[PATCH 0/4] iommu/arm-smmu-v3: Improve cmdq lock efficiency
From: John Garry
Date: Mon Jun 22 2020 - 13:32:55 EST
As mentioned in [0], the CPU may consume many cycles processing
arm_smmu_cmdq_issue_cmdlist(). One issue we find is the cmpxchg() loop to
get space on the queue takes approx 25% of the cycles for this function.
This series removes that cmpxchg().
For my NVMe test with 3x NVMe SSDs, I'm getting a ~24% throughput
increase:
Before: 1310 IOPs
After: 1630 IOPs
I also have a test harness to check the rate of DMA map+unmaps we can
achieve:
CPU count 32 64 128
Before: 63187 19418 10169
After: 93287 44789 15862
(unit is map+unmaps per CPU per second)
