Subject[RFC PATCH V3 0/2] swiotlb: Add child io tlb mem support
Date
From: Tianyu Lan <Tianyu.Lan@microsoft.com>

Traditionally swiotlb was not performance critical because it was only
used for slow devices. But in some setups, like TDX/SEV confidential
guests, all IO has to go through swiotlb. Currently swiotlb only has a
single lock. Under high IO load with multiple CPUs this can lead to
significant lock contention on the swiotlb lock.

This patch adds child IO TLB mem support to resolve spinlock overhead
among device's queues. Each device may allocate IO tlb mem and setup
child IO TLB mem according to queue number. The number child IO tlb
mem maybe set up equal with device queue number and this helps to resolve
swiotlb spinlock overhead among devices and queues.

introduces IO TLB Block concepts and swiotlb_device_allocate()
API to allocate per-device swiotlb bounce buffer. The new API Accepts
queue number as the number of child IO TLB mem to set up device's IO
TLB mem.

Patch 2 calls new allocation function in the netvsc driver to resolve
global spin lock issue.

net: netvsc: Allocate per-device swiotlb bounce buffer for netvsc
