[PATCH v2 0/7] iommu/iova: improve the allocation performance of dma64

[Zhen Lei]

v1 -> v2:
Because the problem of my email-server, all patches sent to Joerg Roedel <joro@xxxxxxxxxx> failed.
So I repost all these patches again, there is no changes.

v1:
64 bits devices is very common now. But currently we only defined a cached32_node
to optimize the allocation performance of dma32, and I saw some dma64 drivers chose
to allocate iova from dma32 space first, maybe becuase of current dma64 performance
problem or some other reasons.

For example:(in drivers/iommu/amd_iommu.c)
static unsigned long dma_ops_alloc_iova(......
{
	......
	if (dma_mask > DMA_BIT_MASK(32))
		pfn = alloc_iova_fast(&dma_dom->iovad, pages,
				      IOVA_PFN(DMA_BIT_MASK(32)));
	if (!pfn)
		pfn = alloc_iova_fast(&dma_dom->iovad, pages, IOVA_PFN(dma_mask));
		
For the details of why dma64 iova allocation performance is very bad, please refer the
description of patch-5.

In this patch series, I added a cached64_node to manage the dma64 iova space(iova>=4G), it
takes the same effect as cached32_node(iova<4G).

Below it's the performance data before and after my patch series:
