From 19b99719970be85d17c55a0f688b746a11e82eb0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mikulas Patocka Date: Wed, 25 Jul 2018 15:41:55 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] udlfb: set optimal write delay commit bb24153a3f13dd0dbc1f8055ad97fe346d598f66 upstream. The default delay 5 jiffies is too much when the kernel is compiled with HZ=100 - it results in jumpy cursor in Xwindow. In order to find out the optimal delay, I benchmarked the driver on 1280x720x30fps video. I found out that with HZ=1000, 10ms is acceptable, but with HZ=250 or HZ=300, we need 4ms, so that the video is played without any frame skips. This patch changes the delay to this value.
