      mtd: fix a huge latency problem in the MTD CFI and LPDDR flash drivers. · c4e77376
      Stefani Seibold 提交于
      The use of a memcpy() during a spinlock operation will cause very long
      thread context switch delays if the flash chip bandwidth is low and the
      data to be copied large, because a spinlock will disable preemption.
      
      For example: A flash with 6,5 MB/s bandwidth will cause under ubifs,
      which request sometimes 128 KiB (the flash erase size), a preemption delay of
      20 milliseconds. High priority threads will not be served during this
      time, regardless whether this threads access the flash or not. This behavior
      breaks real time.
      
      The patch changes all the use of spin_lock operations for xxxx->mutex
      into mutex operations, which is exact what the name says and means.
      
      I have checked the code of the drivers and there is no use of atomic
      pathes like interrupt or timers. The mtdoops facility will also not be used
      by this drivers. So it is dave to replace the spin_lock against mutex.
      
      There is no performance regression since the mutex is normally not
      acquired.

      Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
      even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
      archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
      3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
      git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
      infrastructure for it.
      
      Let it rip!
