I have a device drier that uses a mmap'd section of memory to expose dma
buffers to user space.
(https://github.com/balister/linux-omap-philip/blob/e100-2.6.38/drivers/misc/usrp_e.c).
I have it running on the 2.6.38 and 2.6.39 kernel, but it looks like
read performance is much slower in the .39 version than the .28 version.
Does anyone know what changed between these two kernel versions and how
it might fix it?
Thanks,
Philip

Maybe try git bisect it to some commit? You can use quilt to keep
applying the temporary patches needed in between test builds for
your driver.. Or maybe git allows that somehow too.
