[PATCH v4] mmc: fix async request mechanism for sequential read scenarios

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

 



When current request is running on the bus and if next request fetched
by mmcqd is NULL, mmc context (mmcqd thread) gets blocked until the
current request completes. This means if new request comes in while
the mmcqd thread is blocked, this new request can not be prepared in
parallel to current ongoing request. This may result in latency to
start new request.

This change allows to wake up the MMC thread (which
is waiting for the current running request to complete). Now once the
MMC thread is woken up, new request can be fetched and prepared in
parallel to current running request which means this new request can
be started immediately after the current running request completes.

With this change read throughput is improved by 16%.

v4:     keeps new synchronization mechanism within mmc/core
	layer, so mmc/core external API's are not changed.
	- context_info moved into mmc_host struct
	- context_info initialized in mmc_attach_mmc()

v3:
	- new MMC_QUEUE_NEW_REQUEST flag to mark new request case
	- lock added to update is_new_req flag
	- condition for sending new req notification changed
	- Moved start waiting for new req notification
	  after fetching NULL
v2: 
	- Removed synchronization flags
	- removed lock from done()
	- flags names changed
v1: 
	- Initial submit
