Currently, the virtio core will perform a dma operation for each buffer. Although, the same page may be operated multiple times. In premapped mod, we can perform only one dma operation for the pages of the alloc frag. This is beneficial for the iommu device. kernel command line: intel_iommu=on iommu.passthrough=0 | strict=0 | strict=1 Before | 775496pps | 428614pps After | 1109316pps | 742853pps In the 6.11, we disabled this feature because a regress [1]. Now, we fix the problem and re-enable it.
