Hi Zhen Lei,
Nate (CC'd), Robin and I have been working on something very similar to
this series, but this patch is different to what we had planned. More below.

Because all TLBI commands should be followed by a SYNC command, to make
sure that it has been completely finished. So we can just add the TLBI
commands into the queue, and put off the execution until meet SYNC or
other commands. To prevent the followed SYNC command waiting for a long
time because of too many commands have been delayed, restrict the max
delayed number.
According to my test, I got the same performance data as I replaced writel
with writel_relaxed in queue_inc_prod.

So here, you're effectively putting invalidation commands into the command
queue without updating PROD. Do you actually see a performance advantage
from doing so? Another side of the argument would be that we should be
Yes, my sas ssd performance test showed that it can improve about 100-150K/s(the same to I directly replace
writel with writel_relaxed). And the average execution time of iommu_unmap(which called by iommu_dma_unmap_sg)
dropped from 10us to 5us.
moving PROD as soon as we can, so that the SMMU can process invalidation
commands in the background and reduce the cost of the final SYNC operation
when the high-level unmap operation is complete.
There maybe that __iowmb() is more expensive than wait for tlbi complete. Except the time of __iowmb()
itself, it also protected by spinlock, lock confliction will rise rapidly in the stress scene. __iowmb()
average cost 300-500ns(Sorry, I forget the exact value).
In addition, after applied this patcheset and Robin's v2, and my earlier dma64 iova optimization patchset.
Our net performance test got the same data to global bypass. But sas ssd still have more than 20% dropped.
Maybe we should still focus at map/unamp, because the average execution time of iova alloc/free is only
about 400ns.
By the way, patch2-5 is more effective than this one, it can improve more than 350K/s. And with it, we can
got about 100-150K/s improvement of Robin's v2. Otherwise, I saw non effective of Robin's v2. Sorry, I have
not tested how about this patch without patch2-5. Further more, I got the same performance data to global
bypass for the traditional mechanical hard disk with only patch2-5(without this patch and Robin's).
Hi All,
I'm a bit of late entry to this discussion. Just been running some more
detailed tests on our d05 boards and wanted to bring some more numbers to
the discussion.
All tests against 4.12 with the following additions:
* Robin's series removing the io-pgtable spinlock (and a few recent fixes)
* Cherry picked updates to the sas driver, merged prior to 4.13-rc1
* An additional HNS (network card) bug fix that will be upstreamed shortly.
I've broken the results down into this patch and this patch + the remainder
of the set. As leizhen mentioned we got a nice little performance
bump from Robin's series so that was applied first (as it's in mainline now)
SAS tests were fio with noop scheduler, 4k block size and various io depths
1 process per disk. Note this is probably a different setup to leizhen's
original numbers.
Precentages are off the performance seen with the smmu disabled.

Robin's series gave us small gains across the board (3-5% recovered)
relative to the no smmu performance (which we are taking as the ideal case)
This first patch gets us back another 2-5% of the no smmu performance
The next few patches get us very little advantage on the small io-depths
but make a large difference to the larger io-depths - in particular the
read IOPS which is over twice as fast as without the series.
For HNS it seems that we are less dependent on the SMMU performance and
can reach the non SMMU speed.
Tests with
iperf -t 30 -i 10 -c IPADDRESS -P 3 last 10 seconds taken to avoid any
initial variability.
The server end of the link was always running with smmu v3 disabled
so as to act as a fast sink of the data. Some variation seen across
repeat runs.

So HNS test shows a greater boost from Robin's series and this first patch.
This is most likely because the HNS test is not putting as high a load on
the SMMU and associated code as the SAS test.
In both cases however, this shows that both parts of this patch
series are beneficial.
So on to the questions ;)
Will, you mentioned that along with Robin and Nate you were working on
a somewhat related strategy to improve the performance. Any ETA on that?
The strategy I was working on is basically equivalent to the second
part of the series. I will test your patches out sometime this week, and
I'll also try to have our performance team run it through their whole
suite.
As you might imagine, with the above numbers we are very keen to try and
move forward with this as quickly as possible.
If you want additional testing we would be happy to help.
Thanks,
Jonathan
