Subject: [PATCH 5.4 16/16] scsi: target: tcmu: Optimize use of flush_dcache_page

From: Bodo Stroesser <bstroesser@...fujitsu.com>

commit 3c58f737231e2c8cbf543a09d84d8c8e80e05e43 upstream.

(scatter|gather)_data_area() need to flush dcache after writing data to or
before reading data from a page in uio data area.  The two routines are
able to handle data transfer to/from such a page in fragments and flush the
cache after each fragment was copied by calling the wrapper
tcmu_flush_dcache_range().

That means:

1) flush_dcache_page() can be called multiple times for the same page.

2) Calling flush_dcache_page() indirectly using the wrapper does not make
   sense, because each call of the wrapper is for one single page only and
   the calling routine already has the correct page pointer.

Change (scatter|gather)_data_area() such that, instead of calling
tcmu_flush_dcache_range() before/after each memcpy, it now calls
flush_dcache_page() before unmapping a page (when writing is complete for
that page) or after mapping a page (when starting to read the page).

After this change only calls to tcmu_flush_dcache_range() for addresses in
vmalloc'ed command ring are left over.

The patch was tested on ARM with kernel 4.19.118 and 5.7.2
