[Patch v3 0/3] iommu: reduce spinlock contention on fast path

From: Cong Wang
Date: Tue Dec 17 2019 - 23:40:21 EST


This patchset contains three small optimizations for the global spinlock
contention in IOVA cache. Our memcache perf test shows this reduced its
p999 latency down by 45% on AMD when IOMMU is enabled.

(Resending v3 on Joerg's request.)

Cong Wang (3):
iommu: avoid unnecessary magazine allocations
iommu: optimize iova_magazine_free_pfns()
iommu: avoid taking iova_rbtree_lock twice

v3: improve changelog, no code change
v2: fix a memory leak
