iommu/vt-d: Handle volatile descriptor status read
Queued invalidation wait descriptor status is volatile in that IOMMU hardware writes the data upon completion. Use READ_ONCE() to prevent compiler optimizations which ensures memory reads every time. As a side effect, READ_ONCE() also enforces strict types and may add an extra instruction. But it should not have negative performance impact since we use cpu_relax anyway and the extra time(by adding an instruction) may allow IOMMU HW request cacheline ownership easier. e.g. gcc 12.3 BEFORE: 81 38 ad de 00 00 cmpl $0x2,(%rax) AFTER (with READ_ONCE()) 772f: 8b 00 mov (%rax),%eax 7731: 3d ad de 00 00 cmp $0x2,%eax //status data is 32 bit Signed-off-by: Jacob Pan <jacob.jun.pan@linux.intel.com> Reviewed-by: Kevin Tian <kevin.tian@intel.com> Reviewed-by: Yi Liu <yi.l.liu@intel.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240607173817.3914600-1-jacob.jun.pan@linux.intel.comSigned-off-by: Lu Baolu <baolu.lu@linux.intel.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240702130839.108139-2-baolu.lu@linux.intel.comSigned-off-by: Will Deacon <will@kernel.org>
