For current implementation of vmid allocation of arm smmu-v3, a per-smmu devide bitmap of 64K bits(8K bytes) is allocated on behalf of possible VMID range, which is two pages for some architectures. Besides that, its memory consumption is 'static', despite of how many VMIDs are allocated actually. That's memory inefficient and lack of scalability. So an IDA based implementation is introduced to address this issue, which is capable of self-expanding on the actual need of VMID allocation.

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.
