Subject: [PATCH bpf-next 2/2] selftests/bpf: Add mmap/munmap benchmark for array maps
Date: Tue, 21 Jul 2026 23:53:08 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260722065308.4116186-3-song@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260722065308.4116186-1-song@kernel.org>

Add a benchmark that repeatedly mmap()s and munmap()s an mmap-able BPF
array map (BPF_F_MMAPABLE) from a configurable number of threads. Both
the number of worker threads and the size of the map are tunable via
--nr-threads and --map-size, defaulting to 16 threads and 8MiB.

The benchmark is useful to observe how the cost of mmap()/munmap()
scales with the mapping size, e.g. eager vs lazy page-table population.
