The latency for SG transfers should be smaller than for non-SG. > We got it work by tuning the transfer size, if the timings are not met > the device will just disable the transfer. > Unfortunately it will take a second to detect that by the driver and > re-enabling the transfer which means that it will corrupt the data. > I do not have a good feeling about pushing SG transfers into the > kernel by modifying the legacy mode without having any experience with > it.

The way to fix latency problems is by submitting multiple URBs, enough to make sure the I/O queue never empties out.
