bpf: lru: Add map-in-map LRU example
This patch adds a map-in-map LRU example. If we know only a subset of cores will use the LRU, we can allocate a common LRU list per targeting core and store it into an array-of-hashs. It allows using the common LRU map with map-update performance comparable to the BPF_F_NO_COMMON_LRU map but without wasting memory on the unused cores that we know they will never access the LRU map. BPF_F_NO_COMMON_LRU: > map_perf_test 32 8 10000000 10000000 | awk '{sum += $3}END{print sum}' 9234314 (9.23M/s) map-in-map LRU: > map_perf_test 512 8 1260000 80000000 | awk '{sum += $3}END{print sum}' 9962743 (9.96M/s) Notes that the max_entries for the map-in-map LRU test is 1260000 which is the max_entries for each inner LRU map. 8 processes have been started, so 8 * 1260000 = 10080000 (~10M) which is close to what is used in the BPF_F_NO_COMMON_LRU test.
