Subject: [PATCH 0/5] iommu/s390: Further improvements

Hi All,

This series of patches improves the s390 IOMMU driver. These improvements help
existing IOMMU users, mainly vfio-pci, but at the same time are also in
preparation of converting s390 to use the common DMA API implementation in
drivers/iommu/dma-iommu.c instead of its platform specific DMA API in
arch/s390/pci/pci_dma.c that sidesteps the IOMMU driver to control the same
hardware interface directly.

Among the included changes patch 1 improves the robustness of switching IOMMU
domains and patch 2 adds the I/O TLB operations necessary for the DMA API
conversion. Patches 3, 4, and 5 aim to improve performance with patch 5 being
the most intrusive by removing the I/O translation table lock and using atomic
updates instead.

This series goes on top of v7 of my previous series of IOMMU fixes[0] and
similarly is available for easy testing in the iommu_improve_v1 branch with
signed tag s390_iommu_improve_v1 of my git.kernel.org tree[1].

Best regards,
Niklas Schnelle

Niklas Schnelle (5):
  iommu/s390: Make attach succeed even if the device is in error state
  iommu/s390: Add I/O TLB ops
  iommu/s390: Use RCU to allow concurrent domain_list iteration
  iommu/s390: Optimize IOMMU table walking
  s390/pci: use lock-free I/O translation updates
