Subject: [PATCH RFC net-next 0/2] Use per-task storage for XDP-redirects on PREEMPT_RT
Date: Tue, 13 Feb 2024 15:58:51 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240213145923.2552753-1-bigeasy@linutronix.de> (raw)
In [0] I introduced explicit locking for resources which are otherwise
locked implicit locked by local_bh_disable() and this protections goes
away if the lock in local_bh_disable() is removed on PREEMPT_RT.
There was a big complained once it came to the locking of XDP related
resources during XDP-redirect because it was mostly per-packet and the
locking, even not contended, was seen as a problem [1]. Another XDP
related problem was that I also touched every NIC-driver using XDP. This
complicated the "how to write a NIC driver" further.
To solve both problems I was thinking about an alternative and ended up
with moving the data structure from per-CPU to per-task on PREEMPT_RT.
Instead of adding it to task_struct, I added a pointer there and setup
the struct on stack. In my debug build on x86-64 the struct
bpf_xdp_storage has 112 bytes and collected the per-CPU ressources.
I'm posting here only two patches which replace the XDP redirect part
(patches 14 to 24) from the original series.
