Hi Shashidhar, Has the patch been tested to check the dual buffer code gets hit (i.e. it doesn't always get given just single buffers) and that it still works? mmc_test might be a good way of doing so if you have a spare sd card that you don't mind getting wiped, and I believe it does performance measurements too which is a bonus.
