Subject: [PATCH v9 0/5] lib,kprobes: kretprobe scalability improvement
Date: Tue,  5 Sep 2023 09:52:50 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230905015255.81545-1-wuqiang.matt@bytedance.com> (raw)

This patch series introduces a scalable and lockless ring-array based
object pool and replaces the original freelist (a LIFO queue based on
singly linked list) to improve scalability of kretprobed routines.

v9:
  1) objpool: raw_local_irq_save/restore added to prevent interruption

     To avoid possible ABA issues, we must ensure objpool_try_add_slot
     and objpool_try_add_slot are uninterruptible. If these operations
     are blocked or interrupted in the middle, other cores could overrun
     the same slot's ages[] of uint32, then after resuming back, the
     interrupted pop() or push() could see same value of ages[], which
     is a typical ABA problem though the possibility is small.

     The pair of pop()/push() costs about 8.53 cpu cycles, measured
     by IACA (Intel Architecture Code Analyzer). That is, on a 4Ghz
     core dedicated for pop() & push(), theoretically it would only
     need 8.53 seconds to overflow a 32bit value. Testings upon Intel
     i7-10700 (2.90GHz) cost 71.88 seconds to overrun a 32bit integer.

  2) codes improvements: thanks to Masami for the thorough inspection

v8:
  1) objpool: refcount added for objpool lifecycle management
