Streaming DMA mapping involving an IOMMU may be much slower for larger total mapping size. This is because every IOMMU DMA mapping requires an IOVA to be allocated and freed. IOVA sizes above a certain limit are not cached, which can have a big impact on DMA mapping performance. Provide an API for device drivers to know this "optimal" limit, such that they may try to produce mapping which don't exceed it.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
