You could enable CONFIG_NOT_COHERENT_CACHE.
I've just tried this (I had to edit Kconfig in power/platforms to make
the build system accept it), and interestingly it's making no
difference. I'm using streaming mappings, and are using the pci_map_sg
functions to ensure the memory is mapped/flushed correctly. I've also
explicitly put in a pci_dma_sync_sg_for_device, however that's also not
made any difference. Turning the cpu cache snoop off has the same affect
as it did without CONFIG_NOT_COHERENT_CACHE; it gets much worse. Any
other ideas?
Will back off the low latency patches next, and give 2.6.30 a try - see
if that makes any difference.
