[PATCH net-next 3/7] iommu/dma: avoid expensive indirect calls for sync operations

From: Alexander Lobakin
Date: Fri Jan 26 2024 - 08:57:09 EST


From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx>

Use the new dma_map_ops::can_skip_sync() callback in IOMMU DMA. It is
enough to check only for the DMA coherence, as SWIOTLB is checked
dynamically later.

perf profile before the patch:

18.53% [kernel] [k] gq_rx_skb
14.77% [kernel] [k] napi_reuse_skb
8.95% [kernel] [k] skb_release_data
5.42% [kernel] [k] dev_gro_receive
5.37% [kernel] [k] memcpy
<*> 5.26% [kernel] [k] iommu_dma_sync_sg_for_cpu
4.78% [kernel] [k] tcp_gro_receive
<*> 4.42% [kernel] [k] iommu_dma_sync_sg_for_device
4.12% [kernel] [k] ipv6_gro_receive
3.65% [kernel] [k] gq_pool_get
3.25% [kernel] [k] skb_gro_receive
2.07% [kernel] [k] napi_gro_frags
1.98% [kernel] [k] tcp6_gro_receive
1.27% [kernel] [k] gq_rx_prep_buffers
1.18% [kernel] [k] gq_rx_napi_handler
0.99% [kernel] [k] csum_partial
0.74% [kernel] [k] csum_ipv6_magic
0.72% [kernel] [k] free_pcp_prepare
0.60% [kernel] [k] __napi_poll
0.58% [kernel] [k] net_rx_action
0.56% [kernel] [k] read_tsc
<*> 0.50% [kernel] [k] __x86_indirect_thunk_r11
0.45% [kernel] [k] memset

After patch, lines with <*> no longer show up, and overall
cpu usage looks much better (~60% instead of ~72%)

25.56% [kernel] [k] gq_rx_skb
9.90% [kernel] [k] napi_reuse_skb
7.39% [kernel] [k] dev_gro_receive
6.78% [kernel] [k] memcpy
6.53% [kernel] [k] skb_release_data
6.39% [kernel] [k] tcp_gro_receive
5.71% [kernel] [k] ipv6_gro_receive
4.35% [kernel] [k] napi_gro_frags
4.34% [kernel] [k] skb_gro_receive
3.50% [kernel] [k] gq_pool_get
3.08% [kernel] [k] gq_rx_napi_handler
2.35% [kernel] [k] tcp6_gro_receive
2.06% [kernel] [k] gq_rx_prep_buffers
1.32% [kernel] [k] csum_partial
0.93% [kernel] [k] csum_ipv6_magic
0.65% [kernel] [k] net_rx_action

iavf yields +10% of Mpps on Rx. This also unblocks batch allocations
of XSk buffers when IOMMU is active.
