Subject: [PATCH v7 9/9] swiotlb: search the software IO TLB only if the device makes use of it

From: Petr Tesarik <[email protected]>

Skip searching the software IO TLB if a device has never used it, making
sure these devices are not affected by the introduction of multiple IO TLB
memory pools.

Additional memory barrier is required to ensure that the new value of the
flag is visible to other CPUs after mapping a new bounce buffer. For
efficiency, the flag check should be inlined, and then the memory barrier
must be moved to is_swiotlb_buffer(). However, it can replace the existing
barrier in swiotlb_find_pool(), because all callers use is_swiotlb_buffer()
first to verify that the buffer address belongs to the software IO TLB.

Excuse me if this is a silly question, but I'm not able to figure it out
on my own...

...and here you set it if swiotlb is used.

But, as far as I can tell, you don't actually *use* this field anywhere.
What am I missing?

It's very much unused. Petr, I guess you wanted to use this in
is_swiotlb_buffer to avoid the lookup unless required. Can you send
a follow up?
