Some LLDs may request DMA mappings whose IOVA length exceeds that of the

This means that allocations for those IOVAs will never be cached, and
always must be allocated and freed from the RB tree per DMA mapping cycle.
This has a significant effect on performance, more so since commit
4e89dce72521 ("iommu/iova: Retry from last rb tree node if iova search
fails"), as discussed at [0].

Allow the range of cached IOVAs to be increased, by providing an API to set
the upper limit, which is capped at IOVA_RANGE_CACHE_MAX_SIZE.

For simplicity, the full range of IOVA rcaches is allocated and initialized
at IOVA domain init time.

Setting the range upper limit will fail if the domain is already live
(before the tree contains IOVA nodes). This must be done to ensure any
IOVAs cached comply with rule of size being a power-of-2.

No.

And why? If we're going to allocate massive caches anyway, whatever is the point of *not* using all of them?


I wanted to keep the same effective threshold for devices today, unless set otherwise.

The reason is that I didn't know if a blanket increase would cause regressions, and I was taking the super-safe road. Specifically some systems may be very IOVA space limited, and just work today by not caching large IOVAs.

And in the precursor thread you wrote "We can't arbitrarily *increase* the scope of caching once a domain is active due to the size-rounding-up requirement, which would be prohibitive to larger allocations if applied universally" (sorry for quoting)

I took the last part to mean that we shouldn't apply this increase in threshold globally.

It only makes sense for a configuration knob to affect the actual rcache and depot allocations - that way, big high-throughput systems with plenty of memory can spend it on better performance, while small systems - that often need IOMMU scatter-gather precisely *because* memory is tight and thus easily fragmented - don't have to pay the (not insignificant) cost for caches they don't need.

So do you suggest to just make IOVA_RANGE_CACHE_MAX_SIZE a kconfig option?

Thanks,
John
