From 6e03a201bbe8137487f340d26aa662110e324b20 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Woodhouse Date: Thu, 9 Apr 2009 22:04:07 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] firmware: speed up request_firmware(), v3 Rather than calling vmalloc() repeatedly to grow the firmware image as we receive data from userspace, just allocate and fill individual pages. Then vmap() the whole lot in one go when we're done. A quick test with a 337KiB iwlagn firmware shows the time taken for request_firmware() going from ~32ms to ~5ms after I apply this patch. [v2: define PAGE_KERNEL_RO as PAGE_KERNEL where necessary, use min_t()] [v3: kunmap() takes the struct page *, not the virtual address] Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse Tested-by: Sachin Sant --- drivers/base/firmware_class.c | 129 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++------- 1 file changed, 103 insertions(+), 26 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/base/firmware_class.c b/drivers/base/firmware_class.c index d3a59c688fe4..8a267c427629 100644 --- a/drivers/base/firmware_class.c +++ b/drivers/base/firmware_class.c @@ -17,7 +17,7 @@ #include #include #include - +#include #include #include "base.h" @@ -45,7 +45,10 @@ struct firmware_priv { struct bin_attribute attr_data;
