There are two counters: * fq_flush_start_cnt - Increased when a TLB flush is started. * fq_flush_finish_cnt - Increased when a TLB flush is finished. The fq_flush_start_cnt is assigned to every Flush-Queue entry on its creation. When freeing entries from the Flush-Queue, the value in the entry is compared to the fq_flush_finish_cnt. The entry can only be freed when its value is less than the value of fq_flush_finish_cnt. The reason for these counters it to take advantage of IOMMU TLB flushes that happened on other CPUs. These already flushed the TLB for Flush-Queue entries on other CPUs so that they can already be freed without flushing the TLB again. This makes it less likely that the Flush-Queue is full and saves IOMMU TLB flushes. Signed-off-by: Joerg Roedel <jroedel@suse.de>
