Currently the default method of prefetch polled shows the highest possible read and write speed when minimal non NAND background activity is being done. But it is also very CPU intensive to reach these high speeds (CPU load of 99% via mtd performance tests). While DMA prefetch only uses 50% of the CPU to achieve around 23% less in top read and write performance. However, as the non NAND CPU load increases the read and write performance takes a large hit when using polled prefetch. Therefore, prefetch dma mode ends up outperforming prefetch polled in general "system level" test. So switch to using dma prefetch by default since it is likely what most users would prefer.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
