Subject: [PATCH V2 2/5] ublk: implement NUMA-aware memory allocation
Date: Tue, 28 Oct 2025 16:56:31 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251028085636.185714-3-ming.lei@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251028085636.185714-1-ming.lei@redhat.com>

Implement NUMA-friendly memory allocation for ublk driver to improve
performance on multi-socket systems.

This commit includes the following changes:

1. Convert struct ublk_device to use a flexible array member for the
   queues field (using DECLARE_FLEX_ARRAY) instead of a separate
   pointer array allocation. This eliminates one level of indirection
   and simplifies memory management. The queues array is now allocated
   as part of struct ublk_device using struct_size().

2. Rename __queues to queues, dropping the __ prefix since the field is
   now accessed directly throughout the codebase rather than only through
   the ublk_get_queue() helper.

3. Remove the queue_size field from struct ublk_device as it is no longer
   needed.

4. Move queue allocation and deallocation into ublk_init_queue() and
   ublk_deinit_queue() respectively, improving encapsulation. This
   simplifies ublk_init_queues() and ublk_deinit_queues() to just
   iterate and call the per-queue functions.

5. Add ublk_get_queue_numa_node() helper function to determine the
   appropriate NUMA node for a queue by finding the first CPU mapped
   to that queue via tag_set.map[HCTX_TYPE_DEFAULT].mq_map[] and
   converting it to a NUMA node using cpu_to_node(). This function is
   called internally by ublk_init_queue() to determine the allocation
   node.

6. Allocate each queue structure on its local NUMA node using
   kvzalloc_node() in ublk_init_queue().

7. Allocate the I/O command buffer on the same NUMA node using
   alloc_pages_node().

This reduces memory access latency on multi-socket NUMA systems by
ensuring each queue's data structures are local to the CPUs that
access them.
