[RFC PATCH 0/2] mtd: spi-nor: Handle vmalloc'd buffers

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This series implements bounce buffer support to handle vmalloc'd buffers
in case of drivers use DMA, similar to what is done in MTD NAND
framework.

I have tested this on two platform:
DRA74 SoC (cortex a15 @1GHz) with s25fl256s1 QSPI (SPI bus frequency
76.8 MHz) and I don't see any performance degradation with UBIFS
read/write(10MB file).
AM437x SoC (cortex a9 @1GHz) with macronix mx66l51235l QSPI flash (SPI bus
frequency 48MHz) and performance degradation is <4% for UBIFS.
