The SMMU engine on HIP09 chip has a hardware issue.
SMMU pagetable prefetch features may prefetch and use a invalid PTE
even the PTE is valid at that time. This will cause the device trigger
fake pagefaults. The solution is to avoid prefetching by adding a
SYNC command when smmu mapping a iova. But the performance of nic has a
sharp drop. Then we do this workaround, always enable tx bounce buffer,
avoid mapping/unmapping on TX path.
This issue only affects HNS3, so we always enable
tx bounce buffer when smmu enabled to improve performance.

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 reStructuredText 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.
