I'm probably not explaining myself clearly, but I guess i'm thinking: a) today for strict, unmap is in the critical path and it's important to get it out of there. Getting it out of the critical path is so important that we're willing to over-invalidate to speed up the critical path. b) today for non-strict, unmap is not in the critical path. So I would almost expect your patch to _disable_ your new feature for non-strict mappings, not auto-enable your new feature for non-strict mappings. If I'm babbling, feel free to ignore. ;-) Looking back, I guess Robin was the one that suggested the behavior you're implementing, so it's more likely he's right than I am. ;-) Thanks for taking a look. Non-strict mode is only for leaf entries and dma domains and this optimization is for non-leaf entries and is applicable for both, see __arm_lpae_unmap(). In other words, if you have iommu.strict=0 (non-strict mode) and try unmapping a large sg buffer as the problem described in the commit text, you would still go via this path in unmap and see the delay without this patch. So what Robin suggested is that, let's do this unconditionally for all users with non-strict mode as opposed to only restricting it to implementation specific in case of strict mode. Right, unmapping tables works out as a bit of a compromise for non-strict mode - we don't use a freelist to defer the freeing of pagetable pages, so we rely on making non-leaf invalidations synchronously to knock out walk caches which may be pointing to the page beforte we free it. We might actually be able to get away without that for non-strict unmaps, since partial walks pointing at freed memory probably aren't too much more hazardous than the equivalent leaf TLB entries while the IOVA region is held in the flush queue, but it certainly does matter for maps when we're knocking out a (presumably empty) table entry to put down a new block whose IOVA will be immediately live.

[PATCHv2 2/3] iommu/io-pgtable: Optimize partial walk flush for large scatter-gather list
Currently for iommu_unmap() of large scatter-gather list with page size
elements, the majority of time is spent in flushing of partial walks in
__arm_lpae_unmap() which is a VA based TLB invalidation invalidating
page-by-page on iommus like arm-smmu-v2 (TLBIVA) which do not support
range based invalidations like on arm-smmu-v3.2.
For example: to unmap a 32MB scatter-gather list with page size elements
(8192 entries), there are 16->2MB buffer unmaps based on the pgsize (2MB
for 4K granule) and each of 2MB will further result in 512 TLBIVAs (2MB/4K)
resulting in a total of 8192 TLBIVAs (512*16) for 16->2MB causing a huge
overhead.
So instead use tlb_flush_all() callback (TLBIALL/TLBIASID) to invalidate
the entire context for partial walk flush on select few platforms where
cost of over-invalidation is less than unmap latency using the newly
introduced quirk IO_PGTABLE_QUIRK_TLB_INV_ALL. We also do this for
non-strict mode given its all about over-invalidation saving time on
individual unmaps and non-deterministic generally.
For this example of 32MB scatter-gather list unmap, this results in just
16 ASID based TLB invalidations (TLBIASIDs) as opposed to 8192 TLBIVAs
thereby increasing the performance of unmaps drastically.
Test on QTI SM8150 SoC for 10 iterations of iommu_{map_sg}/unmap:
(average over 10 iterations)
Before this optimization:
sizeiommu_map_sg iommu_unmap
4K2.067 us 1.854 us
64K9.598 us 8.802 us
1M 148.890 us 130.718 us
2M 305.864 us67.291 us
12M 1793.604 us 390.838 us
16M 2386.848 us 518.187 us
24M 3563.296 us 775.989 us
32M 4747.171 us 1033.364 us
After this optimization:
sizeiommu_map_sg iommu_unmap
4K1.723 us 1.765 us
64K9.880 us 8.869 us
1M 155.364 us 135.223 us
2M 303.906 us 5.385 us
12M 1786.557 us21.250 us
16M 2391.890 us27.437 us
24M 3570.895 us39.937 us
32M 4755.234 us51.797 us
This is further reduced once the map/unmap_pages() support gets in which
will result in just 1 TLBIASID as compared to 16 TLBIASIDs.
Real world data also shows big difference in unmap performance as below:
There were reports of camera frame drops because of high overhead in
iommu unmap without this optimization because of frequent unmaps issued
by camera of about 100MB/s taking more than 100ms thereby causing frame
drops.
