The NPU has a limited number of address translation shootdown (ATSD)
registers and the GPU has limited bandwidth to process ATSDs. This can
result in contention of ATSD registers leading to soft lockups on some
threads, particularly when invalidating a large address range in
pnv_npu2_mn_invalidate_range().
At some threshold it becomes more efficient to flush the entire GPU
TLB for the given MM context (PID) than individually flushing each
address in the range. This patch will result in ranges greater than
2MB being converted from 32+ ATSDs into a single ATSD which will flush
the TLB for the given PID on each GPU.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
