[PATCH for-5.2 v4 00/11] SMMUv3.2 Range-based TLB Invalidation Support

[Eric Auger]

SMMU3.2 brings the support of range-based TLB invalidation and
level hint. When this feature is supported, the SMMUv3 driver
is allowed to send TLB invalidations for a range of IOVAs instead
of using page based invalidation.

Implementing this feature in the virtual SMMUv3 device is
mandated for DPDK on guest use case: DPDK uses hugepage
buffers and guest sends invalidations for blocks. Without
this feature, a guest invalidation of a block of 1GB for instance
translates into a storm of page invalidations. Each of them
is trapped by the VMM and cascaded downto the physical IOMMU.
This completely stalls the execution. This integration issue
was initially reported in [1].

Now SMMUv3.2 specifies additional parameters to NH_VA and NH_VAA
stage 1 invalidation commands so we can support those extensions.

Supporting block mappings in the IOTLB look sensible in terms of
TLB entry consumption. However looking at virtio/vhost device usage,
without block mapping and without range invalidation (< 5.7 kernels
it may be less performant. However for recent guest kernels
supporting range invalidations [2], the performance should be similar.

Best Regards

Eric

6a481a95d4c1 iommu/arm-smmu-v3: Add SMMUv3.2 range invalidation support

History:

v3 -> v4:
- use tg in hash function and directly compare key fields in the
  equal function
- don't claim 3.2 as we don't have BBML support yet
- fixed a bunch of indent issues

v2 -> v3:
- restore the Jenkins hash function and keep the key as a struct
- simplify the logic in smmu_hash_remove_by_asid_iova
- added HAD support
- expose AIDR (advertise v3.2 support) and fix IIDR offset

v1 -> v2:
- added "hw/arm/smmu: Introduce smmu_get_iotlb_key()"
- removed "[PATCH 5/9] hw/arm/smmuv3: Store the starting level in
  SMMUTransTableInfo"
- Collected Peter's R-b
- In this version the key still features TG/LVL.
- More details in individual history logs
