I/O translation tables on s390 use 8 byte page table entries and tables which are allocated lazily but only freed when the entire I/O translation table is torn down. Also each IOVA can at any time only translate to one physical address Furthermore I/O table accesses by the IOMMU hardware are cache coherent. With a bit of care we can thus use atomic updates to manipulate the translation table without having to use a global lock at all. This is done analogous to the existing I/O translation table handling code used on Intel and AMD x86 systems.

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.
