[PATCH v6 0/6] DMA mapping changes for SCSI core

[PATCH v6 0/6] DMA mapping changes for SCSI core

[John Garry]

As reported in [0], DMA mappings whose size exceeds the IOMMU IOVA caching
limit may see a big performance hit.

This series introduces a new DMA mapping API, dma_opt_mapping_size(), so
that drivers may know this limit when performance is a factor in the
mapping.

The SCSI SAS transport code is modified only to use this limit. For now I
did not want to touch other hosts as I have a concern that this change
could cause a performance regression.

I also added a patch for libata-scsi as it does not currently honour the
shost max_sectors limit.

[0] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-iommu/20210129092120.1482-1-thunder.leizhen@huawei.com/

Changes since v5:
- Rebase to Linux 5.19-rc6
- Add Martin's tags to unmodified patches (thanks!)
- Apply DMA opt limit to max_sectors in sd driver, and not max_hw_sectors

Changes since v4:
- tweak libata and other patch titles
- Add Robin's tag (thanks!)
- Clarify description of new DMA mapping API

Changes since v3:
- Apply max DMA optimial limit to SAS hosts only
  Note: Even though "scsi: core: Cap shost max_sectors only once when
  adding" is a subset of a previous patch I did not transfer the RB tags
- Rebase on v5.19-rc4

[PATCH v6 1/6] dma-mapping: Add dma_opt_mapping_size()

[John Garry]

Streaming DMA mapping involving an IOMMU may be much slower for larger
total mapping size. This is because every IOMMU DMA mapping requires an
IOVA to be allocated and freed. IOVA sizes above a certain limit are not
cached, which can have a big impact on DMA mapping performance.

Provide an API for device drivers to know this "optimal" limit, such that
they may try to produce mapping which don't exceed it.

[PATCH v6 2/6] dma-iommu: Add iommu_dma_opt_mapping_size()

[John Garry]

Add the IOMMU callback for DMA mapping API dma_opt_mapping_size(), which
allows the drivers to know the optimal mapping limit and thus limit the
requested IOVA lengths.

This value is based on the IOVA rcache range limit, as IOVAs allocated
above this limit must always be newly allocated, which may be quite slow.

[PATCH v6 3/6] scsi: core: Cap shost max_sectors according to DMA limits only once

[John Garry]

The shost->max_sectors is repeatedly capped according to the host DMA
mapping limit for each sdev in __scsi_init_queue(). This is unnecessary, so
set only once when adding the host.

[PATCH v6 4/6] scsi: sd: Allow max_sectors be capped at DMA optimal size limit

[John Garry]

Streaming DMA mappings may be considerably slower when mappings go through
an IOMMU and the total mapping length is somewhat long. This is because the
IOMMU IOVA code allocates and free an IOVA for each mapping, which may
affect performance.

New member Scsi_Host.opt_sectors is added, which is the optimal host
max_sectors, and use this value to cap the request queue max_sectors when
set.

It could be considered to have request queues io_opt value initially
set at Scsi_Host.opt_sectors in __scsi_init_queue(), but that is not
really the purpose of io_opt.

Finally, even though Scsi_Host.opt_sectors value should never be greater
than the request queue max_hw_sectors value, continue to limit to this
value for safety.

[PATCH v6 6/6] ata: libata-scsi: Cap ata_device->max_sectors according to shost->max_sectors

[John Garry]

ATA devices (struct ata_device) have a max_sectors field which is
configured internally in libata. This is then used to (re)configure the
associated sdev request queue max_sectors value from how it is earlier set
in __scsi_init_queue(). In __scsi_init_queue() the max_sectors value is set
according to shost limits, which includes host DMA mapping limits.

Cap the ata_device max_sectors according to shost->max_sectors to respect
this shost limit.

Christoph has now applied this (thanks, BTW), so would you like me to 
follow up with a patch on top with a comment?

Thanks,

ok, fine, I'll do it now.

Just saying in case it's an issue - I was looking at 
http://git.infradead.org/users/hch/dma-mapping.git/log/refs/heads/for-next 
and the order is not the same as this series and would cause an 
intermediate build breakage at 9f5ec52ae501 ("scsi: scsi_transport_sas: 
cap shost opt_sectors according to DMA optimal limit")

Cheers,
John

No idea what git-am did there, I've fixed it up now.
