Subject: [PATCH v2 net-next 4/7] net-sysfs: use rps_tag_ptr and remove metadata from rps_sock_flow_table
Date: Sun, 1 Mar 2026 18:14:54 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260301181457.3539105-5-edumazet@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260301181457.3539105-1-edumazet@google.com>
Instead of storing the @mask at the beginning of rps_sock_flow_table,
use 5 low order bits of the rps_tag_ptr to store the log of the size.
This removes a potential cache line miss to fetch @mask.
More importantly, we can switch to vmalloc_huge() without wasting memory.
Tested with:
numactl --interleave=all bash -c "echo 4194304 >/proc/sys/net/core/rps_sock_flow_entries"

For a single queue device, the rps_flow_cnt value for the single queue
would normally be configured to the same value as rps_sock_flow_entries.
For a multi-queue device, the rps_flow_cnt for each queue might be
configured as rps_sock_flow_entries / N, where N is the number of
-queues. So for instance, if rps_sock_flow_entries is set to 32768 and there
