Thank you for reviewing this.
mmc_blk_read_single() takes a different time depending on the number of
sectors to read and the timeout value for each CMD.
I think it's difficult to set the criteria for "a certain amount of time"
you talked about.
And it's harder to proceed with any errors caused by giving up in
mmc_blk_read_single() than no retrying.
So, I would like to add a configurable property to skip the single block
read retrying because if multiple block read error occurs, single block
read retrying doesn't help for some bad SD cards.
This is the log to check for this patch.
#0. time difference is about 2.37s for 8 sectors between with(#1) and without(#2)
single block read retrying
This is a test for just one CMD18.
When there are many I/O requests, it takes too long to handle the errors.
#1. retry multiple block read (8 sectors) error with single block reads
// It takes about 3.585671s for the I/O error.
// issue CMD23 (+ arg 0x8)
// issue CMD18 (+ arg 0x000320e0) and error occurs
