[PATCH v3] mmc: core: Add support for idle time BKOPS

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Devices have various maintenance operations need to perform internally.
In order to reduce latencies during time critical operations like read
and write, it is better to execute maintenance operations in other
times - when the host is not being serviced. Such operations are called
Background operations (BKOPS).
The device notifies the status of the BKOPS need by updating BKOPS_STATUS
(EXT_CSD byte [246]).

According to the standard a host that supports BKOPS shall check the
status periodically and start background operations as needed, so that
the device has enough time for its maintenance operations.

This patch adds support for this periodic check of the BKOPS status.
Since foreground operations are of higher priority than background
operations the host will check the need for BKOPS when it is idle,
and in case of an incoming request the BKOPS operation will be
interrupted.

When the mmcqd thread is idle, a delayed work is created to check the
need for BKOPS. The time to start the delayed work is calculated based
on the host controller suspend timeout, in case it was set. If not, a
default time is used.
If BKOPS are required in level 1, which is non-blocking, there will be
polling of the card status to wait for the BKOPS completion and prevent
suspend that will interrupt the BKOPS.
If the card raised an exception, the need for urgent BKOPS (level 2/3)
will be checked immediately and if needed, the BKOPS will be performed
without waiting for the next idle time.

This patch is based on the periodic BKOPS implementation in version 8 of "support BKOPS feature for eMMC" patch.
The patch was modified to answer the following issues:
- In order to prevent a race condition between going into suspend and starting BKOPS, 
  the suspend timeout of the host controller is taking into accound in determination of the start time 
  of the delayed work
- Since mmc_start_bkops is called from two contexts now, mmc_claim_host was moved to the beginning of the function
- Also, the check of doing_bkops should be protected when determing if an HPI is needed due to the same reason.

Changes in v3:
    - Move the call to stop_bkops to block.c. 
      This allows us to remove the mmc_claim_host from inside the function and doesn't cause additional degradation 
      due to un-neccessary calim host operation

Changes in v2:
    - Check the number of written / discarded sectors as the trigger for checking the BKOPS need.
    - Code review fixes
