SubjectRe: Bug on Kernel 3.16 r6: Sound and Buffering in Clementine with Files are Transferring to Music Directory
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.
