Commit41a5db8d81("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 Commit41a5db8d81, 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, Commit1fda5bb66a("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.
