ee9fd0ac30 bpf: Address KCSAN report on bpf_lru_list
KCSAN reported a data-race when accessing node->ref.
Although node->ref does not have to be accurate,
take this chance to use a more common READ_ONCE() and WRITE_ONCE()
pattern instead of data_race().

There is an existing bpf_lru_node_is_ref() and bpf_lru_node_set_ref().
This patch also adds bpf_lru_node_clear_ref() to do the
WRITE_ONCE(node->ref, 0) also.

6df8fb8330 bpf_lru_list: Read double-checked variable once without lock
For double-checked locking in bpf_common_lru_push_free(), node->type is
read outside the critical section and then re-checked under the lock.
However, concurrent writes to node->type result in data races.

For example, the following concurrent access was observed by KCSAN:

  write to 0xffff88801521bc22 of 1 bytes by task 10038 on cpu 1:
   __bpf_lru_node_move_in        kernel/bpf/bpf_lru_list.c:91
   __local_list_flush            kernel/bpf/bpf_lru_list.c:298
   ...
  read to 0xffff88801521bc22 of 1 bytes by task 10043 on cpu 0:
   bpf_common_lru_push_free      kernel/bpf/bpf_lru_list.c:507
   bpf_lru_push_free             kernel/bpf/bpf_lru_list.c:555
   ...

Fix the data races where node->type is read outside the critical section
(for double-checked locking) by marking the access with READ_ONCE() as
well as ensuring the variable is only accessed once.

695ba2651a bpf: lru: Lower the PERCPU_NR_SCANS from 16 to 4
After doing map_perf_test with a much bigger
BPF_F_NO_COMMON_LRU map, the perf report shows a
lot of time spent in rotating the inactive list (i.e.
__bpf_lru_list_rotate_inactive):
> map_perf_test 32 8 10000 1000000 | awk '{sum += $3}END{print sum}'
19644783 (19M/s)
> map_perf_test 32 8 10000000 10000000 |  awk '{sum += $3}END{print sum}'
6283930 (6.28M/s)

By inactive, it usually means the element is not in cache.  Hence,
there is a need to tune the PERCPU_NR_SCANS value.

This patch finds a better number of elements to
scan during each list rotation.  The PERCPU_NR_SCANS (which
is defined the same as PERCPU_FREE_TARGET) decreases
from 16 elements to 4 elements.  This change only
affects the BPF_F_NO_COMMON_LRU map.

The test_lru_dist does not show meaningful difference
between 16 and 4.  Our production L4 load balancer which uses
the LRU map for conntrack-ing also shows little change in cache
hit rate.  Since both benchmark and production data show no
cache-hit difference, PERCPU_NR_SCANS is lowered from 16 to 4.
We can consider making it configurable if we find a usecase
later that shows another value works better and/or use
a different rotation strategy.

After this change:
> map_perf_test 32 8 10000000 10000000 |  awk '{sum += $3}END{print sum}'
9240324 (9.2M/s)

i.e. 6.28M/s -> 9.2M/s

The test_lru_dist has not shown meaningful difference:
> test_lru_dist zipf.100k.a1_01.out 4000 1:
nr_misses: 31575 (Before) vs 31566 (After)

> test_lru_dist zipf.100k.a0_01.out 40000 1
nr_misses: 67036 (Before) vs 67031 (After)

961578b634 bpf: Add percpu LRU list
Instead of having a common LRU list, this patch allows a
percpu LRU list which can be selected by specifying a map
attribute.  The map attribute will be added in the later
patch.

While the common use case for LRU is #reads >> #updates,
percpu LRU list allows bpf prog to absorb unusual #updates
under pathological case (e.g. external traffic facing machine which
could be under attack).

Each percpu LRU is isolated from each other.  The LRU nodes (including
free nodes) cannot be moved across different LRU Lists.

Here are the update performance comparison between
common LRU list and percpu LRU list (the test code is
at the last patch):

[root@kerneltest003.31.prn1 ~]# for i in 1 4 8; do echo -n "$i cpus: "; \
./map_perf_test 16 $i | awk '{r += $3}END{print r " updates"}'; done
 1 cpus: 2934082 updates
 4 cpus: 7391434 updates
 8 cpus: 6500576 updates

[root@kerneltest003.31.prn1 ~]# for i in 1 4 8; do echo -n "$i cpus: "; \

3a08c2fd76 bpf: LRU List
Introduce bpf_lru_list which will provide LRU capability to
the bpf_htab in the later patch.

