IB/mlx5: Reduce IMR KSM size when 5-level paging is enabled
Enabling 5-level paging (LA57) increases TASK_SIZE on x86_64 from 2^47
to 2^56. This affects implicit ODP, which uses TASK_SIZE to calculate
the number of IMR KSM entries.
As a result, the number of entries and the memory usage for KSM mkeys
increase drastically:
- With 2^47 TASK_SIZE: 0x20000 entries (~2MB)
- With 2^56 TASK_SIZE: 0x4000000 entries (~1GB)
This issue could happen previously on systems with LA57 manually
enabled, but now commit 7212b58d6d71 ("x86/mm/64: Make 5-level paging
support unconditional") enables LA57 by default on all supported
systems. This makes the issue impact widespread.
To mitigate this, increase the size each MTT entry maps from 1GB to 16GB
when 5-level paging is enabled. This reduces the number of KSM entries
and lowers the memory usage on LA57 systems from 1GB to 64MB per IMR.
As now 'mlx5_imr_mtt_size' is larger than 32 bits, we move to use u64
instead of int as part of populate_klm() to prevent overflow of the
'step' variable.
In addition, as populate_klm() actually handles KSM and not KLM, as it's
used only by implicit ODP, we renamed its signature and the internal
structures accordingly while dropping the byte_count handling which is
not relevant in KSM. The page size in KSM is fixed for all the entries
and come from the log_page_size of the mkey.
Note:
On platforms where the calculated value for 'mlx5_imr_ksm_page_shift' is
higher than the max firmware cap to be changed over UMR, or that the
calculated value for 'log_va_pages' is higher than what we may expect,
the implicit ODP cap will be simply turned off.
