My understanding is that iova cache entries may be smaller than IOVA_RANGE_CACHE_MAX_SIZE and hence that even if code that uses the DMA mapping API respects this limit that a cache miss can still happen.

Sure, a cache miss may still happen - however once we have stressed the system for a while then the rcaches fill up and don't fail often, or often enough to be noticeable compared to not having a cached IOVAs at all.

Thanks,
