Some of our NICs have poor performance after heavy traffic impact. We 
found that it maybe caused by a large number of 1-2 order IOVA SAC 
address applications to make SAC address space fragmentation during 
taffic impact, which in turn causes some 3 order IOVA SAC address 
applications to fail. Kernel will try DAC address and release it into 
rcache. After the traffic recovery, and SAC address space recovery from 
fragmentation, but due to the existence of several DAC PFN on the cache 
of a certain CPU,  which will broken the usage of rcache for SAC address 
application. As a result, kernel will enter alloc_iova() slow path 
frequencely and performance is poor. So I think this issue should be not 
too much of a broken hardware or driver,  but they maybe can also be 
optimized.
