Subject: [PATCH] drm/bochs: use ioremap_wc() to map framebuffer during driver probing
Date: Mon,  9 Sep 2024 13:15:29 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240909051529.26776-1-yan.y.zhao@intel.com> (raw)

Use ioremap_wc() instead of ioremap() to map framebuffer during driver
probing phase.

Using ioremap() results in a VA being mapped with PAT=UC-. Additionally,
on x86 architectures, ioremap() invokes memtype_reserve() to reserve the
memory type as UC- for the physical range. This reservation can cause
subsequent calls to ioremap_wc() to fail to map the VA with PAT=WC to the
same physical range for framebuffre in ttm_kmap_iter_linear_io_init().
Consequently, the operation drm_gem_vram_bo_driver_move() ->
ttm_bo_move_memcpy() -> ttm_move_memcpy() becomes significantly slow on
platforms where UC memory access is slow.

Here's the performance data measured in a guest on the physical machine
"Sapphire Rapids XCC".
With host KVM honors guest PAT memory types, the effective memory type
for this framebuffer range is
- WC when ioremap_wc() is used in driver probing phase
- UC- when ioremap() is used.

The data presented is an average from 10 execution runs.
The memcpy range for the data is
mem->bus.offset=0xfd000000, mem->size=0x3e8000.
