[PATCH 0/3] mmc: renesas_sdhi_internal_dmac: improve performance by using IOMMU

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This patch set is based on renesas-drivers.git /
renesas-drivers-2019-04-23-v5.1-rc6 tag.

Since SDHI host internal DMAC of the R-Car Gen3 cannot handle two or more
segments, the performance rate (especially, eMMC HS400 reading) is not good.
However, if IOMMU is enabled on the DMAC, since IOMMU will map multiple
scatter gather buffers as one contignous iova, the DMAC can handle the iova
as well and then the performance rate is possible to improve. In fact,
I have measured the performance by using bonnie++, "Sequential Input - block"
rate was improved on all platforms (r8a7795, r8a77965 and r8a77990).
Please refer to the end of this email about the performance.
(I beleive if the performance is improved, the CPU load is also increased.)

However, in case of a sdio card (especiialy some WiFi cards/drivers),
scatter gather buffers are possible to be not contiguous iova because
each scatter gather buffer has only about 1500 bytes, the DMAC cannot
handle it. So, this patch set adds init_card() ops to detect the card
type, and then the driver changes the max_segs if the DMAC is under
IOMMU environment and an sd card/mmc is detected.
