Changbin Du cf4ee73fd9 drm/i915/gvt: Fix guest vGPU hang caused by very high dma setup overhead
The implementation of current kvmgt implicitly setup dma mapping at MPT
API gfn_to_mfn. First this design against the API's original purpose.
Second, there is no unmap hit in this design. The result is that the
dma mapping keep growing larger and larger. For mutl-vm case, they will
consume IOMMU IOVA low 4GB address space quickly and so tons of rbtree
entries crated in the IOMMU IOVA allocator. Finally, single IOVA
allocation can take as long as ~70ms. Such latency is intolerable.

To address both above issues, this patch introduced two new MPT API:
  o dma_map_guest_page - setup dma map for guest page
  o dma_unmap_guest_page - cancel dma map for guest page

The kvmgt implements these 2 API. And to reduce dma setup overhead for
duplicated pages (eg. scratch pages), two caches are used: one is for
mapping gfn to struct gvt_dma, another is for mapping dma addr to
struct gvt_dma.

With these 2 new API, the gtt now is able to cancel dma mapping when page
table is invalidated. The dma mapping is not in a gradual increase now.

v2: follow the old logic for VFIO_IOMMU_NOTIFY_DMA_UNMAP at this point.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
