From f29d3b23238e1955a8094e038c72546e99308e61 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Arjan van de Ven Date: Mon, 5 Jan 2009 15:07:07 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] fastboot: Make libata initialization even more async As suggested by Linus: Don't do the libata init in 2 separate steps with a global sync inbetween, but do it as one async step, with a local sync before registering the device. This cuts the boottime on my machine with 2 sata controllers down significantly, and it seems to work. Would be nice if the libata folks take a good look at this patch though..
