[PATCH] dma-mapping: benchmark: pretend DMA is transmitting
In a real dma mapping user case, after dma_map is done, data will be transmit. Thus, in multi-threaded user scenario, IOMMU contention should not be that severe. For example, if users enable multiple threads to send network packets through 1G/10G/100Gbps NIC, usually the steps will be: map -> transmission -> unmap. Transmission delay reduces the contention of IOMMU. Here a delay is added to simulate the transmission for TX case so that the tested result could be more accurate. RX case would be much more tricky. It is not supported yet.

I guess it might be a reasonable approximation to map several pages, then unmap them again after a slightly more random delay. Or maybe divide the threads into pairs of mappers and unmappers respectively filling up and draining proper little buffer pools.

Yes. Good suggestions. I am actually thinking about how to support cases like networks. There is a pre-mapped list of pages, each page is bound with some hardware DMA block descriptor(BD). So if Linux can consume the packets in time, those buffers are always re-used. Only when the page bound with BD is full and OS can't consume it in time, another temp page will be allocated and mapped, BD will switch to use this temp page, then finally unmap it if it is not needed any more. On the other hand, the pre-mapped pages are never unmapped. For things like filesystem and disk driver, RX is always requested by users. The model would be simpler: map -> rx -> unmap. For networks, RX transmission can come spontaneously. Anyway, I'll put this into TBD. For this moment, mainly handle TX path. Or maybe the current code has been able to handle simple RX model :-)

Yes, I guess you mean NSEC_PER_MSEC. will move to it.

Sensible, will remove the condition check.
