Public bug reported:
[Impact]
100Gbps network performance, as measured on an hns3 controller, doesn't scale
as queue size goes up.
[Test Case]
Use a traffic generator instrument to generate load, using the SUT as an IP
forwarder.
19.04 today:
8 queue 12 queue 16 queue 24 queue
37G 45G 38G 33G
With the patch applied:
8 queue 12 queue 16 queue 24 queue
37G 50G 47G 47G
[Fix]
14bd9a607f908 iommu/iova: Separate atomic variables to improve performance
[Regression Risk]
The patch makes no functional change, just reorders members of a structure.
However, it is possible that this has unforeseen negative performance impacts
on some platform.
