Hou Tao says: ==================== Remove unnecessary synchronizations in cpumap From: Hou Tao <houtao1@huawei.com> Hi, This is the formal patchset to remove unnecessary synchronizations in cpu-map after address comments and collect Rvb tags from Toke Høiland-Jørgensen (Big thanks to Toke). Patch #1 removes the unnecessary rcu_barrier() when freeing bpf_cpu_map_entry and replaces it by queue_rcu_work(). Patch #2 removes the unnecessary call_rcu() and queue_work() when destroying cpu-map and does the freeing directly. Test the patchset by using xdp_redirect_cpu and virtio-net. Both xdp-mode and skb-mode have been exercised and no issues were reported. As ususal, comments and suggestions are always welcome. Change Log: v1: * address comments from Toke Høiland-Jørgensen * add Rvb tags from Toke Høiland-Jørgensen * update outdated comment in cpu_map_delete_elem() RFC: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20230728023030.1906124-1-houtao@huaweicloud.com ==================== Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230816045959.358059-1-houtao@huaweicloud.com Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
