IB/hfi1: Fix SDMA mmu_rb_node not being evicted in LRU order

Browse source

[ Upstream commit 9fe8fec5e4 ]

hfi1_mmu_rb_remove_unless_exact() did not move mmu_rb_node objects in
mmu_rb_handler->lru_list after getting a cache hit on an mmu_rb_node.

As a result, hfi1_mmu_rb_evict() was not guaranteed to evict truly
least-recently used nodes.

This could be a performance issue for an application when that
application:
- Uses some long-lived buffers frequently.
- Uses a large number of buffers once.
- Hits the mmu_rb_handler cache size or pinned-page limits, forcing
  mmu_rb_handler cache entries to be evicted.

In this case, the one-time use buffers cause the long-lived buffer
entries to eventually filter to the end of the LRU list where
hfi1_mmu_rb_evict() will consider evicting a frequently-used long-lived
entry instead of evicting one of the one-time use entries.

Fix this by inserting new mmu_rb_node at the tail of
mmu_rb_handler->lru_list and move mmu_rb_ndoe to the tail of
mmu_rb_handler->lru_list when the mmu_rb_node is a hit in
hfi1_mmu_rb_remove_unless_exact(). Change hfi1_mmu_rb_evict() to evict
from the head of mmu_rb_handler->lru_list instead of the tail.
