Subject: [PATCH RFC v1 0/6] swiotlb: 64-bit DMA buffer

This RFC is to introduce the 2nd swiotlb buffer for 64-bit DMA access.  The
prototype is based on v5.11-rc6.

The state of the art swiotlb pre-allocates <=32-bit memory in order to meet
the DMA mask requirement for some 32-bit legacy device. Considering most
devices nowadays support 64-bit DMA and IOMMU is available, the swiotlb is
not used for most of times, except:

1. The xen PVM domain requires the DMA addresses to both (1) <= the device
dma mask, and (2) continuous in machine address. Therefore, the 64-bit
device may still require swiotlb on PVM domain.

2. From source code the AMD SME/SEV will enable SWIOTLB_FORCE. As a result
it is always required to allocate from swiotlb buffer even the device dma
mask is 64-bit.

sme_early_init()
-> if (sev_active())
       swiotlb_force = SWIOTLB_FORCE;


Therefore, this RFC introduces the 2nd swiotlb buffer for 64-bit DMA
access.  For instance, the swiotlb_tbl_map_single() allocates from the 2nd
64-bit buffer if the device DMA mask min_not_zero(*hwdev->dma_mask,
hwdev->bus_dma_limit) is 64-bit.  With the RFC, the Xen/AMD will be able to
allocate >4GB swiotlb buffer.

With it being 64-bit, you can (not in this patch set but certainly
possible) allocate this at runtime. Meaning the size could change depending
on the device MMIO buffers, etc.


I have tested the patch set on Xen PVM dom0 boot via QEMU. The dom0 is boot
via:

qemu-system-x86_64 -smp 8 -m 20G -enable-kvm -vnc :9 \
-net nic -net user,hostfwd=tcp::5029-:22 \
-hda disk.img \
-device nvme,drive=nvme0,serial=deudbeaf1,max_ioqpairs=16 \
-drive file=test.qcow2,if=none,id=nvme0 \
-serial stdio

The "swiotlb=65536,1048576,force" is to configure 32-bit swiotlb as 128MB
and 64-bit swiotlb as 2048MB. The swiotlb is enforced.

While running fio for emulated-NVMe, the swiotlb is allocating from 64-bit
io_tlb_used-highmem.

I also tested virtio-scsi (with "disable-legacy=on,iommu_platform=true") on
VM with AMD SEV enabled.

The "swiotlb=65536,1048576" is to configure 32-bit swiotlb as 128MB and
64-bit swiotlb as 2048MB. We do not need to force swiotlb because AMD SEV
will set SWIOTLB_FORCE.
