[PATCH v7 0/3] dma-mapping: benchmark: Add support for dma_map_sg

[PATCH v7 0/3] dma-mapping: benchmark: Add support for dma_map_sg

[Qinxin Xia]

Modify the framework to adapt to more map modes, add benchmark
support for dma_map_sg, and add support sg map mode in ioctl.
 
The result:

dma mapping benchmark(SG_MODE): threads:8 seconds:30 node:-1 dir:FROM_DEVICE granule/sg_nents: 8

Changes since V6:
- Address the comments from Barry, update the comment of the granule.
- Link: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20260112093436.3456315-1-xiaqinxin@huawei.com/

Changes since V5:
- Address the comments from Barry, the incorrect and unnecessary 'prepare_data' judgment
  is deleted and renamed 'prepare_data()' to 'initialize_data()'. The mode and
  other parameters in the output print are placed in the same print. In addition, the incorrect
  map_mode judgment in ioctrl and the wrong path in sg:prepare() does not release 'params' is fixed.

Changes since V4:
- Address the comments from Barry and Jonathan, irrelevant patches are deleted and
  the original cache processing logic is restored with add prepare_data().
- Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250614143454.2927363-3-xiaqinxin@huawei.com/

Changes since V3:
- Address the comments from Barry, change mode to a more specific namespace.
- Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250509020238.3378396-1-xiaqinxin@huawei.com/

Changes since V2:
- Address the comments from Barry and ALOK, some commit information and function
  input parameter names are modified to make them more accurate.
- Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250506030100.394376-1-xiaqinxin@huawei.com/

[PATCH v7 1/3] dma-mapping: benchmark: modify the framework to adapt to more map modes

[Qinxin Xia]

This patch adjusts the DMA map benchmark framework to make the DMA
map benchmark framework more flexible and adaptable to other mapping
modes in the future. By abstracting the framework into five interfaces:
prepare, unprepare, initialize_data, do_map, and do_unmap.
The new map schema can be introduced more easily
without major modifications to the existing code structure.

[PATCH v7 2/3] dma-mapping: benchmark: add support for dma_map_sg

[Qinxin Xia]

Support for dma scatter-gather mapping and is intended for testing
mapping performance. It achieves by introducing the dma_sg_map_param
structure and related functions, which enable the implementation of
scatter-gather mapping preparation, mapping, and unmapping operations.
Additionally, the dma_map_benchmark_ops array is updated to include
operations for scatter-gather mapping. This commit aims to provide
a wider range of mapping performance test to cater to different scenarios.

[PATCH v7 3/3] tools/dma: Add dma_map_sg support

[Qinxin Xia]

Support for dma_map_sg, add option '-m' to distinguish mode.

i) Users can set option '-m' to select mode:
   DMA_MAP_BENCH_SINGLE_MODE=0, DMA_MAP_BENCH_SG_MODE:=1
   (The mode is also show in the test result).
ii) Users can set option '-g' to set sg_nents
    (total count of entries in scatterlist)
    the maximum number is 1024. Each of sg buf size is PAGE_SIZE.
    e.g
    [root@localhost]# ./dma_map_benchmark -m 1 -g 8 -t 8 -s 30 -d 2
    dma mapping mode: DMA_MAP_BENCH_SG_MODE
    dma mapping benchmark: threads:8 seconds:30 node:-1
    dir:FROM_DEVICE granule/sg_nents: 8
    average map latency(us):1.4 standard deviation:0.3
    average unmap latency(us):1.3 standard deviation:0.3
    [root@localhost]# ./dma_map_benchmark -m 0 -g 8 -t 8 -s 30 -d 2
    dma mapping mode: DMA_MAP_BENCH_SINGLE_MODE
    dma mapping benchmark: threads:8 seconds:30 node:-1
    dir:FROM_DEVICE granule/sg_nents: 8

Hi Marek,

Would you be willing to pick up Qinxin's series into the dma-mapping
tree? I think that would be helpful, at least for my
"dma-mapping: arm64: support batched cache sync" series[1] and for
