[PATCH 05/18] dma: Provide an interface to allow allocate IOVA
Posted by Leon Romanovsky 4 weeks ago
From: Leon Romanovsky <leonro@nvidia.com>

The existing .map_page() callback provides both allocating of IOVA
and linking DMA pages. That combination works great for most of the
callers who use it in control paths, but is less effective in fast
paths where there may be multiple calls to map_page().

These advanced callers already manage their data in some sort of
database and can perform IOVA allocation in advance, leaving range
linkage operation to be in fast path.

Provide an interface to allocate/deallocate IOVA and next patch
link/unlink DMA ranges to that specific IOVA.

The API is exported from dma-iommu as it is the only implementation
supported, the namespace is clearly different from iommu_* functions
which are not allowed to be used. This code layout allows us to save
function call per API call used in datapath as well as a lot of boilerplate
code.

Can you please share perf stats with this patch in fast path, if available?

I don't have this data for HMM and VFIO as they have other benefits from this
series except performance. For NVMe, I don't have the data yet, but it will
come https://lore.kernel.org/all/cover.1730037261.git.leon@kernel.org/,
as it is the main performant user of this API.

This is the main reason why NVMe series is marked as RFC yet.

The proposed API is not only splitted to allow batching of DMA
operations without need of scatter-gather, but also allowed to
users without "struct *page" to use it. 

In IOMMU and DMA layers all operations are performed on physical
addresses and the API "request" to provide "struct *page" in
dma_map_sg/dma_map_page is not truly needed.

In this specific case, the physical address is used to calculate
IOVA offset, see "size_t iova_off = iova_offset(iovad, phys);" line,
which is needed for NVMe PCI/block layer, as they can have first
address to be unaligned and IOVA allocation will need an offset to
properly calculate size.

HMM and VFIO operate on page granularity and in simple case
they don't need alignment. In more advance scenarios, they will
benefit from this offset anyway as it will cause to reduce of IOVA
space.

Thanks

And that is also very explicitly spelled out in the kerneldoc comments,
including the note that the physical address is optional if the
transfer is granule aligned (actually it says PAGE_SIZE which should
be fixed).

Any suggestions to further improve it are welcome of course.
