Hi all,
Just a quick repost of v2[1] with a small fix for the bug reported by Nate.
I tested the series and can confirm that the crash I reported on v2
no longer occurs with this version.
To recap, whilst this mostly only improves worst-case performance, those
worst-cases have a tendency to be pathologically bad:
Ard reports general desktop performance with Chromium on AMD Seattle going
from ~1-2FPS to perfectly usable.
Leizhen reports gigabit ethernet throughput going from ~6.5Mbit/s to line
speed.
I also inadvertantly found that the HiSilicon hns_dsaf driver was taking ~35s
to probe simply becuase of the number of DMA buffers it maps on startup (perf
shows around 76% of that was spent under the lock in alloc_iova()). With this
series applied it takes a mere ~1s, mostly of unrelated mdelay()s, with
alloc_iova() entirely lost in the noise.
Are any of these cases PCI devices attached to domains that have run
out of 32-bit IOVAs and have to retry the allocation using dma_limit?
iommu_dma_alloc_iova() {
[...]
if (dma_limit > DMA_BIT_MASK(32) && dev_is_pci(dev)) [<- TRUE]
iova = alloc_iova_fast(DMA_BIT_MASK(32)); [<- NULL]
if (!iova)
iova = alloc_iova_fast(dma_limit); [<- OK ]
[...]
}
I am asking because, when using 64k pages, the Mellanox CX4 adapter
exhausts the supply 32-bit IOVAs simply allocating per-cpu IOVA space
during 'ifconfig up' so the code path outlined above is taken for
nearly all subsequent allocations. Although I do see a notable (~2x)
performance improvement with this series, I would still characterize it
as "pathologically bad" at < 10% of iommu passthrough performance.
This was a bit surprising to me as I thought the iova_rcache would
have eliminated the need to walk the rbtree for runtime allocations.
Unfortunately, it looks like the failed attempt to allocate a 32-bit
IOVA actually drops the cached IOVAs that we could have used when
subsequently performing the allocation at dma_limit.
alloc_iova_fast() {
[...]
iova_pfn = iova_rcache_get(...); [<- Fail, no 32-bit IOVAs]
if (iova_pfn)
return iova_pfn;
retry:
new_iova = alloc_iova(...); [<- Fail, no 32-bit IOVAs]
if (!new_iova) {
unsigned int cpu;
if (flushed_rcache)
return 0;
/* Try replenishing IOVAs by flushing rcache. */
flushed_rcache = true;
for_each_online_cpu(cpu)
free_cpu_cached_iovas(cpu, iovad); [<- :( ]
goto retry;
}
}
As an experiment, I added code to skip the rcache flushing/retry for
the 32-bit allocations. In this configuration, 100% of passthrough mode
performance was achieved. I made the same change in the baseline and
measured performance at ~95% of passthrough mode.
I also got similar results by altogether removing the 32-bit allocation
from iommu_dma_alloc_iova() which makes me wonder why we even bother.
What (PCIe) workloads have been shown to actually benefit from it?
