[PATCH v2 0/8] sched/topology: add for_each_numa_cpu() macro
Posted by Yury Norov 12 months ago
for_each_cpu() is widely used in 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 it is not an easy process.

This series adds for_each_numa_cpu(), which 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 has a more standard 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.

v2: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/ZD3l6FBnUh9vTIGc@yury-ThinkPad/T/
v3:
 - fix sched_numa_find_{next,nth}_cpu() when CONFIG_NUMA is off to
   only traverse online CPUs;
 - don't export sched_domains_numa_levels for testing purposes. In
   the test, use for_each_node() macro;
 - extend the test for for_each_node();
 - in comments, mention that only online CPUs are traversed;
 - rebase on top of 6.3.

  sched: fix sched_numa_find_nth_cpu() in non-NUMA case
  lib/find: add find_next_and_andnot_bit()
  sched/topology: introduce sched_numa_find_next_cpu()

  lib/cpumask: update comment to cpumask_local_spread()
  sched: drop for_each_numa_hop_mask()
  lib: test for_each_numa_cpus()

Hi Jakub,

Now that the series reviewed, can you consider taking it in sched
tree?

Thanks,
Yury

Do you mean someone else or did you mean the net-next tree?

Sorry, net-next.

I'm a bit of a coward. I don't trust my ability to judge this code,
and it seems Linus has opinions about it :( The mlx5 patch looks like 
a small refactoring which can wait until 6.6. I don't feel like net-next
is the best path downstream for this series :(

LGTM, I ran the tests on a few NUMA topologies and that all seems to behave
as expected. Thanks for working on this!

Thank you Valentin. If you spent time testing the series, why
don't you add your Tested-by?

Well, I only ran the test_bitmap stuff and checked the output of the
iterator then, I didn't get to test on actual hardware with a mellanox card
:-)

But yeah, I suppose that does count for the rest, so feel free to add to
all patches but #5:
