    bpf: Allow selecting numa node during map creation · 96eabe7a
    Martin KaFai Lau authored
    The current map creation API does not allow to provide the numa-node
    preference.  The memory usually comes from where the map-creation-process
    is running.  The performance is not ideal if the bpf_prog is known to
    always run in a numa node different from the map-creation-process.
    
    One of the use case is sharding on CPU to different LRU maps (i.e.
    an array of LRU maps).  Here is the test result of map_perf_test on
    the INNER_LRU_HASH_PREALLOC test if we force the lru map used by
    CPU0 to be allocated from a remote numa node:
    
    [ The machine has 20 cores. CPU0-9 at node 0. CPU10-19 at node 1 ]
    
    ># taskset -c 10 ./map_perf_test 512 8 1260000 8000000
    5:inner_lru_hash_map_perf pre-alloc 1628380 events per sec
    4:inner_lru_hash_map_perf pre-alloc 1626396 events per sec
    3:inner_lru_hash_map_perf pre-alloc 1626144 events per sec
    6:inner_lru_hash_map_perf pre-alloc 1621657 events per sec
    2:inner_lru_hash_map_perf pre-alloc 1621534 events per sec
    1:inner_lru_hash_map_perf pre-alloc 1620292 events per sec
    7:inner_lru_hash_map_perf pre-alloc 1613305 events per sec
    0:inner_lru_hash_map_perf pre-alloc 1239150 events per sec  #<<<
    
    After specifying numa node:
    ># taskset -c 10 ./map_perf_test 512 8 1260000 8000000
    5:inner_lru_hash_map_perf pre-alloc 1629627 events per sec
    3:inner_lru_hash_map_perf pre-alloc 1628057 events per sec
    1:inner_lru_hash_map_perf pre-alloc 1623054 events per sec
    6:inner_lru_hash_map_perf pre-alloc 1616033 events per sec
    2:inner_lru_hash_map_perf pre-alloc 1614630 events per sec
    4:inner_lru_hash_map_perf pre-alloc 1612651 events per sec
    7:inner_lru_hash_map_perf pre-alloc 1609337 events per sec
    0:inner_lru_hash_map_perf pre-alloc 1619340 events per sec #<<<
    
    This patch adds one field, numa_node, to the bpf_attr.  Since numa node 0
    is a valid node, a new flag BPF_F_NUMA_NODE is also added.  The numa_node
    field is honored if and only if the BPF_F_NUMA_NODE flag is set.
    
    Numa node selection is not supported for percpu map.
    
    This patch does not change all the kmalloc.  F.e.
    'htab = kzalloc()' is not changed since the object
    is small enough to stay in the cache.
