Synopsys DesignWare mobile storage host controller supports three types of transfer mode: pio, internal dma and external dma. However, dw_mmc can only supports pio and internal dma now. Thus some platforms using dw-mshc integrated with generic dma can't work in dma mode. So we submit this patch to achieve it. And the config option, CONFIG_MMC_DW_IDMAC, was added by Will Newton (commit:f95f3850) for the first version of dw_mmc and never be touched since then. At that time dt-bindings hadn't been introduced into dw_mmc yet means we should select CONFIG_MMC_DW_IDMAC to enable internal dma mode at compile time. Nowadays, device-tree helps us to support a variety of boards with one kernel. That's why we need to remove it and decide the transfer mode by reading dw_mmc's HCON reg at runtime. This RFC patch needs lots of ACKs. I know it's hard, but it does need someone to make the running. Patch does the following things: - remove CONFIG_MMC_DW_IDMAC config option - add bindings for edmac used by synopsys-dw-mshc at runtime - add edmac support for synopsys-dw-mshc Patch v1~v4 is based on next of git://git.linaro.org/people/ulf.hansson/mmc Patch v5~v6 is rebased on dw-mmc-for-ulf-v4.2 of https://github.com/jh80chung/dw-mmc.git Test emmc throughput on my platform with edmac support and without edmac support(pio only) iozone -L64 -S32 -azecwI -+n -r4k -r64k -r128k -s1g -i0 -i1 -i2 -f datafile -Rb out.xls > /mnt/result.txt (light cpu loading, Direct IO, fixed line size, all pattern recycle, 1GB data in total) ___________________________________________________________ | external dma mode | |-----------------------------------------------------------| |blksz | Random Read | Random Write | Seq Read | Seq Write| |-----------------------------------------------------------| |4kB | 13953kB/s | 8602kB/s | 13672kB/s | 9785kB/s| |-----------------------------------------------------------| |64kB | 46058kB/s | 24794kB/s | 48058kB/s | 25418kB/s| |-----------------------------------------------------------| |128kB | 57026kB/s | 35117kB/s | 57375kB/s | 35183kB/s| |-----------------------------------------------------------| VS ___________________________________________________________ | pio mode | |-----------------------------------------------------------| |blksz | Random Read | Random Write | Seq Read | Seq Write| |-----------------------------------------------------------| |4kB | 11720kB/s | 8644kB/s | 11549kB/s | 9624kB/s| |-----------------------------------------------------------| |64kB | 21869kB/s | 24414kB/s | 22031kB/s | 27986kB/s| |-----------------------------------------------------------| |128kB | 23718kB/s | 34495kB/s | 24698kB/s | 34637kB/s| |-----------------------------------------------------------| Changes in v6: - add trans_mode condition for IDMAC initialization suggested by Heiko - re-test my patch on rk3188 platform and update commit msg - update performance of pio vs edmac in cover letter Changes in v5: - add the title of cover letter - fix typo of comment - add macro for reading HCON register - add "Acked-by: Krzysztof Kozlowski <k.kozlowski@xxxxxxxxxxx>" for exynos_defconfig patch - add "Acked-by: Vineet Gupta <vgupta@xxxxxxxxxxxx>" for axs10x_defconfig patch - add "Acked-by: Govindraj Raja <govindraj.raja@xxxxxxxxxx>" and "Acked-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>" for pistachio_defconfig patch - add "Acked-by: Joachim Eastwood <manabian@xxxxxxxxx>" for lpc18xx_defconfig patch - add "Acked-by: Wei Xu <xuwei5@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>" for hisi_defconfig patch - rebase on "https://github.com/jh80chung/dw-mmc.git tags/dw-mmc-for-ulf-v4.2" for merging easily Changes in v4: - remove "host->trans_mode" and use "host->use_dma" to indicate transfer mode. - remove all bt-bindings' changes since we don't need new properities. - check transfer mode at runtime by reading HCON reg - spilt defconfig changes for each sub-architecture - fix the title of cover letter - reuse some code for reducing code size Changes in v3: - choose transfer mode at runtime - remove all CONFIG_MMC_DW_IDMAC config option - add supports-idmac property for some platforms Changes in v2: - Fix typo of dev_info msg - remove unused dmach from declaration of dw_mci_dma_slave Shawn Lin (9): mmc: dw_mmc: Add external dma interface support Documentation: synopsys-dw-mshc: add bindings for idmac and edmac mips: pistachio_defconfig: remove CONFIG_MMC_DW_IDMAC arc: axs10x_defconfig: remove CONFIG_MMC_DW_IDMAC arm: exynos_defconfig: remove CONFIG_MMC_DW_IDMAC arm: hisi_defconfig: remove CONFIG_MMC_DW_IDMAC arm: lpc18xx_defconfig: remove CONFIG_MMC_DW_IDMAC arm: multi_v7_defconfig: remove CONFIG_MMC_DW_IDMAC arm: zx_defconfig: remove CONFIG_MMC_DW_IDMAC .../devicetree/bindings/mmc/synopsys-dw-mshc.txt | 25 ++ arch/arc/configs/axs101_defconfig | 1 - arch/arc/configs/axs103_defconfig | 1 - arch/arc/configs/axs103_smp_defconfig | 1 - arch/arm/configs/exynos_defconfig | 1 - arch/arm/configs/hisi_defconfig | 1 - arch/arm/configs/lpc18xx_defconfig | 1 - arch/arm/configs/multi_v7_defconfig | 1 - arch/arm/configs/zx_defconfig | 1 - arch/mips/configs/pistachio_defconfig | 1 - drivers/mmc/host/Kconfig | 11 +- drivers/mmc/host/dw_mmc-pltfm.c | 2 + drivers/mmc/host/dw_mmc.c | 264 +++++++++++++++++---- drivers/mmc/host/dw_mmc.h | 5 + include/linux/mmc/dw_mmc.h | 27 ++- 15 files changed, 267 insertions(+), 76 deletions(-) -- 2.3.7 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-mmc" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
