From: Abbas Raza <Abbas_Raza@xxxxxxxxxx> According to SD Physical Layer Specifications: Locked cards respond to (and execute) all commands in the "basic" command class (class 0), ACMD41, CMD16 and "lock card" command class. Thus, the host is allowed to reset, initialize, select, query for status, etc., but not to access data on the card. But when a locked card is inserted into system having no key added for this card, following errors are observed untill the card is removed [ 36.955193] mmc0: card is locked. [ 36.959746] mmc (null): Error, request_key -2 [ 36.964622] mmc0: Cannot find matching key [ 36.968765] mmc0: Card unlock failed.

[ 46.249273] mmcblk0: timed out sending r/w cmd command, card status 0x2400900 [ 46.259247] mmcblk0: timed out sending r/w cmd command, card status 0x2400900 [ 46.269215] mmcblk0: timed out sending r/w cmd command, card status 0x2400900 [ 46.279183] mmcblk0: timed out sending r/w cmd command, card status 0x2400900 [ 46.289151] mmcblk0: timed out sending r/w cmd command, card status 0x2400900 As a workaround, skip all the regular block io operations if the card is locked. One can unlock the card after system boot by following below steps 1) Add key for this card. 2) Unlock the card using sysfs attribute 'unlock_retry' for this card.
