[PATCH v2 3/3] vfio/type1: Batch page pinning

From: Daniel Jordan
Date: Fri Feb 19 2021 - 11:14:50 EST


Pinning one 4K page at a time is inefficient, so do it in batches of 512
instead. This is just an optimization with no functional change
intended, and in particular the driver still calls iommu_map() with the
largest physically contiguous range possible.

Add two fields in vfio_batch to remember where to start between calls to
vfio_pin_pages_remote(), and use vfio_batch_unpin() to handle remaining
pages in the batch in case of error.

qemu pins pages for guests around 8% faster on my test system, a
two-node Broadwell server with 128G memory per node. The qemu process
was bound to one node with its allocations constrained there as well.

perf diff confirms less time spent in pup. Here are the top ten
