From 0e2ba9f96f9b82893ba19170ae48d46003f8ef44 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Yonghong Song Date: Thu, 21 Dec 2023 19:17:55 -0800 Subject: bpf: Use smaller low/high marks for percpu allocation Currently, refill low/high marks are set with the assumption of normal non-percpu memory allocation. For example, for an allocation size 256, for non-percpu memory allocation, low mark is 32 and high mark is 96, resulting in the batch allocation of 48 elements and the allocated memory will be 48 * 256 = 12KB for this particular cpu. Assuming an 128-cpu system, the total memory consumption across all cpus will be 12K * 128 = 1.5MB memory. This might be okay for non-percpu allocation, but may not be good for percpu allocation, which will consume 1.5MB * 128 = 192MB memory in the worst case if every cpu has a chance of memory allocation. In practice, percpu allocation is very rare compared to non-percpu allocation. So let us have smaller low/high marks which can avoid unnecessary memory consumption.
