Hello Ritesh Harjani,
Thanks for the info Ritesh, I'll try out your pointer to mmc trace
events next time i run into eMMC issue
In the current case, I found out that in case of file deletion, only the
file's metadata(such as entry in inode table, inode_bitmap and other
filesystem parameters) is freed and it won't invoke the ERASE command
seq explicitly(atleast in case of EXT4 it doesn't send ERASE CMD).
I think only in case of formatting(mkfs) of the partition or the whole
eMMC, ERASE command is issued.
Thanks
Sheetal

Hi Sheetal,
Try enabling mmc trace events to check what is the cmd you are getting
to confirm erase going through.
You shoud get cmd 35/36/38 if erase is going through in case of emmc.

Hello,
I'm trying to send ERASE Command to the emmc by deleting a file on one of
the emmc partitions and then doing a sync, But I'm noticing that even this
will not issue the erase command to emmc.
I did trace the code on, from where this erase command is issued, but my
trace ended at an ioctl call "do_vfs_ioctl()" more specific
"SYSCALL_DEFINE3(ioctl, unsigned int, fd, unsigned int, cmd, unsigned long,
arg)" system call definition does a call to do_vfs_ioctl.
Please help me understand how to initiate this from userspace.
