    mmc: omap_hsmmc: Reduce max_segs for reliability · 94424004
    Will Newton authored
    Reduce max_segs to 64, a value that allows allocation of an entire
    EDMA descriptor list within a single page - EDMA descriptors
    are 40 bytes and the header is much larger. This avoids doing a
    higher order GFP_ATOMIC allocation in edma_prep_slave_sg
    when setting up a transfer which can potentially fail due to
    fragmentation under heavy I/O load.
    
    The current value of 1024 is unusually high in comparison to
    other mmc host drivers which mostly use values of between 1
    and 256. The EDMA driver at present splits lists above 20
    segments in any case so reducing the size of lists we pass to
    it shouldn't add much overhead.
