Re: [PATCH bpf-next v3 4/6] bpf: Introduce bpf_per_cpu_ptr()

On Wed, Sep 16, 2020 at 3:39 PM Hao Luo haoluo@google.com wrote:

Add bpf_per_cpu_ptr() to help bpf programs access percpu vars. bpf_per_cpu_ptr() has the same semantic as per_cpu_ptr() in the kernel except that it may return NULL. This happens when the cpu parameter is out of range. So the caller must check the returned value.

I already acked this, but see my concern about O(N) look up for .data..percpu. Feel free to follow up on this with a separate patch. Thanks!

FYI, this will conflict with Lorenz's refactoring, so you might need to rebase and solve the conflicts if his patch set lands first.

this is a relatively expensive O(N) operation, it probably makes sense to cache it (there are about 80'000 types now in BTF for my typical kernel config, so iterating that much for every single ldimm64 for ksym is kind of expensive.
