For completing any block request, MMC block driver is calling: spin_lock_irq(queue) __blk_end_request() spin_unlock_irq(queue) But if we analyze the sources of latency in kernel using ftrace, __blk_end_request() function at times may take up to 6.5ms with spinlock held and irq disabled. __blk_end_request() calls couple of functions and ftrace output shows that blk_update_bidi_request() function is almost taking 6ms. There are 2 function to end the current request: ___blk_end_request() and blk_end_request(). Both these functions do same thing except that blk_end_request() function doesn't take up the spinlock while calling the blk_update_bidi_request(). This patch replaces all __blk_end_request() calls with blk_end_request() and __blk_end_request_all() calls with blk_end_request_all(). Testing done: 20 process concurrent read/write on sd card and eMMC. Ran this test for almost a day on multicore system and no errors observed.