* General Thoughts:
1. Target use case.  Read is more often than update.
   (i.e. bpf_lookup_elem() is more often than bpf_update_elem()).
   If bpf_prog does a bpf_lookup_elem() first and then an in-place
   update, it still counts as a read operation to the LRU list concern.
2. It may be useful to think of it as a LRU cache
3. Optimize the read case
   3.1 No lock in read case
   3.2 The LRU maintenance is only done during bpf_update_elem()
4. If there is a percpu LRU list, it will lose the system-wise LRU
   property.  A completely isolated percpu LRU list has the best
   performance but the memory utilization is not ideal considering
   the work load may be imbalance.
5. Hence, this patch starts the LRU implementation with a global LRU
   list with batched operations before accessing the global LRU list.
   As a LRU cache, #read >> #update/#insert operations, it will work well.
6. There is a local list (for each cpu) which is named
   'struct bpf_lru_locallist'.  This local list is not used to sort
   the LRU property.  Instead, the local list is to batch enough
   operations before acquiring the lock of the global LRU list.  More
   details on this later.
7. In the later patch, it allows a percpu LRU list by specifying a
   map-attribute for scalability reason and for use cases that need to
   prepare for the worst (and pathological) case like DoS attack.
   The percpu LRU list is completely isolated from each other and the
   LRU nodes (including free nodes) cannot be moved across the list.  The
   following description is for the global LRU list but mostly applicable
   to the percpu LRU list also.

* Global LRU List:
1. It has three sub-lists: active-list, inactive-list and free-list.
2. The two list idea, active and inactive, is borrowed from the
   page cache.
3. All nodes are pre-allocated and all sit at the free-list (of the
   global LRU list) at the beginning.  The pre-allocation reasoning
   is similar to the existing BPF_MAP_TYPE_HASH.  However,
   opting-out prealloc (BPF_F_NO_PREALLOC) is not supported in
   the LRU map.

* Active/Inactive List (of the global LRU list):
1. The active list, as its name says it, maintains the active set of
   the nodes.  We can think of it as the working set or more frequently
   accessed nodes.  The access frequency is approximated by a ref-bit.
   The ref-bit is set during the bpf_lookup_elem().
2. The inactive list, as its name also says it, maintains a less
   active set of nodes.  They are the candidates to be removed
   from the bpf_htab when we are running out of free nodes.
3. The ordering of these two lists is acting as a rough clock.
   The tail of the inactive list is the older nodes and
   should be released first if the bpf_htab needs free element.

* Rotating the Active/Inactive List (of the global LRU list):
1. It is the basic operation to maintain the LRU property of
   the global list.
2. The active list is only rotated when the inactive list is running
   low.  This idea is similar to the current page cache.
   Inactive running low is currently defined as
   "# of inactive < # of active".
3. The active list rotation always starts from the tail.  It moves
   node without ref-bit set to the head of the inactive list.
   It moves node with ref-bit set back to the head of the active
   list and then clears its ref-bit.
4. The inactive rotation is pretty simply.
   It walks the inactive list and moves the nodes back to the head of
   active list if its ref-bit is set. The ref-bit is cleared after moving
   to the active list.
   If the node does not have ref-bit set, it just leave it as it is
   because it is already in the inactive list.

* Shrinking the Inactive List (of the global LRU list):
1. Shrinking is the operation to get free nodes when the bpf_htab is
   full.
2. It usually only shrinks the inactive list to get free nodes.
3. During shrinking, it will walk the inactive list from the tail,
   delete the nodes without ref-bit set from bpf_htab.
4. If no free node found after step (3), it will forcefully get
   one node from the tail of inactive or active list.  Forcefully is
   in the sense that it ignores the ref-bit.

* Local List:
1. Each CPU has a 'struct bpf_lru_locallist'.  The purpose is to
   batch enough operations before acquiring the lock of the
   global LRU.
2. A local list has two sub-lists, free-list and pending-list.
3. During bpf_update_elem(), it will try to get from the free-list
   of (the current CPU local list).
4. If the local free-list is empty, it will acquire from the
   global LRU list.  The global LRU list can either satisfy it
   by its global free-list or by shrinking the global inactive
   list.  Since we have acquired the global LRU list lock,
   it will try to get at most LOCAL_FREE_TARGET elements
   to the local free list.
5. When a new element is added to the bpf_htab, it will
   first sit at the pending-list (of the local list) first.
   The pending-list will be flushed to the global LRU list
   when it needs to acquire free nodes from the global list
   next time.

* Lock Consideration:
The LRU list has a lock (lru_lock).  Each bucket of htab has a
lock (buck_lock).  If both locks need to be acquired together,
the lock order is always lru_lock -> buck_lock and this only
happens in the bpf_lru_list.c logic.

In hashtab.c, both locks are not acquired together (i.e. one
lock is always released first before acquiring another lock).
