mtd_blkdevs: avoid soft lockups with some mtd/spi devices
RFC PATCH v3 1/1 mtd_blkdevs: avoid soft lockups with some mtd/spi devices
From: David Decotigny <[email protected]>
With some spi devices, the heavy cpu usage due to polling the spi registers may lead to netdev timeouts, RCU complaints, etc. This can be acute in the absence of CONFIG_PREEMPT. This patch allows to give enough breathing room to avoid those incorrectly detected netdev timeouts for example.
