Hi All, Now some SD/MMC controllers can support packed command or packed request, that means it can package multiple requests to host controller to be handled at one time, which can improve the I/O performence. Thus this patchset is used to add the MMC packed function to support packed request or packed command. In this patch set, I implemented the SD host ADMA3 transfer mode to support packed request. The ADMA3 transfer mode can process a multi-block data transfer by using a pair of command descriptor and ADMA2 descriptor. In future we can easily expand the MMC packed function to support packed command. Below are some comparison data between packed request and non-packed request with fio tool. The fio command I used is like below with changing the '--rw' parameter and enabling the direct IO flag to measure the actual hardware transfer speed. ./fio --filename=/dev/mmcblk0p30 --direct=1 --iodepth=20 --rw=read --bs=4K --size=512M --group_reporting --numjobs=20 --name=test_read My eMMC card working at HS400 Enhanced strobe mode: [ 2.229856] mmc0: new HS400 Enhanced strobe MMC card at address 0001 [ 2.237566] mmcblk0: mmc0:0001 HBG4a2 29.1 GiB [ 2.242621] mmcblk0boot0: mmc0:0001 HBG4a2 partition 1 4.00 MiB [ 2.249110] mmcblk0boot1: mmc0:0001 HBG4a2 partition 2 4.00 MiB [ 2.255307] mmcblk0rpmb: mmc0:0001 HBG4a2 partition 3 4.00 MiB, chardev (248:0) 1. Non-packed request I tested 3 times for each case and output a average speed. 1) Sequential read: Speed: 28.9MiB/s, 26.4MiB/s, 30.9MiB/s Average speed: 28.7MiB/s 2) Random read: Speed: 18.2MiB/s, 8.9MiB/s, 15.8MiB/s Average speed: 14.3MiB/s 3) Sequential write: Speed: 21.1MiB/s, 27.9MiB/s, 25MiB/s Average speed: 24.7MiB/s 4) Random write: Speed: 21.5MiB/s, 18.1MiB/s, 18.1MiB/s Average speed: 19.2MiB/s 2. Packed request In packed request mode, I set the host controller can package maximum 10 requests at one time (Actually I can increase the package number), and I enabled read/write packed request mode. Also I tested 3 times for each case and output a average speed. 1) Sequential read: Speed: 165MiB/s, 167MiB/s, 164MiB/s Average speed: 165.3MiB/s 2) Random read: Speed: 147MiB/s, 141MiB/s, 144MiB/s Average speed: 144MiB/s 3) Sequential write: Speed: 87.8MiB/s, 89.1MiB/s, 90.0MiB/s Average speed: 89MiB/s 4) Random write: Speed: 90.9MiB/s, 89.8MiB/s, 90.4MiB/s Average speed: 90.4MiB/s Form above data, we can see the packed request can improve the performance greatly. Any comments are welcome. Thanks a lot.
