From f21121cde6e617b90cd03ce083652ca543004dc2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hideyuki Sasaki Date: Wed, 4 Nov 2009 09:09:28 +0100 Subject: block/ps3: fix slow VRAM IO The current PS3 VRAM driver uses msleep() to wait for completion of RSX DMA transfers between system memory and VRAM. Depending on the system timing, the processing delay and overhead of this msleep() call can significantly impact VRAM driver IO. To avoid the condition, add a short duration (200 usec max) udelay() polling loop before entering the msleep() polling loop.
