Shouldn’t the BKOPS_STATUS be checked prior to disabling the BKOPS activity of the device?


Hrmm.. I read the whole section of spec for it, and I did find this
requirement for manul bkops but not for the auto one. So what should we
do if using the auto one?


In case of AUTO BKOPS, the eMMC Device should perform internal GC
in the same way as in case of MANUAL BKOPS.
The only difference is a host awareness.

agree.

Although there is no requirement in the spec, I think the driver can
give some time to the device to perform/complete its internal GC during the idle time.
Thus I think we can check the BKOPS_STATUS on Runtime suspend.

We shouldn't diable bkops on *runtime* suspend as it's just the right
time for firmware to do GC. We could consider to check and wait for
the status when doing poweroff, although it seems firmware should be
able to accept the disable cmd and deal the on-going work perfectly
when doing bkops without host's awareness, just the same way as suddent
power loss cases.

If I am not wrong, in current implementation of runtime suspend,
the driver stops BKOPS (send HPI) just before sending sleep command,
see _mmc_suspend(), depends on “MMC_CAP_AGGRESSIVE_PM” flag.
In this case, the eMMC device will not have enough time to perform internal
BKOPS in both – Manual and Auto BKOPS configurations.


ye, so it seems a pre-exiting issue before introducing auto bkops?
I think we can push another patch to improve it but not handling
it for this $SUBJECT, does it sound ok to you?

For the poweroff, it should be OK with a current implementation of
PON (mmc_poweroff_notify())


Also I don't know whether the firmware will reflect its status on
BKOPS_STATUS or not when enabling the auto one. I will do more test.

Anyway, thanks for sharing your thought.
Also Adrian point out that currently we trigger manual bkosp from
userspace via mmc-utils, and I agreed we shouldn't force kernel stack
to enable it defaultly. So I'm prone not to update this $SUBJECT and
migrate it to mmc-utils later.

Thanks,
Alex
