This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled iommu: Fix a boundary issue to avoid performance drop to the 5.10-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: iommu-fix-a-boundary-issue-to-avoid-performance-drop.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.10 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 993c67f534b1ec74000a4f7cae507fc55be06641 Author: Xiang Chen <chenxiang66@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Mar 25 11:38:24 2021 +0800 iommu: Fix a boundary issue to avoid performance drop [ Upstream commit 3431c3f660a39f6ced954548a59dba6541ce3eb1 ] After the change of patch ("iommu: Switch gather->end to the inclusive end"), the performace drops from 1600+K IOPS to 1200K in our kunpeng ARM64 platform. We find that the range [start1, end1) actually is joint from the range [end1, end2), but it is considered as disjoint after the change, so it needs more times of TLB sync, and spends more time on it. So fix the boundary issue to avoid performance drop.
