Subject: [bug report] iommu_dma_unmap_sg() is very slow then running IO from
 remote numa node

Hello,

I observed that NVMe performance is very bad when running fio on one
CPU(aarch64) in remote numa node compared with the nvme pci numa node.

Please see the test result[1] 327K vs. 34.9K.

Latency trace shows that one big difference is in iommu_dma_unmap_sg(),
1111 nsecs vs 25437 nsecs.


[1] fio test & results

1) fio test result:

- run fio on local CPU
taskset -c 0 ~/git/tools/test/nvme/io_uring 10 1 /dev/nvme1n1 4k
+ fio --bs=4k --ioengine=io_uring --fixedbufs --registerfiles --hipri --iodepth=64 --iodepth_batch_submit=16 --iodepth_batch_complete_min=16 --filename=/dev/nvme1n1 --direct=1 --runtime=10 --numjobs=1 --rw=randread --name=test --group_reporting

IOPS: 327K
avg latency of iommu_dma_unmap_sg(): 1111 nsecs


- run fio on remote CPU
taskset -c 80 ~/git/tools/test/nvme/io_uring 10 1 /dev/nvme1n1 4k
+ fio --bs=4k --ioengine=io_uring --fixedbufs --registerfiles --hipri --iodepth=64 --iodepth_batch_submit=16 --iodepth_batch_complete_min=16 --filename=/dev/nvme1n1 --direct=1 --runtime=10 --numjobs=1 --rw=randread --name=test --group_reporting

IOPS: 34.9K
avg latency of iommu_dma_unmap_sg(): 25437 nsecs
