There is no need to synchronize the account updating, so
use the relaxed atomic to avoid some memory barrier in the
data path.

If the DMA_ATTR_SKIP_CPU_SYNC is not set, cpu syncing is
also done in dma_map_page_attrs(), so set the attrs according
to pool->p.flags to avoid calling cpu sync function again.

Isn't DMA_ATTR_SKIP_CPU_SYNC checked within dma_map_page_attrs() anyway?

Yes, the checking in dma_map_page_attrs() should save us from
calling dma_sync_single_for_device() again if we set the attrs
according to "pool->p.flags & PP_FLAG_DMA_SYNC_DEV".

As dma_sync_single_for_device() is EXPORT_SYMBOL()'ed, and
should be a no-op for dma coherent device, so there may be a
function calling overhead for dma coherent device, letting
dma_map_page_attrs() handling the sync seems to avoid the stack
pushing/poping overhead:

https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/source/kernel/dma/direct.h#L104

The one thing I am not sure about is that the pool->p.offset
and pool->p.max_len are used to decide the sync range before this
patch, while the sync range is the same as the map range when doing
the sync in dma_map_page_attrs().

I assumed the above is not a issue? only sync more than we need?
and it won't hurt the performance?

But we aren't syncing anything right now when we allocate the pages since
this is called with DMA_ATTR_SKIP_CPU_SYNC. We are syncing the allocated
range on the end of the function, if the pool was created and was requested
to take care of the mappings for us.

I am not sure I am following here. We always sync the entire range as well
in the current code as the mapping function is called with max_len.

We can sync more than we need, but if it's a non-coherent architecture,
there's a performance penalty.

Since I do not have any performance data to prove if there is a
performance penalty for non-coherent architecture, I will drop it:)

Hi Yunsheng,

+cc Lorenzo, which has done some tests on non-coherent platforms

I am pretty sure it does affect it.  Unless I am missing something the
patch simply re-arranges calls to avoid calling dma_map_page_attrs()
right?
However since dma_map_page_attrs() won't do anything sync-related
since it's called with DMA_ATTR_SKIP_CPU_SYNC, I doubt calling it will
have any measurable difference.  If there is, we should pick it up.
