Merge branch 'bpf-reduce-the-use-of-migrate_-disable-enable'
Hou Tao says: ==================== The use of migrate_{disable|enable} pair in BPF is mainly due to the introduction of bpf memory allocator and the use of per-CPU data struct in its internal implementation. The caller needs to disable migration before invoking the alloc or free APIs of bpf memory allocator, and enable migration after the invocation. The main users of bpf memory allocator are various kind of bpf maps in which the map values or the special fields in the map values are allocated by using bpf memory allocator. At present, the running context for bpf program has already disabled migration explictly or implictly, therefore, when these maps are manipulated in bpf program, it is OK to not invoke migrate_disable() and migrate_enable() pair. Howevers, it is not always the case when these maps are manipulated through bpf syscall, therefore many migrate_{disable|enable} pairs are added when the map can either be manipulated by BPF program or BPF syscall. The initial idea of reducing the use of migrate_{disable|enable} comes from Alexei [1]. I turned it into a patch set that archives the goals through the following three methods: 1. remove unnecessary migrate_{disable|enable} pair when the BPF syscall path also disables migration, it is OK to remove the pair. Patch #1~#3 fall into this category, while patch #4~#5 are partially included. 2. move the migrate_{disable|enable} pair from inner callee to outer caller Instead of invoking migrate_disable() in the inner callee, invoking migrate_disable() in the outer caller to simplify reasoning about when migrate_disable() is needed. Patch #4~#5 and patch torvalds#6~torvalds#19 belongs to this category. 3. add cant_migrate() check in the inner callee Add cant_migrate() check in the inner callee to ensure the guarantee that migration is disabled is not broken. Patch #1~#5, torvalds#13, torvalds#16~torvalds#19 also belong to this category. Please check the individual patches for more details. Comments are always welcome. Change Log: v2: * sqaush the ->map_free related patches (torvalds#10~torvalds#12, torvalds#15) into one patch * remove unnecessary cant_migrate() checks. v1: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/[email protected] ==================== Link: https://patch.msgid.link/[email protected] Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <[email protected]>
