Subject: [PATCH v10 0/6] iommu/dma: s390 DMA API conversion and optimized
 IOTLB flushing

Hi All,

This patch series converts s390's PCI support from its platform specific DMA
API implementation in arch/s390/pci/pci_dma.c to the common DMA IOMMU layer.
The conversion itself is done in patches 3-4 with patch 2 providing the final
necessary IOMMU driver improvement to handle s390's special IOTLB flush
out-of-resource indication in virtualized environments. Patches 1-2 may be
applied independently. The conversion itself only touches the s390 IOMMU driver
and s390 arch code moving over remaining functions from the s390 DMA API
implementation. No changes to common code are necessary.

After patch 4 the basic conversion is done and on our partitioning machine
hypervisor LPAR performance matches or exceeds the existing code. When running
under z/VM or KVM however, performance plummets to about half of the existing
code due to a much higher rate of IOTLB flushes for unmapped pages. Due to the
hypervisors use of IOTLB flushes to synchronize their shadow tables these are
very expensive and minimizing them is key for regaining the performance loss.

To this end patches 5-6 add a new, single queue, IOTLB flushing scheme as
an alternative to the existing per-CPU flush queues. Introducing an alternative
scheme was also suggested by Robin Murphy[1]. In the previous RFC of this
conversion Robin suggested reusing more of the existing queuing logic which
I incorporated since v2. The single queue mode is introduced in patch
5 together with a new .shadow_on_flush flag bit in struct dev_iommu
which allows IOMMU drivers to indicate that thier IOTLB flushes do the
extra work of shadowing and triggering the dma-iommu code to use single
queue mode.

Then patch 6 enables variable queue sizes using power of 2 queue sizes
and shift/mask to keep performance as close to the existing code as
possible. A larger queue size and timeout is then also used by dma-iommu
when shadow_on_flush is set. This same scheme may also be used by other
IOMMU drivers with similar requirements. Particularly virtio-iommu may be
a candidate.

In a previous version I verified that the new scheme does work on my x86_64
Ryzen workstation by locally modifying iommu_subsys_init() to default to the
single queue mode and verifying its use via "/sys/.../iommu_group/type". I did
not find problems with an AMD GPU, Intel NIC (with SR-IOV and KVM
pass-through), NVMes or any on board peripherals.

This code is also available in the b4/dma_iommu topic branch of my
git.kernel.org repository[3] with tags the version sent.

NOTE: Due to the large drop in performance I think we should not merge the DMA
API conversion (patch 4) until we have a more suited IOVA flushing scheme
with similar improvements as the proposed changes.

Best regards,
Niklas

Changes in v10:
- Rebased on v6.4-rc3
- Removed the .tune_dma_iommu() op in favor of a .shadow_on_flush flag
  in struct dev_iommu which then let's the dma-iommu choose a single
  queue and larger timeouts and IOVA counts. This leaves the dma-iommu
  with full responsibility for the settings.
- The above change affects patches 5 and 6 and lead to a new subject for
  patch 6 since the flush queue size and timeout is no longer driver
  controlled
- Link to v9: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230310-dma_iommu-v9-0-65bb8edd2beb@linux.ibm.com

Changes in v9:
- Rebased on v6.4-rc2
- Re-ordered iommu_group_store_type() to allow passing the device to
  iommu_dma_init_fq()
- Link to v8: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230310-dma_iommu-v8-0-2347dfbed7af@linux.ibm.com
