[$] Per-CPU memory for user space
Tuesday April 8, 2025. 03:37 PM , from LWN.net
The kernel makes extensive use of per-CPU data as a way to avoid contention
between processors and improve scalability. Using the same technique in user space is harder, though, since there is little control over which CPU a process may be running on at any given time. That hasn't stopped Mathieu Desnoyers from trying, though; in the memory-management track of the 2025 Linux Storage, Filesystem, Memory-Management, and BPF Summit, he presented a proposal for how user-space per-CPU memory could work.
