Commit 41a5db8d8161 ("Add support for non-fix-size percpu mem allocation")
added support for non-fix-size percpu memory allocation.
Such allocation will allocate percpu memory for all buckets on all
cpus and the memory consumption is in the order to quadratic.
For example, let us say, 4 cpus, unit size 16 bytes, so each
cpu has 16 * 4 = 64 bytes, with 4 cpus, total will be 64 * 4 = 256 bytes.
Then let us say, 8 cpus with the same unit size, each cpu
has 16 * 8 = 128 bytes, with 8 cpus, total will be 128 * 8 = 1024 bytes.
So if the number of cpus doubles, the number of memory consumption
will be 4 times. So for a system with large number of cpus, the
memory consumption goes up quickly with quadratic order.
For example, for 4KB percpu allocation, 128 cpus. The total memory
consumption will 4KB * 128 * 128 = 64MB. Things will become
worse if the number of cpus is bigger (e.g., 512, 1024, etc.)

In Commit 41a5db8d8161, the non-fix-size percpu memory allocation is
done in boot time, so for system with large number of cpus, the initial
percpu memory consumption is very visible. For example, for 128 cpu
system, the total percpu memory allocation will be at least
(16 + 32 + 64 + 96 + 128 + 196 + 256 + 512 + 1024 + 2048 + 4096)
  * 128 * 128 = ~138MB.
which is pretty big. It will be even bigger for larger number of cpus.

Note that the current prefill also allocates 4 entries if the unit size
is less than 256. So on top of 138MB memory consumption, this will
add more consumption with
3 * (16 + 32 + 64 + 96 + 128 + 196 + 256) * 128 * 128 = ~38MB.
Next patch will try to reduce this memory consumption.

Later on, Commit 1fda5bb66ad8 ("bpf: Do not allocate percpu memory
at init stage") moved the non-fix-size percpu memory allocation
to bpf verificaiton stage. Once a particular bpf_percpu_obj_new()
is called by bpf program, the memory allocator will try to fill in
the cache with all sizes, causing the same amount of percpu memory
consumption as in the boot stage.

To reduce the initial percpu memory consumption for non-fix-size
percpu memory allocation, instead of filling the cache with all
supported allocation sizes, this patch intends to fill the cache
only for the requested size. As typically users will not use large
percpu data structure, this can save memory significantly.
For example, the allocation size is 64 bytes with 128 cpus.
Then total percpu memory amount will be 64 * 128 * 128 = 1MB,
much less than previous 138MB.

Sorry, a oversight here. The above should be removed. Will fix in the next revision.

__GFP_ZERO is not needed. __alloc_percpu_gfp() will zero the returned

It seems drain_mem_cache() will be enough. Have you considered setting
low_watermark as 0 to prevent potential refill in unit_alloc() if the
initialization of the current unit fails ?

Thanks. Checked the comments in __alloc_percpu_gfp() and indeed, the returned
buffer has been zeroed.

At prefill stage, looks like the following is enough:
     free_all(__llist_del_all(&c->free_llist), percpu);
But I agree that drain_mem_cache() is simpler and is
easier for future potential code change.

I think it does make sense. For non-fix-size non-percpu prefill,
if check_obj_size() failed, the prefill will fail, which include
all buckets.

In this case, if it fails for a particular bucket, we should
make sure that bucket always return NULL ptr, so setting the
low_watermark to 0 does make sense.

Thinking again. If the initialization of the current unit
failed, the verification will fail and the corresponding
bpf program will not be able to do memory alloc, so we
should be fine.

But it is totally possible that some prog later may
call bpf_mem_alloc_percpu_unit_init() again with the
same size/bucket. So we should simply reset bpf_mem_cache
to 0 during the previous failed bpf_mem_alloc_percpu_unit_init()
call. Is it possible that check_obj_size() may initially
returns an error but sometime later something in
the kernel changed and the check_obj_size() with the
same size could return true?

Resetting bpf_mem_cache as 0 is much simpler and easier to understand
than resetting low_watermark as 0. For per-cpu allocation, the return
value of pcpu_alloc_size() is stable and I don't think it will change
like ksize() does(), so it is not possible that the previous
check_obj_size() failed, but the new check_obj_size() for the same
unit_size succeeds.

Thanks for clarification. Let me just do resetting bpf_mem_cache to 0 then.
