First: my email you are quoting here was sent to you directly, off-list, because it only contains common stuff and has nothing to do with kernel development. In other words to avoid annoying lkml people. In addition, I placed an "Reply-to" header pointing back to me. Despite, you *manually* redirected your answer to my private mail back to the list, thus annoying people and breaking the informational flow of this thread.

So you produce a lot of disk I/O by writing/reading from the same disk at the same time, and as you encounter stalls, you take this for a kernel bug (which clearly is not). These stalls are most probably caused by fsync() flushing your data/buffers, which is blocking.
So moving the music data you are listening to to another disk would make things a lot easier.

DMA transfer is mostly done be the controller itself, and not the CPU.
Btw, EOT for me.
