In order to optimize accesses to spi flashes, trigger a DMA only if more than 4 bytes has to be transferred. DMA transfer preparation's cost becomes negligible above 4 bytes to transfer. Below this threshold, indirect transfer give more throughput. mtd_speedtest shows that page write throughtput increases : - from 779 to 853 KiB/s (~9.5%) with s25fl512s SPI-NOR. - from 5283 to 5666 KiB/s (~7.25%) with Micron SPI-NAND.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
