Hi Yunfei,

Since __alloc_and_insert_iova_range fail will set the current alloc
iova size to max32_alloc_size (iovad->max32_alloc_size = size),
when the retry is executed into the __alloc_and_insert_iova_range
function, the retry action will be blocked by the check condition
(size >= iovad->max32_alloc_size) and goto iova32_full directly,
causes the action of retry regular alloc iova in
__alloc_and_insert_iova_range to not actually be executed.

Based on the above, so need reset max32_alloc_size before retry alloc
iova when alloc iova fail, that is set the initial dma_32bit_pfn value
of iovad to max32_alloc_size, so that the action of retry alloc iova
in __alloc_and_insert_iova_range can be executed.

Have you observed this making any difference in practice?

Given that both free_cpu_cached_iovas() and free_global_cached_iovas()
call iova_magazine_free_pfns(), which calls remove_iova(), which calls
__cached_rbnode_delete_update(), I'm thinking no...

Robin.


Like Robin pointed out, if some cached iovas are freed by
free_global_cached_iovas()/free_cpu_cached_iovas(),
the max32_alloc_size should be reset to iovad->dma_32bit_pfn.

If no cached iova is freed, resetting max32_alloc_size before
the retry allocation only give us a retry. Is it possible that
other users free their iovas during the additional retry?

No, it's not possible, since everyone's serialised by iova_rbtree_lock. If the caches were already empty and the retry gets the lock first, it will still fail again - forcing a reset of max32_alloc_size only means it has to take the slow path to that failure. If another caller *did* manage to get in and free something between free_global_cached_iovas() dropping the lock and alloc_iova() re-taking it, then that would have legitimately reset max32_alloc_size anyway.

Thanks,
Robin.

alloc_iova_fast()
   retry:
     alloc_iova() // failed, iovad->max32_alloc_size = size
     free_cpu_cached_iovas()
       iova_magazine_free_pfns()
         remove_iova()
	  __cached_rbnode_delete_update()
	    iovad->max32_alloc_size = iovad->dma_32bit_pfn // reset
     free_global_cached_iovas()
       iova_magazine_free_pfns()
         remove_iova()
	  __cached_rbnode_delete_update()
	    iovad->max32_alloc_size = iovad->dma_32bit_pfn // reset
     goto retry;

thanks,
Miles
