[PATCH v2] staging: vc04_services: Replace dmac_map_area with dmac_map_sg

Michael Zoran mzoran at crowfest.net
Tue Oct 25 19:23:27 PDT 2016


The original arm implementation uses dmac_map_area which is not
portable.  Replace it with an architecture neutral version
which uses dma_map_sg.

As you can see that for larger page sizes, the dma_map_sg
implementation is faster then the original unportable dma_map_area
implementation.

Test                       dmac_map_area   dma_map_page dma_map_sg
vchiq_test -b 4 10000      51us/iter       76us/iter    76us
vchiq_test -b 8 10000      70us/iter       82us/iter    91us
vchiq_test -b 16 10000     94us/iter       118us/iter   121us
vchiq_test -b 32 10000     146us/iter      173us/iter   187us
vchiq_test -b 64 10000     263us/iter      328us/iter   299us
vchiq_test -b 128 10000    529us/iter      631us/iter   595us
vchiq_test -b 256 10000    2285us/iter     2275us/iter  2001us
vchiq_test -b 512 10000    4372us/iter     4616us/iter  4123us

For message sizes >= 64KB, dma_map_sg is faster then dma_map_page.

For message size >= 256KB, the dma_map_sg is the fastest
implementation.

"Normal" messages sizes should be about 1MB which is beyond
the length that this change shows a speed increase.

This is v2 of the patch which includes extra WARN_ONs and
incorporates feedback from Eric Anholt <eric at anholt.net>.
