[RFC bpf-next 12/16] bpf: Move synchronize_rcu_mult for batch processing (NOT TO BE MERGED)

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I noticed some of the profiled workloads did not spend more cycles,
but took more time to finish than current code. I tracked it to rcu
synchronize_rcu_mult call in bpf_trampoline_update and when I called
it just once for batch mode it got faster.

The current processing when attaching the program is:

  for each program:
    bpf(BPF_RAW_TRACEPOINT_OPEN
      bpf_tracing_prog_attach
        bpf_trampoline_link_prog
          bpf_trampoline_update
            synchronize_rcu_mult
            register_ftrace_direct

With the change the synchronize_rcu_mult is called just once:

  bpf(BPF_TRAMPOLINE_BATCH_ATTACH
    for each program:
      bpf_tracing_prog_attach
        bpf_trampoline_link_prog
          bpf_trampoline_update

    synchronize_rcu_mult
    register_ftrace_direct_ips

I'm not sure this does not break stuff, because I don't follow rcu
code that much ;-) However stats are nicer now:

Before:

 Performance counter stats for './test_progs -t attach_test' (5 runs):

        37,410,887      cycles:k             ( +-  0.98% )
        70,062,158      cycles:u             ( +-  0.39% )

             26.80 +- 4.10 seconds time elapsed  ( +- 15.31% )

After:

 Performance counter stats for './test_progs -t attach_test' (5 runs):

        36,812,432      cycles:k             ( +-  2.52% )
        69,907,191      cycles:u             ( +-  0.38% )

             15.04 +- 2.94 seconds time elapsed  ( +- 19.54% )
