Currently, IOMMU invalidations and device-IOTLB invalidations using AMD IOMMU fall back to full address-space invalidation if more than a single page need to be flushed. Full flushes are especially inefficient when the IOMMU is virtualized by a hypervisor, since it requires the hypervisor to synchronize the entire address-space. AMD IOMMUs allow to provide a mask to perform page-specific invalidations for multiple pages that match the address. The mask is encoded as part of the address, and the first zero bit in the address (in bits [51:12]) indicates the mask size. Use this hardware feature to perform selective IOMMU and IOTLB flushes. Combine the logic between both for better code reuse. The IOMMU invalidations passed a smoke-test. The device IOTLB invalidations are untested.

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.
