Bug description:
Original Bug name: "panda: USB disk IO slow"
This bug effects ARM Cortex A9 cores, snowball, nvidia, OMAP 4, and
other Cortex A9 processors. Problem is in Fedora ARM builds also so
not limited to Ubuntu.
My Panda's USB seems to be significantly slower than a Beagle C4.
hdparm shows buffered reads as ~12MB/s on the Panda, and about ~20-25MB/s on a Beagle C4 from the same
external Lacie USB disk.
Kernel is 2.6.37-1002-linaro-omap
Disk shows as:
[ 5.170440] scsi 0:0:0:0: Direct-Access LaCie d2 quadra PQ: 0 ANSI: 4
[ 5.172546] sd 0:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg0 type 0
[ 5.175415] sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] 976773168 512-byte logical blocks: (500 GB/465 GiB)
The board is otherwise idle during the test.
Doing perf_2.6.37-12 record -a dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/null bs=4096
count=100000
shows :
81.41% swapper [kernel.kallsyms] [k] default_idle
6.33% dd [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __copy_to_user
0.94% swapper [kernel.kallsyms] [k] cpu_idle
0.51% dd [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __make_request
0.51% perf_2.6.37-12 [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __copy_from_user
which suggests it's not CPU constrained.
