2023-10-18lib: objpool added: ring-array based lockless MPMCwuqiang.matt
objpool is a scalable implementation of high performance queue for object allocation and reclamation, such as kretprobe instances. With leveraging percpu ring-array to mitigate hot spots of memory contention, it delivers near-linear scalability for high parallel scenarios. The objpool is best suited for the following cases: 1) Memory allocation or reclamation are prohibited or too expensive 2) Consumers are of different priorities, such as irqs and threads Limitations: 1) Maximum objects (capacity) is fixed after objpool creation 2) All pre-allocated objects are managed in percpu ring array, which consumes more memory than linked lists Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20231017135654.82270-2-wuqiang.matt@bytedance.com/ Signed-off-by: wuqiang.matt <wuqiang.matt@bytedance.com> Acked-by: Masami Hiramatsu (Google) <mhiramat@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu (Google) <mhiramat@kernel.org>
