The obvious key to the performance optimization of commit 587e6c10a7
("iommu/arm-smmu-v3: Reduce contention during command-queue insertion") is
to allow multiple cores to insert commands in parallel after a brief mutex
contention.
Obviously, inserting as many commands at a time as possible can reduce the
number of times the mutex contention participates, thereby improving the
overall performance. At least it reduces the number of calls to function
arm_smmu_cmdq_issue_cmdlist().
Therefore, function arm_smmu_cmdq_issue_cmd_with_sync() is added to insert
the 'cmd+sync' commands at a time.

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.
