This patch only unmap the actual completed DMA buffer instead of the whole transfer buffer.
Who will unmap the rest of the buffer?
It is common to see only part of DMA transfer is completed, especially in case of DMA_FROM_DEVICE because the length of incoming traffic often is unknown before submitting URB, so this patch may improve USB DMA unmapping which runs in hard irq context.
The patch has been tested on ARMv7(Pandaboard), and it is observed that at average ~25us is saved about ehci interrupt handling on below usbnet test case:
- Pandaboard: IP address is IP_A - on one x86 box, run below command: #ping -f -s 1472 IP_A - compute ehci interrupt handling time on Pandaboard during ping test
This seems just crazy to me. What has been mapped, should be unmapped.
