Subject: [PATCH 0/2] iommu/amd: Optimize IRT cache invalidation for nested VM workloads
Date: Fri, 13 Nov 2026 17:50:15 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261113095017.1835921-1-guanghuifeng@linux.alibaba.com> (raw)
This series optimizes the AMD IOMMU interrupt remapping table (IRT)
cache invalidation path for nested virtualization workloads.
When IOMMU AVIC is enabled, every nested VM entry/exit that switches
interrupt routes between guest and remapping modes calls into
iommu_flush_irt_and_complete(). A reported workload with 4334 device
entries shows median lookup latencies of 22-33 us per invocation due
to a linear search_dev_data() walk, even when IRT caching is disabled
and the lookup result is unused.
Patch 1 moves the device lookup after the irtcachedis_enabled early
return, eliminating the unnecessary walk when IRT caching is off.
Patch 2 caches the device data pointer (resolved at IRQ allocation
time) in struct amd_ir_data and threads it through all IRTE update
paths: guest-mode toggle, affinity change, IRQ enable/disable, and
IRTE free. The amd_irte_ops interface is extended to carry the
pointer, eliminating all search_dev_data() calls at runtime.
Both patches preserve DMA-alias invalidation, command ordering,
locking, and completion-wait semantics when IRT caching is enabled.
