This drastically reduces the rate at which the MMC_SEND_STATUS cmd polls for completion of the MMC Erase operation. The patch does this by adding a backoff sleep that starts by sleeping for short intervals (128-256us), and ramps up to sleeping for 32-64ms. Even on very quickly completing erase operations, the loop iterates a few times, so not too much extra latency is added to these commands. For long running discard operarations, like a full-device secure discard, this change drops the interrupt rates on my single-core NXP I.MX6UL from 45000/s to about 20/s, and greatly improves system responsiveness.

README
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.
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.
