[PATCH v3 5/6] iommu/amd: Tailored gather logic for AMD

From: Nadav Amit
Date: Mon Jun 07 2021 - 21:56:18 EST


From: Nadav Amit <namit@xxxxxxxxxx>

AMD's IOMMU can flush efficiently (i.e., in a single flush) any range.
This is in contrast, for instnace, to Intel IOMMUs that have a limit on
the number of pages that can be flushed in a single flush. In addition,
AMD's IOMMU do not care about the page-size, so changes of the page size
do not need to trigger a TLB flush.

So in most cases, a TLB flush due to disjoint range or page-size changes
are not needed for AMD. Yet, vIOMMUs require the hypervisor to
synchronize the virtualized IOMMU's PTEs with the physical ones. This
process induce overheads, so it is better not to cause unnecessary
flushes, i.e., flushes of PTEs that were not modified.

Implement and use amd_iommu_iotlb_gather_add_page() and use it instead
of the generic iommu_iotlb_gather_add_page(). Ignore page-size changes
and disjoint regions unless "non-present cache" feature is reported by
the IOMMU capabilities, as this is an indication we are running on a
physical IOMMU. A similar indication is used by VT-d (see "caching
mode"). The new logic retains the same flushing behavior that we had
before the introduction of page-selective IOTLB flushes for AMD.

On virtualized environments, check if the newly flushed region and the
gathered one are disjoint and flush if it is. Also check whether the new
region would cause IOTLB invalidation of large region that would include
unmodified PTE. The latter check is done according to the "order" of the
IOTLB flush.
