Subject: [PATCH 2/2] drm/i915/gvt: subsitute kvm_read/write_guest with vfio_iova_rw
Date: Thu, 2 Jan 2020 20:03:49 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200103010349.4262-1-yan.y.zhao@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200103010055.4140-1-yan.y.zhao@intel.com>
As a device model, it is better to read/write guest memory using vfio
interface, so that vfio is able to maintain dirty info of device IOVAs.
Compared to CPU side interfaces kvm_read/write_guest(), vfio_iova_rw()
has ~600 cycles more overhead on average.
-------------------------------------
| interface | avg cpu cycles |
|-----------------------------------|
| kvm_write_guest | 1546 |
| ----------------------------------|
| kvm_read_guest | 686 |
|-----------------------------------|
| vfio_iova_rw(w) | 2233 |
|-----------------------------------|
| vfio_iova_rw(r) | 1262 |
-------------------------------------
Comparison of benchmarks scores are as blow:
---------------------------------------------------------
| avg score | kvm_read/write_guest | vfio_iova_rw |
---------------------------------------------------------
| Glmark2 | 1132 | 1138.2 |
---------------------------------------------------------
| Lightsmark | 61.558 | 61.538 |
|--------------------------------------------------------
| OpenArena | 142.77 | 136.6 |
---------------------------------------------------------
| Heaven | 698 | 686.8 |
--------------------------------------------------------
No obvious performance downgrade found.
