[PATCH v5 bpf-next 15/15] bpf: Remove usage of kmem_cache from bpf_mem_cache.

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

 



From: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@xxxxxxxxxx>

For bpf_mem_cache based hash maps the following stress test:
for (i = 1; i <= 512; i <<= 1)
  for (j = 1; j <= 1 << 18; j <<= 1)
    fd = bpf_map_create(BPF_MAP_TYPE_HASH, NULL, i, j, 2, 0);
creates many kmem_cache-s that are not mergeable in debug kernels
and consume unnecessary amount of memory.
Turned out bpf_mem_cache's free_list logic does batching well,
so usage of kmem_cache for fixes size allocations doesn't bring
any performance benefits vs normal kmalloc.
Hence get rid of kmem_cache in bpf_mem_cache.
That saves memory, speeds up map create/destroy operations,
while maintains hash map update/delete performance.
