With the introduction of the batch hinting, meaningless batches can be created with no IOTLB updates if the memory region was skipped by vhost_vdpa_listener_skipped_section. This is the case of host notifiers memory regions, device un/realize, and others. This causes the vdpa device to receive dma mapping settings with no changes, a possibly expensive operation for nothing. To avoid that, VHOST_IOTLB_BATCH_BEGIN hint is delayed until we have a meaningful (not skipped section) mapping or unmapping operation, and VHOST_IOTLB_BATCH_END is not written unless at least one of _UPDATE / _INVALIDATE has been issued. v3: * Use a bool instead of a counter avoiding potential number wrapping * Fix bad check on _commit * Move VHOST_BACKEND_F_IOTLB_BATCH check to vhost_vdpa_iotlb_batch_begin_once v2 (from RFC): * Rename misleading name * Abstract start batching function for listener_add/del Signed-off-by: Eugenio Pérez <eperezma@redhat.com> Message-Id: <20210812140933.226288-1-eperezma@redhat.com> Acked-by: Jason Wang <jasowang@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Michael S.
