From c571573a027bb65ac415141f919df3c0fa0fedb4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Emmanuel Grumbach Date: Tue, 30 Apr 2013 14:33:04 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] iwlwifi: pcie: prefer to load the firmware in one shot Users complained about allocation failures, so we loaded the firmware in small chunks (PAGE_SIZE). This makes the firmware restart considerably slower. So, always prefer to load it in one shot allocating a big chunk of coherent, and use smaller chunks as a fallback solution. On my laptop, this reduces the fw loading time from 120ms to 20ms.
