[v11,1/5] lib: objpool added: ring-array based lockless MPMC

Commit Message

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

I'm curious why not just extend the existing lockless freelist to
percpu lockless freelists? And the percpu freelist is more flexible
to use than this percpu ring-array? The latter has to be fixed size
when creation.

Thanks.

I did that in first 2 versions, and abandoned it from the 3rd version.
The core reason is there are data races in freelist node:

After pop() from freelist, the freelist_node zone of the object could
be still in busy spinning by other nodes, so even the owner of this
object couldn't know when the races would go. freelist_zone is defined
as a union in the use cases (kretprobe), which brings potential issues.
If the object owner touches freelist_node:refs and then tries to push
to freelist to reclaim the object, freelist_add might just quit if
atomic_fetch_add_release(REFS_ON_FREELIST, &node->refs) returns true.

Keeping freelist_node as private could be fine, which is imposing an
extra rule to the users. Current ring array likes something moving
"freelist_node" to the ring array, which minimizes memory footprints.

Flexibility is not a strong requirement since all the use cases have
objects pre-allocated.
