[PATCH v3] vfio/type1: Adopt fast IOTLB flush interface when unmap IOVAs

From: Suravee Suthikulpanit
Date: Sun Jan 21 2018 - 23:30:50 EST


VFIO IOMMU type1 currently upmaps IOVA pages synchronously, which requires
IOTLB flushing for every unmapping. This results in large IOTLB flushing
overhead when handling pass-through devices has a large number of mapped
IOVAs (e.g. GPUs). This could also cause IOTLB invalidate time-out issue
on AMD IOMMU with certain dGPUs.

This can be avoided by using the new IOTLB flushing interface.

Changes from V2: (https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/12/27/43)

* In vfio_unmap_unpin(), fallback to use slow IOTLB flush
when fast IOTLB flush fails (per Alex).

* Do not adopt fast IOTLB flush in map_try_harder().

* Submit VFIO and AMD IOMMU patches separately.
