Decided to switch to CONFIG_MMC_SIMULATE_MAX_SPEED (and now the thread
has a new title) so as not to disturb the debugfs gohds. Added some
documentation to help the cause.
Outstanding will be whether to move this up to the block layer, or let
it lay in the mmc driver where we can continue to refine the speed and
behavior simulation model.

When CONFIG_MMC_BLOCK_MAX_SPEED is enabled, Expose max_read_speed,
max_write_speed and cache_size controls to simulate a slow eMMC device.
The boot default values for each respectively are
CONFIG_MMC_BLOCK_MAX_READ_SPEED, CONFIG_MMC_BLOCK_MAX_WRITE_SPEED and
CONFIG_MMC_BLOCK_CACHE_SIZE respectively; and if not defined are
0 (off), 0, (off) and 4 MB also respectively.
Extra , after 0.
Yes :-)
Dunno. At minimum, I'd call the option something like
"MMC_DEBUG_MAX_SPEED" and the speeds should be really controlled via
/sys or something...
Are controlled by sys. Concern over DEBUG_MAX_SPEED is the sys nodes
changing name to debug_max_read_speed, etc, which would in turn result
in a move to debugfs instead. Will have to think about all the side
effects of such a move.
...and ... is there reason to limit it to mmc devices? Making
harddrive slow would make it useful for testing, too...
The speed limit at this layer is not the same as in the block layer,
the two methods would 'join' at the same value when one does sustained
I/O most likely, but not at the random patterns we have experienced on
the devices. We would like additional wiggle room to simulate eMMC
stalls due to load leveling and other behaviors in the future. If we
moved up a layer we would have to simulate head seek and rotational
latency opening a can of worms we would feel best if left closed. View
it as a political decision.
...and you have the /sys interface. Drop the config options?
I needed a start up default value for boot-time simulations. If just
sys options, we would be applying the values far too late in the
operation. I expect some other folks using this simulation would like
to forgo an extended boot time, to have them set/reset under
programmed control. I was covering two bases.
