It was noticed that the copy_to/from_user() friends that was used to access virtqueue metdata tends to be very expensive for dataplane implementation like vhost since it involves lots of software checks, speculation barriers, hardware feature toggling (e.g SMAP). The extra cost will be more obvious when transferring small packets since the time spent on metadata accessing become more significant. This patch tries to eliminate those overheads by accessing them through direct mapping of those pages. Invalidation callbacks is implemented for co-operation with general VM management (swap, KSM, THP or NUMA balancing). We will try to get the direct mapping of vq metadata before each round of packet processing if it doesn't exist. If we fail, we will simplely fallback to copy_to/from_user() friends. This invalidation and direct mapping access are synchronized through spinlock and RCU. All matedata accessing through direct map is protected by RCU, and the setup or invalidation are done under spinlock. This method might does not work for high mem page which requires temporary mapping so we just fallback to normal copy_to/from_user() and may not for arch that has virtual tagged cache since extra cache flushing is needed to eliminate the alias. This will result complex logic and bad performance. For those archs, this patch simply go for copy_to/from_user() friends. This is done by ruling out kernel mapping codes through ARCH_IMPLEMENTS_FLUSH_DCACHE_PAGE. Note that this is only done when device IOTLB is not enabled. We could use similar method to optimize IOTLB in the future.
