Hi
The RPMB partition only allows certain commands. In particular,
the tuning command (CMD21) is not allowed - refer JEDEC eMMC
standard v5.1 section 6.2.2 Command restrictions.
That means commands will begin failing if re-tuning is needed
while switched to the RPMB partition.
Here are 4 options to fix the problem:
1. The approach taken by this patch set:
To avoid tuning for RPMB, switch to High Speed mode from HS200
or HS400 mode if re-tuning has been enabled. And switch back
when leaving RPMB.
Advantages: Directly does what needs to be done.
Disadvantages: Assumes the mode switching will work.
2. Same as 1 but disable the tuning modes by removing them from
card->mmc_avail_type and doing a full mmc_reset().
Advantages: Simpler to program
Disadvantages: Doing a full reset is slower. Doing a full reset
is not an expected consequence of accessing RPMB.
3. Simply disable re-tuning and attempt to recover from any errors.
Disadvantages: Due to the interdependent nature of RPMB reads/writes
it might not be possible to recover without returning an error to the
RPMB user. Also it would be difficult to test if the recovery actually
worked in all cases.
4. Do a partiton switch as part of re-tuning.
Disadvantages: Makes re-tuning more complicated. Would require moving
the control of partition switching into the core. CRC errors arising
from the need to re-tune might break the interdependent nature of RPMB
operations.
As a final note, if a solution is found then we might be able to revert
commit 4e93b9a6abc0 ("mmc: card: Don't access RPMB partitions for normal
read/write").
