Hi,

While running one of the MMC use cases in the system I saw that mmcqd seems
to eat up a lot of cpu cycles. I saw a thread which discussed some details.

Any clue on what this process is doing? If a low level driver is using DMA I
am not sure why there is so much load on the system due to mmcqd? Any
thoughts?

 
Regards,
Madhu
