From: Petr Tesarik <petr.tesarik.ext@huawei.com>
The software IO TLB was designed with the assumption that it is not
used much, especially on 64-bit systems, so a small fixed memory
area (currently 64 MiB) is sufficient to handle the few cases which
still require a bounce buffer. However, these cases are not so rare
in some circumstances.
First, if SEV is active, all DMA must be done through shared
unencrypted pages, and SWIOTLB is used to make this happen without
changing device drivers. The software IO TLB size is increased to 6%
of total memory in sev_setup_arch(), but that is more of an
approximation. The actual requirements may vary depending on which
drivers are used and the amount of I/O.
Second, some embedded devices have very little RAM, so 64 MiB is not
negligible. Sadly, these are exactly the devices that also often
need a software IO TLB. Although minimum swiotlb size can be found
empirically by extensive testing, it would be easier to allocate a
small swiotlb at boot and let it grow on demand.
Growing the SWIOTLB data structures at run time is impossible. The
whole SWIOTLB region is contiguous in physical memory to allow
combining adjacent slots and also to ensure that alignment
constraints can be met. The SWIOTLB is too big for the buddy
allocator (cf. MAX_ORDER). More importantly, even if a new SWIOTLB
could be allocated (e.g. from CMA), it cannot be extended in-place
(because surrounding pages may be already allocated for other
purposes), and there is no mechanism for relocating already mapped
bounce buffers: The DMA API gets only the address of a buffer, and
the implementation (direct or IOMMU) checks whether it belongs to
the software IO TLB.
It is possible to allocate multiple smaller struct io_tlb_mem
instances. However, they would have to be stored in a non-constant
container (list or tree), which needs synchronization between
readers and writers, creating contention in a hot path for all
devices, not only those which need software IO TLB.
Another option is to allocate a very large SWIOTLB at boot, but
allow migrating pages to other users (like CMA does). This approach
might work, but there are many open issues:
1. After a page is migrated away from SWIOTLB, it must not be used
as a (direct) DMA buffer. Otherwise SWIOTLB code would have to
check which pages have been migrated to determine whether a given
buffer address belongs to a bounce buffer or not, effectively
introducing all the issues of multiple SWIOTLB instances.
2. Unlike SWIOTLB, CMA cannot be used from atomic contexts, and that
for many different reasons. This might be changed in theory, but
it would take a lot of investigation and time. OTOH improvement
to the SWIOTLB is needed now.
3. If SWIOTLB is implemented separately from CMA and not as its
part, users have to solve the dilemma of how to distribute
precious DMA-able memory between them.
The present patch is a simplistic solution. Bounce buffers are
allocated using the non-coherent DMA API, removing the need to
implement a new custom allocator. These buffers are then tracked in
a per-device linked list, reducing the impact on devices that do not
need the SWIOTLB.
Analysis of real-world I/O patterns has shown that the same buffer
is typically looked up repeatedly (for further sync operations, or
to be unmapped). The most recently used bounce buffer is therefore
always moved to the beginning of the list. The list performed better
than a maple tree when tested with fio against a QEMU SATA drive
backed by a RAM block device in the host (4 cores, 16 iodepth).
Other scenarios are also likely to benefit from this MRU order but
have not been tested.
Operations on the list are serialized with a spinlock. It is
unfortunately not possible to use an RCU list, because quiescent
state is not guaranteed to happen before an asynchronous event (e.g.
hardware interrupt) on another CPU. If that CPU used an old version
of the list, it would fail to copy data to and/or from the newly
allocated bounce buffer.
Last but not least, bounce buffers are never allocated dynamically
if the SWIOTLB is in fact a DMA restricted pool, because that would
defeat the purpose of a restricted pool.
