In both kmalloc and prealloc mode the bpf_map_update_elem() is using per-cpu extra_elems to do atomic update when the map is full. There are two issues with it. The logic can be misused, since it allows max_entries+num_cpus elements to be present in the map. And alloc_extra_elems() at map creation time can fail percpu alloc for large map values with a warn: WARNING: CPU: 3 PID: 2752 at ../mm/percpu.c:892 pcpu_alloc+0x119/0xa60 illegal size (32824) or align (8) for percpu allocation The fixes for both of these issues are different for kmalloc and prealloc modes. For prealloc mode allocate extra num_possible_cpus elements and store their pointers into extra_elems array instead of actual elements. Hence we can use these hidden(spare) elements not only when the map is full but during bpf_map_update_elem() that replaces existing element too. That also improves performance, since pcpu_freelist_pop/push is avoided. Unfortunately this approach cannot be used for kmalloc mode which needs to kfree elements after rcu grace period. Therefore switch it back to normal kmalloc even when full and old element exists like it was prior to commit |

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
