Subject: [Patch v4 05/22] sched/cache: Make LLC id continuous
Date: Wed,  1 Apr 2026 14:52:17 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <047ef46339e4db497b54a89940a7ebedf27fcf28.1775065312.git.tim.c.chen@linux.intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1775065312.git.tim.c.chen@linux.intel.com>

Introduce an index mapping between CPUs and their LLCs. This provides
a roughly continuous per LLC index needed for cache-aware load balancing in
later patches.

The existing per_cpu llc_id usually points to the first CPU of the
LLC domain, which is sparse and unsuitable as an array index. Using
llc_id directly would waste memory.

With the new mapping, CPUs in the same LLC share an approximate
continuous id:

  per_cpu(llc_id, CPU=0...15)  = 0
  per_cpu(llc_id, CPU=16...31) = 1
  per_cpu(llc_id, CPU=32...47) = 2
  ...

Note that the LLC IDs are allocated via bitmask, so the IDs may be
reused during CPU offline->online transitions.

Notes:
    v3->v4:
         Leverage dynamic cpumask management infrastructure
         for LLC id allocation.
