The current __arm_lpae_unmap() function calls dma_sync() on individual
PTEs after clearing them. By updating the __arm_lpae_unmap() to call
dma_sync() once for all cleared PTEs, the overall performance can be
improved 25% for large buffer sizes.
Below is detailed analysis of average unmap latency(in us) with and
without this optimization obtained by running dma_map_benchmark for
different buffer sizes.

4KB 3.0 3.1 -3.33
1MB 250.3 187.9 24.93
This seems highly suspect - the smallest possible block size is 2MB so a
1MB unmap should not be affected by this path at all.
It will be unmapped at 4KB block size, right? The 'size' passed to
__arm_lpae_unmap will be 4KB and 'pgcount' will be 256 for 1MB
buffer from iommu_pgsize() unless the IOVA and phys address met
conditions for next bigger size i.e., 2MB.
2MB 493.7 368.7 25.32
4MB 974.7 723.4 25.78
I'm guessing this is on Tegra with the workaround to force everything to
PAGE_SIZE? In the normal case a 2MB unmap should be nominally *faster*
than 4KB, since it would also be a single PTE, but with one fewer level
of table to walk to reach it. The 25% figure is rather misleading if
it's only a mitigation of an existing erratum workaround, and the actual
impact on the majority of non-broken systems is unmeasured.
Yes, I forgot about the workaround we have and agree that without the
workaround, 2MB unmap will be faster without this optimization. But
for any size between 4KB and 2MB, this optimization would help in
improving the unmap latencies. To verify that, I reverted the workaround
and again got unmap latencies using dma_map_benchmark which are as
mentioned below. We can see an improvement around 20% to 25%:
Size Time WO Opt(us) Time With Opt(us) % improvement
4KB 3 3.1 -3.33
64KB 18.6 15 19.36
128KB 35.2 27.7 21.31
256KB 67.6 52.6 22.19
512KB 128.4 97.7 23.91
1MB 249.9 188.1 24.72
2MB 67.4 67.5 -0.15
4MB 121.3 121.2 0.08
(As an aside, I think that workaround itself is a bit broken, since at
least on Tegra234 with Cortex-A78, PAGE_SIZE could be 16KB which MMU-500
doesn't support.)
Yes, that's true. For 16KB PAGE_SIZE, we need to fall back to 4KB
pgsize_bitmap.

kvmalloc() with GFP_ATOMIC isn't valid. However, I'm not sure if there
isn't a more fundamental problem here - Rob, Boris; was it just the map
path, or would any allocation on unmap risk the GPU reclaim deadlock
thing as well?
I am using kvmalloc() here to create an array which is used to store PTEs
that are going to be flushed after clearing. If we don't store them then
those will be lost once cleared and we won't be able to flush them.
I tried using GFP_KERNEL instead of GFP_ATOMIC but then I am getting
warning from might_sleep().
Is there any other alternative way we can use here to store the PTEs?
Thanks,
Robin.

Hi all,
Can you please provide feedback on this patch? Is this optimization
worth pursuing?
Thanks,
