Sneha,

I've been noticing that when writing to USB (and possibly any medium),
the entire system occasionally stalls. I believe this might be during
the flush operation, as the stall is very periodic (about every 5
seconds). Do you know how I can avoid this stall? I did not expect the
filesystem write operation to cause all the threads in application to
not run for several hundreds of milliseconds.

Steve,

Were you trying to patch the Beta kernel with patches from "patch level 14
release"? You may have missed the LSP 1.20 GA release. The patches from "Patch
level 14 release" cleanly apply to the LSP 1.20 GA kernel. The default series
file picks patches 1, 9 - 14. The patches 2 - 8 are for the custom MMC/SD stack.

LSP 1.20, with patch level 14, we have reported the following -

USB MSC Host Read: 6.4 MBytes/sec
USB MSC Host Write: 6.3 MBytes/sec

The procedure followed to measure the performance is documented in the
datasheet - http://focus.ti.com/lit/an/sprs496a/sprs496a.pdf

BTW, we also have a LSP 2.00 Beta release, which is based on MV Pro 5.0.0
(2.6.18) on the software update advisor site. USB MSC Host performance has
improved with this release:

USB MSC Host Read: 13.4 MBytes/sec
USB MSC Host Write: 7.3 MBytes/sec

Thanks
Sneha
