Subject: [PATCH] dma-buf: system_heap: Optimize sg_table-to-pages conversion in vmap
Date: Tue, 7 Apr 2026 05:49:38 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260406214938.24142-1-baohua@kernel.org> (raw)
From: Xueyuan Chen <Xueyuan.chen21@gmail.com>
Replace the heavy for_each_sgtable_page() iterator in system_heap_do_vmap()
with a more efficient nested loop approach.
Instead of iterating page by page, we now iterate through the scatterlist
entries via for_each_sgtable_sg(). Because pages within a single sg entry
are physically contiguous, we can populate the page array with a in an
inner loop using simple pointer math. This save a lot of time.
The WARN_ON check is also pulled out of the loop to save branch
instructions.
Performance results mapping a 2GB buffer on Radxa O6:
- Before: ~1440000 ns
- After: ~232000 ns
(~84% reduction in iteration time, or ~6.2x faster)
