First: my email you are quoting here was sent to you directly, off-list, because it only contains common stuff and has nothing to do with kernel development. In other words to avoid annoying lkml people. In addition, I placed an "Reply-to" header pointing back to me. Despite, you *manually* redirected your answer to my private mail back to the list, thus annoying people and breaking the informational flow of this thread.

So you produce a lot of disk I/O by writing/reading from the same disk at the same time, and as you encounter stalls, you take this for a kernel bug (which clearly is not). These stalls are most probably caused by fsync() flushing your data/buffers, which is blocking. So moving the music data you are listening to to another disk would make things a lot easier. > In addition , my cpu usage when doing this is half of my older DMA transfer is mostly done be the controller itself, and not the CPU. Btw, EOT for me. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
