for_each_cpu() is widely used in the kernel, and it's beneficial to
create a NUMA-aware version of the macro.
Recently added for_each_numa_hop_mask() works, but switching existing
codebase to using it is not an easy process.
New for_each_numa_cpu() is designed to be similar to the for_each_cpu().
It allows to convert existing code to NUMA-aware as simple as adding a
hop iterator variable and passing it inside new macro. for_each_numa_cpu()
takes care of the rest.
At the moment, we have 2 users of NUMA-aware enumerators. One is
Melanox's in-tree driver, and another is Intel's in-review driver:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20230216145455.661709-1-pawel.chmielewski@intel.com/
Both real-life examples follow the same pattern:
for_each_numa_hop_mask(cpus, prev, node) {
for_each_cpu_andnot(cpu, cpus, prev) {
if (cnt++ == max_num)
goto out;
do_something(cpu);
}
prev = cpus;
}
With the new macro, it would look like this:
for_each_numa_cpu(cpu, hop, node, cpu_possible_mask) {
if (cnt++ == max_num)
break;
do_something(cpu);
}
Straight conversion of existing for_each_cpu() codebase to NUMA-aware
version with for_each_numa_hop_mask() is difficult because it doesn't
take a user-provided cpu mask, and eventually ends up with open-coded
double loop. With for_each_numa_cpu() it shouldn't be a brainteaser.
Consider the NUMA-ignorant example:
cpumask_t cpus = get_mask();
int cnt = 0, cpu;
for_each_cpu(cpu, cpus) {
if (cnt++ == max_num)
break;
do_something(cpu);
}
Converting it to NUMA-aware version would be as simple as:
cpumask_t cpus = get_mask();
int node = get_node();
int cnt = 0, hop, cpu;
for_each_numa_cpu(cpu, hop, node, cpus) {
if (cnt++ == max_num)
break;
do_something(cpu);
}
The latter looks more verbose and avoids from open-coding that annoying
double loop. Another advantage is that it works with a 'hop' parameter with
the clear meaning of NUMA distance, and doesn't make people not familiar
to enumerator internals bothering with current and previous masks machinery.

As mentioned in discussion to the driver's patch, all that numa things
imply only online CPUs, so cpu_possible_mask may mislead to some extent.
Anyways, can you elaborate what you exactly want? Like this?
#define for_each_numa_online_cpu(cpu, hop, node) \
for_each_numa_cpu(cpu, hop, node, cpu_online_mask)

Like you said, the NUMA cpumasks built by the scheduler reflect the online topology, so s/possible/online/ shouldn't change much here.
