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)
