Subject: AMD IOMMU problem after NIC uses multi-page allocation
Date: Wed, 29 Mar 2023 18:14:07 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230329181407.3eed7378@kernel.org> (raw)

Hi Joerg, Suravee,

I see an odd NIC behavior with AMD IOMMU in lazy mode (on 5.19).

The NIC allocates a buffer for Rx packets which is MTU rounded up 
to page size. If I run it with 1500B MTU or 9000 MTU everything is
fine, slight but manageable perf hit.

But if I flip the MTU to 9k, run some traffic and then go back to 1.5k 
- 70%+ of CPU cycles are spent in alloc_iova (and children).

Does this ring any bells?
