It splits invalidations into ^2 range invalidations in the patch
6d9cd115b(" hw/arm/smmuv3: Enforce invalidation on a power of two range").
So for some scenarios such as the size of invalidation is not ^2 range
invalidation, it costs more time to invalidate.
Currently smmuv3_translate is rarely used (i only see it is used when
binding msi), so i think maybe we can disable cached iotlb to promote
efficiency of invalidation. So add device property disable_cached_iotlb
to disable cached iotlb, and then we can send non-^2 range invalidation
directly.
Use tool dma_map_benchmark to have a test on the latency of unmap,
and we can see it promotes much on unmap when the size of invalidation
is not ^2 range invalidation (such as g = 7/15/31/511):
Hi. Can you send all patches to the qemu-devel list, please (you can
cc qemu-arm if you like)? The automated patch-handling tools and some
developers only read qemu-devel.
https://wiki.qemu.org/Contribute/SubmitAPatch has some more detail
on sending patches.
