Re: [PATCH v9 5/6] iommu/dma: Allow a single FQ in addition to per-CPU FQs

In some virtualized environments, including s390 paged memory guests,
IOTLB flushes are used to update IOMMU shadow tables. Due to this, they
are much more expensive than in typical bare metal environments or
non-paged s390 guests. In addition they may parallelize more poorly in
virtualized environments. This changes the trade off for flushing IOVAs
such that minimizing the number of IOTLB flushes trumps any benefit of
cheaper queuing operations or increased paralellism.

In this scenario per-CPU flush queues pose several problems. Firstly
per-CPU memory is often quite limited prohibiting larger queues.
Secondly collecting IOVAs per-CPU but flushing via a global timeout
reduces the number of IOVAs flushed for each timeout especially on s390
where PCI interrupts may not be bound to a specific CPU.

Let's introduce a single flush queue mode that reuses the same queue
logic but only allocates a single global queue. This mode can be
selected as a flag bit in a new dma_iommu_options struct which can be
modified from its defaults by IOMMU drivers implementing a new
ops.tune_dma_iommu() callback. As a first user the s390 IOMMU driver
selects the single queue mode if IOTLB flushes are needed on map which
indicates shadow table use. With the unchanged small FQ size and
timeouts this setting is worse than per-CPU queues but a follow up patch
will make the FQ size and timeout variable. Together this allows the
common IOVA flushing code to more closely resemble the global flush
behavior used on s390's previous internal DMA API implementation.

Nit: this should clearly just be a self-locked version of fq_ring_free() that takes fq as an argument, then both the new case and the existing loop body become trivial one-line calls.

I think for now this can just use a bit in dev_iommu to indicate that the device will prefer a global flush queue; s390 can set that in .probe_device, then iommu_dma_init_domain() can propagate it to an equivalent flag in the cookie (possibly even a new cookie type?) that iommu_dma_init_fq() can then consume. Then just make the s390 parameters from patch #6 the standard parameters for a global queue.

Thanks,
Robin.
