Right now, drivers like ARM SMMU are using dma_alloc_coherent() to get coherent DMA buffers to save their command queues and page tables. As there is only one default CMA in the whole system, SMMUs on nodes other than node0 will get remote memory. This leads to significant latency. This patch provides per-numa CMA so that drivers like SMMU can get local memory. Tests show localizing CMA can decrease dma_unmap latency much. For instance, before this patch, SMMU on node2 has to wait for more than 560ns for the completion of CMD_SYNC in an empty command queue; with this patch, it needs 240ns only. A positive side effect of this patch would be improving performance even further for those users who are worried about performance more than DMA security and use iommu.passthrough=1 to skip IOMMU. With local CMA, all drivers can get local coherent DMA buffers. Also, this patch changes the default CONFIG_CMA_AREAS to 19 in NUMA. As 1+CONFIG_CMA_AREAS should be quite enough for most servers on the market even they enable both hugetlb_cma and pernuma_cma. 2 numa nodes: 2(hugetlb) + 2(pernuma) + 1(default global cma) = 5 4 numa nodes: 4(hugetlb) + 4(pernuma) + 1(default global cma) = 9 8 numa nodes: 8(hugetlb) + 8(pernuma) + 1(default global cma) = 17 Signed-off-by: Barry Song <song.bao.hua@hisilicon.com> Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> |

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
