      [POWERPC] Use 4kB iommu pages even on 64kB-page systems · 5d2efba6
      Linas Vepstas 提交于
      The 10Gigabit ethernet device drivers appear to be able to chew
      up all 256MB of TCE mappings on pSeries systems, as evidenced by
      numerous error messages:
      
       iommu_alloc failed, tbl c0000000010d5c48 vaddr c0000000d875eff0 npages 1
      
      Some experimentation indicates that this is essentially because
      one 1500 byte ethernet MTU gets mapped as a 64K DMA region when
      the large 64K pages are enabled. Thus, it doesn't take much to
      exhaust all of the available DMA mappings for a high-speed card.
      
      This patch changes the iommu allocator to work with its own
      unique, distinct page size. Although the patch is long, its
      actually quite simple: it just #defines a distinct IOMMU_PAGE_SIZE
      and then uses this in all the places that matter.
      
      As a side effect, it also dramatically improves network performance
      on platforms with H-calls on iommu translation inserts/removes (since
      we no longer call it 16 times for a 1500 bytes packet when the iommu HW
      is still 4k).
      
      In the future, we might want to make the IOMMU_PAGE_SIZE a variable
      in the iommu_table instance, thus allowing support for different HW
      page sizes in the iommu itself.
