iommu/vt-d: Optimize iotlb_sync_map for non-caching/non-RWBF modes
The iotlb_sync_map iommu ops allows drivers to perform necessary cache flushes when new mappings are established. For the Intel iommu driver, this callback specifically serves two purposes: - To flush caches when a second-stage page table is attached to a device whose iommu is operating in caching mode (CAP_REG.CM==1). - To explicitly flush internal write buffers to ensure updates to memory- resident remapping structures are visible to hardware (CAP_REG.RWBF==1). However, in scenarios where neither caching mode nor the RWBF flag is active, the cache_tag_flush_range_np() helper, which is called in the iotlb_sync_map path, effectively becomes a no-op. Despite being a no-op, cache_tag_flush_range_np() involves iterating through all cache tags of the iommu's attached to the domain, protected by a spinlock. This unnecessary execution path introduces overhead, leading to a measurable I/O performance regression. On systems with NVMes under the same bridge, performance was observed to drop from approximately ~6150 MiB/s down to ~4985 MiB/s. Introduce a flag in the dmar_domain structure. This flag will only be set when iotlb_sync_map is required (i.e., when CM or RWBF is set). The cache_tag_flush_range_np() is called only for domains where this flag is set. This flag, once set, is immutable, given that there won't be mixed configurations in real-world scenarios where some IOMMUs in a system operate in caching mode while others do not. Theoretically, the immutability of this flag does not impact functionality.
