Use actual CPU number instead of hardcoded value to decide the size
of 'cpu_used_mask' in 'struct sw_flow'. Below is the reason.

'struct cpumask cpu_used_mask' is embedded in struct sw_flow.
Its size is hardcoded to CONFIG_NR_CPUS bits, which can be
8192 by default, it costs memory and slows down ovs_flow_alloc

To address this:
 Redefine cpu_used_mask to pointer.
 Append cpumask_size() bytes after 'stat' to hold cpumask.
 Initialization cpu_used_mask right after stats_last_writer.

APIs like cpumask_next and cpumask_set_cpu never access bits
beyond cpu count, cpumask_size() bytes of memory is enough

nit: I think the correct prefix for the patch subject is 'openvswitch:'
     And there should be a space after the prefix.

[PATCH net-next v8 1/1] openvswitch: reduce cpu_used_mask
缘 陶 Feb. 4, 2023, 2:47 p.m. UTC | #2
Hi, Simon:

     Thank you for the time on the review.

and i looked into net folder and get various results

'net:', 'net: gre:', 'net: bridge:', 'net: thunderx', 'net: sock', 'net: 
genetlink', and there is also examples as you suggested like 'devlink:'

similarly, in other folders i see similar inconsistency, mm folder is an 
example.

I turned below links and did not find item regarding to the prefix 
definition

Link: https://docs.kernel.org/process/maintainer-netdev.html

Link: 
https://docs.kernel.org/process/submitting-patches.html#submittingpatches

Going through the git log in file net/openvswitch/flow.c, the 'net: 
openvswitch: ' prefix were used in previous commits.


I think the fix contained 'net' keep the prefix from name collision and 
better keeps it consistent with its neighbors in the same file

And yes, there should be a blank space after the colon, i miss it, will 
update the revision, after we nail down the wording of the prefix.


Thanks

eddy
