Hi Robin,

So then we have the issue of how to dynamically increase this rcache
threshold. The problem is that we may have many devices associated with
the same domain. So, in theory, we can't assume that when we increase
the threshold that some other device will try to fast free an IOVA which
was allocated prior to the increase and was not rounded up.

I'm very open to better (or less bad) suggestions on how to do this ...
...but yes, regardless of exactly where it happens, rounding up or not
is the problem for rcaches in general. I've said several times that my
preferred approach is to not change it that dynamically at all, but
instead treat it more like we treat the default domain type.


Can you remind me of that idea? I don't remember you mentioning using default domain handling as a reference in any context.

Thanks,
John
