Is that correct?  I thought that similar to what is done for UFS, the key
reprogramming happens only after the MMC controller is reset.  I thought that is
different from a runtime suspend.

Looks like Seshu is not really worried about the host's runtime
suspend, but the card's runtime suspend.

Perhaps there are some out of tree code involved here that makes use
of MMC_CAP_AGGRESSIVE_PM, which is what allows the card to be runtime
suspended?


If it's in fact triggering more often, maybe that is what needs to be fixed?

We could extend the runtime PM autosusend timeout for the card, if
that makes sense.

This change aims to address host side feature by not tying it up to card side flag/feature.

The keyslots are being reprogrammed from mmc_set_initial_state(), which is
documented as:

     /*
      * Set initial state after a power cycle or a hw_reset.
      */
     void mmc_set_initial_state(struct mmc_host *host)

It's called by: mmc_power_up(), mmc_power_off(), _mmc_hw_reset(), and
mmc_sdio_sw_reset().

Can that mean a power cycle of the card, not a power cycle of the host
controller?

Yes, that's correct.

Well, indirectly the host is likely to be power cycled too, but not necessarily.

The keyslots are part of the host controller, so that may explain
the problem.  The keyslots should be reprogrammed only when the host controller
is reset, as that is when they are lost.  (And it should not be skipped entirely
as this patchset does, as a host controller reset is possible.)


This will be update via a separate patch by invoking reprogram_all_keys API from sdhci_msm_gcc_reset() API https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/drivers/mmc/host/sdhci-msm.c#L2363

Thanks,
Seshu

I am not an expert in MMC or in the details of how Qualcomm ICE is wired up to
the system, so I might have this wrong.  But let me know if it sounds right.

It sounds reasonable to me, but I also don't know the HW well enough
to be able to tell.

Looks like we need some more input from Seshu and the QC folkz to
understand better.

Kind regards
Uffe
