On dma-noncoherent systems that have speculative execution (e.g. a lot of ARM systems) it can be fairly expensive, so for those this a very good thing. Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>
Is there an asynchronous version of ib_dma_sync? Because it flushes DMA pipelines, I'm wondering if kicking it off early might improve latency, getting it done before svc_rdma_recvfrom() needs to dig into the contents. Tom.

No. These routines basically compile down to cache writeback and/or
invalidate instructions without much logic around them.

The Receive completion handler doesn't look at the contents of the Receive buffer. The DMA sync isn't terribly expensive but it's one less thing that needs to be done by the Receive completion handler, which is single-threaded (per svc_xprt). This helps scalability.
