Robin Murphy 6af588fed3 iommu: Add fast hook for getting DMA domains
While iommu_get_domain_for_dev() is the robust way for arbitrary IOMMU
API callers to retrieve the domain pointer, for DMA ops domains it
doesn't scale well for large systems and multi-queue devices, since the
momentary refcount adjustment will lead to exclusive cacheline contention
when multiple CPUs are operating in parallel on different mappings for
the same device.

In the case of DMA ops domains, however, this refcounting is actually
unnecessary, since they already imply that the group exists and is
managed by platform code and IOMMU internals (by virtue of
iommu_group_get_for_dev()) such that a reference will already be held
for the lifetime of the device. Thus we can avoid the bottleneck by
providing a fast lookup specifically for the DMA code to retrieve the
default domain it already knows it has set up - a simple read-only
dereference plays much nicer with cache-coherency protocols.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
