What we considered is that, if our eMMC card have some area been set to be an enhanced area, MMC driver can export the size and address of this area to user space so that user can use such area for a SWAP partition. Enhanced area has a good performance than the normal area. Chris, I will document this in Documentation/ABI, thanks a lot for making me clear. > > > --- > > drivers/mmc/core/mmc.c | 92 > ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ > > include/linux/mmc/card.h | 3 + > > include/linux/mmc/mmc.h | 3 + > > 3 files changed, 98 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) > > > > diff --git a/drivers/mmc/core/mmc.c b/drivers/mmc/core/mmc.c > > index 77f93c3..1f49778 100644 > > --- a/drivers/mmc/core/mmc.c > > +++ b/drivers/mmc/core/mmc.c > > @@ -302,6 +302,64 @@ static int mmc_read_ext_csd(struct mmc_card *card) > > } > > > > if (card->ext_csd.rev >= 4) { > > + /* > > + * Enhanced area feature support > > + * check whether eMMC card is enabled enhanced area, > > + * if so, export enhanced area offset and size to > > + * user by adding sysfs interface > > + */ > > + if ((ext_csd[EXT_CSD_PARTITION_SUPPORT] & 0x2) && > > + (ext_csd[EXT_CSD_PARTITION_ATTRIBUTE] & 0x1)) { > > + u8 hc_erase_grp_sz = > > + ext_csd[EXT_CSD_HC_ERASE_GRP_SIZE]; > > + u8 hc_wp_grp_sz = > > + ext_csd[EXT_CSD_HC_WP_GRP_SIZE]; > > + /* > > + * FIXME > > + * Not sure whether need to enable the > > + * ERASE_GROUP_DEF bit > > + */ > > + err = mmc_switch(card, EXT_CSD_CMD_SET_NORMAL, > > + EXT_CSD_ERASE_GROUP_DEF, 1); > > + > > + if (err && err != -EBADMSG) > > + goto out; > > + > > + if (err) { > > + /* > > + * ignore this err, just disable enhanced area > > + */ > > + err = 0; > > + goto next; > > + } > > + /* update ext_csd ERASE_GRP_DEF bit */ > > + ext_csd[EXT_CSD_ERASE_GROUP_DEF] = 1; > > + card->ext_csd.erase_group_def = > > + ext_csd[EXT_CSD_ERASE_GROUP_DEF]; > > + /* > > + * set a flag to identify whether the enhanced > > + * user data are enabled > > + */ > > + card->ext_csd.enh_data_area_en = 1; > > + /* > > + * caculate the enhanced data area offset, unit B > > + */ > > + card->ext_csd.enh_data_area_off = > > + (ext_csd[139] << 24) + (ext_csd[138] << 16) + > > + (ext_csd[137] << 8) + ext_csd[136]; > > + if (mmc_card_blockaddr(card)) > > + card->ext_csd.enh_data_area_off <<= 9; > > + /* > > + * caculate the enhanced data area size, unit KB > > + */ > > + card->ext_csd.enh_data_area_sz = > > + (ext_csd[142] << 16) + (ext_csd[141] << 8) + > > + ext_csd[140]; > > + card->ext_csd.enh_data_area_sz *= > > + (size_t)(hc_erase_grp_sz * hc_wp_grp_sz); > > + card->ext_csd.enh_data_area_sz <<= 9; > > + } > > +next: > > card->ext_csd.sec_trim_mult = > > ext_csd[EXT_CSD_SEC_TRIM_MULT]; > > card->ext_csd.sec_erase_mult = > > @@ -336,6 +394,9 @@ MMC_DEV_ATTR(manfid, "0x%06x\n", > card->cid.manfid); > > MMC_DEV_ATTR(name, "%s\n", card->cid.prod_name); > > MMC_DEV_ATTR(oemid, "0x%04x\n", card->cid.oemid); > > MMC_DEV_ATTR(serial, "0x%08x\n", card->cid.serial); > > +MMC_DEV_ATTR(enhen, "%d\n", card->ext_csd.enh_data_area_en); > > +MMC_DEV_ATTR(enhoff, "0x%llxB\n", card->ext_csd.enh_data_area_off); > > +MMC_DEV_ATTR(enhsz, "0x%xKB\n", card->ext_csd.enh_data_area_sz); > > If enhen == 0 and the user cats enhoff/enhsz, I think you should return > something like -EINVAL instead of 0.
