objpool is a scalable implementation of high performance queue for object allocation and reclamation, such as kretprobe instances. With leveraging percpu ring-array to mitigate hot spots of memory contention, it delivers near-linear scalability for high parallel scenarios. The objpool is best suited for the following cases: 1) Memory allocation or reclamation are prohibited or too expensive 2) Consumers are of different priorities, such as irqs and threads Limitations: 1) Maximum objects (capacity) is fixed after objpool creation 2) All pre-allocated objects are managed in percpu ring array, which consumes more memory than linked lists Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20231017135654.82270-2-wuqiang.matt@bytedance.com/ Signed-off-by: wuqiang.matt <wuqiang.matt@bytedance.com> Acked-by: Masami Hiramatsu (Google) <mhiramat@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu (Google) <mhiramat@kernel.org>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
