From: "Rafael J. Wysocki" <[email protected]>
The ACPICA's strategy with respect to the handling of memory mappings
associated with memory operation regions is to avoid mapping the
entire region at once which may be problematic at least in principle
(for example, it may lead to conflicts with overlapping mappings
having different attributes created by drivers). It may also be
wasteful, because memory opregions on some systems take up vast
chunks of address space while the fields in those regions actually
accessed by AML are sparsely distributed.
For this reason, a one-page "window" is mapped for a given opregion
on the first memory access through it and if that "window" does not
cover an address range accessed through that opregion subsequently,
it is unmapped and a new "window" is mapped to replace it. Next,
if the new "window" is not sufficient to acess memory through the
opregion in question in the future, it will be replaced with yet
another "window" and so on. That may lead to a suboptimal sequence
of memory mapping and unmapping operations, for example if two fields
in one opregion separated from each other by a sufficiently wide
chunk of unused address space are accessed in an alternating pattern.
The situation may still be suboptimal if the deferred unmapping
introduced previously is supported by the OS layer. For instance,
the alternating memory access pattern mentioned above may produce
a relatively long list of mappings to release with substantial
duplication among the entries in it, which could be avoided if
acpi_ex_system_memory_space_handler() did not release the mapping
used by it previously as soon as the current access was not covered
by it.
In order to improve that, modify acpi_ex_system_memory_space_handler()
to preserve all of the memory mappings created by it until the memory
regions associated with them go away.
Accordingly, update acpi_ev_system_memory_region_setup() to unmap all
memory associated with memory opregions that go away.

I think this needs to be:
acpi_size map_length = mem_info->length;
since it now gets used in the ACPI_ERROR() call below. I'm getting
a "maybe used unitialized" error on compilation.

No, it's better to print the length value in the message.

Thanks for reporting!
I've updated the commit in the acpica-osl branch with the fix.

Thanks, Rafael.
Do you have a generic way of testing this? I can see a way to do it
-- timing a call of a method in a dynamically loaded SSDT -- but if
you had a test case laying around, I could continue to be lazy :).

I don't check the timing, but instrument the code to see if what
happens is what is expected.
Now, the overhead reduction resulting from this change in Linux is
quite straightforward: Every time the current mapping doesn't cover
the request at hand, an unmap is carried out by the original code,
which involves a linear search through acpi_ioremaps, and which
generally is (at least a bit) more expensive than the linear search
through the list of opregion-specific mappings introduced by the
$subject patch, because quite likely the acpi_ioremaps list holds more
items. And, of course, if the opregion in question holds many fields
and they are not covered by one mapping, each of them needs to be
mapped just once per the opregion life cycle.

Right. What I was debating as a generic test was something to try to
force an OpRegion through mapping and unmapping repeatedly with the
current code to determine a rough average elapsed time. Then, apply
the patch to see what the change does. Granted, a completely synthetic
scenario, and specifically designed to exaggerate the overhead, but
I'm just curious.

Hi Rafael,
Picking up from Dan while he's out - I had these patches tested by the
original reporter, and they work fine. I see you had them staged in the
acpica-osl branch. Is that slated to go in during the 5.9 merge window?
