UDMA-BUF step:

Yeah this is really slow and the worst way to do it. You absolutely want to start _all_ the io before you start creating the dma-buf, ideally with everything running in parallel. But just starting the direct I/O with async and then creating the umdabuf should be a lot faster and avoid needlessly serialization operations.

The other issue is that the mmap has some overhead, but might not be too bad. -Sima
