Could you guys please collect performance data during the next weeks on both guest-directed ISIs as well as VF MMIOs (preferably with in-kernel MMIO), so that we can decide on the direction that's worth going towards?
Collecting data on VF MMIO would require implementing it (or at least salvaging and fixing some old code), which is not a high priority at the moment. If we do implement VF in the future we could always undo the direct ISI change, but it would still be nice to know if there's any real benefit in the first place.
FWIW, I doubt that the "more stress on HW TLB" will be significant. -Scott _______________________________________________ Linuxppc-dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ozlabs.org/listinfo/linuxppc-dev
