improved by using functions instead of macros. Moreover, the min_heap implementation in include/linux adopts a bottom-up variation compared to the textbook version currently used in bcache. This bottom-up variation allows for approximately 50% reduction in the number of comparison operations during heap siftdown, without changing the number of swaps, thus making it more efficient.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
