[PATCH] vfio/type1: Restore mapping performance with mdev support

Alex Williamson
2016-12-13T20:58:15Z

As part of the mdev support, type1 now gets a task reference per
vfio_dma and uses that to get an mm reference for the task while
working on accounting. That's the correct thing to do for paths
where we can't rely on using current, but there are still hot paths
where we can optimize because we know we're invoked by the user.

Specifically, vfio_pin_pages_remote() is only called when the user
does DMA mapping (vfio_dma_do_map) or if an IOMMU group is added to
a container with existing mappings (vfio_iommu_replay). We can
therefore use current->mm as well as rlimit() and capable() directly
rather than going through the high overhead path via the stored
task_struct. We also know that vfio_dma_do_unmap() is only called
via user ioctl, so we can also tune that path to be more lightweight.

In a synthetic guest mapping test emulating a 1TB VM backed by a
single 4GB range remapped multiple times across the address space,
the mdev changes to the type1 backend introduced a roughly 25% hit
in runtime of this test. These changes restore it to nearly the
previous performance for the interfaces exercised here,
VFIO_IOMMU_MAP_DMA and release on close.
