commit 9e02977bfad006af328add9434c8bffa40e053bb upstream.
When we looked into FIO performance with swiotlb enabled in VM, we found
swiotlb_bounce() is always called one more time than expected for each DMA
read request.
It turns out that the bounce buffer is copied to original DMA buffer twice
after the completion of a DMA request (one is done by in
dma_direct_sync_single_for_cpu(), the other by swiotlb_tbl_unmap_single()).
But the content in bounce buffer actually doesn't change between the two
rounds of copy. So, one round of copy is redundant.
Pass DMA_ATTR_SKIP_CPU_SYNC flag to swiotlb_tbl_unmap_single() to
skip the memory copy in it.
This fix increases FIO 64KB sequential read throughput in a guest with
swiotlb=force by 5.6%.

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.
