[PATCH v2 0/2] iommu/virtio: Enable IOMMU_CAP_DERRED_FLUSH

From: Niklas Schnelle
Date: Mon Sep 18 2023 - 07:53:02 EST


Hi All,

Previously I used virtio-iommu as a non-s390x test vehicle[0] for the
single queue flushing scheme introduced by my s390x DMA API conversion
series[1]. For this I modified virtio-iommu to a) use .iotlb_sync_map
and b) enable IOMMU_CAP_DEFERRED_FLUSH. It turned out that deferred
flush and even just the introduction of ops->iotlb_sync_map yield
performance uplift[2] even with per-CPU queues. So here is a small
series of these two changes. This still applies on top of my series[1]
because its first patch titled "iommu: Allow .iotlb_sync_map to fail and
handle s390's -ENOMEM return" enable ops->iotlb_sync_map to return
errors and virtio-iommu's sync can fail. This also makes sure there is
no merge conflict with that series.

The code is also available on the b4/viommu-deferred-flush branch of my
kernel.org git repository[3]

Thanks,
Niklas
