Hi All,

Now some SD/MMC controllers can support packed command or packed request,
that means it can package multiple requests to host controller to be handled
at one time, which can improve the I/O performence. Thus this patchset is
used to add the MMC packed function to support packed request or packed
command.

In this patch set, I implemented the SD host ADMA3 transfer mode to support
packed request. The ADMA3 transfer mode can process a multi-block data transfer
by using a pair of command descriptor and ADMA2 descriptor. In future we can
easily expand the MMC packed function to support packed command.

Below are some comparison data between packed request and non-packed request
with fio tool. The fio command I used is like below with changing the
'--rw' parameter and enabling the direct IO flag to measure the actual hardware
transfer speed.

./fio --filename=/dev/mmcblk0p30 --direct=1 --iodepth=20 --rw=read --bs=4K --size=512M --group_reporting --numjobs=20 --name=test_read

My eMMC card working at HS400 Enhanced strobe mode:
[    2.229856] mmc0: new HS400 Enhanced strobe MMC card at address 0001
[    2.237566] mmcblk0: mmc0:0001 HBG4a2 29.1 GiB 
[    2.242621] mmcblk0boot0: mmc0:0001 HBG4a2 partition 1 4.00 MiB
[    2.249110] mmcblk0boot1: mmc0:0001 HBG4a2 partition 2 4.00 MiB
[    2.255307] mmcblk0rpmb: mmc0:0001 HBG4a2 partition 3 4.00 MiB, chardev (248:0)

1. Non-packed request
I tested 3 times for each case and output a average speed.

1) Sequential read:
Speed: 28.9MiB/s, 26.4MiB/s, 30.9MiB/s
Average speed: 28.7MiB/s

2) Random read:
Speed: 18.2MiB/s, 8.9MiB/s, 15.8MiB/s
Average speed: 14.3MiB/s

3) Sequential write:
Speed: 21.1MiB/s, 27.9MiB/s, 25MiB/s
Average speed: 24.7MiB/s

4) Random write:
Speed: 21.5MiB/s, 18.1MiB/s, 18.1MiB/s
Average speed: 19.2MiB/s

2. Packed request
In packed request mode, I set the host controller can package maximum 10
requests at one time (Actually I can increase the package number), and I
enabled read/write packed request mode. Also I tested 3 times for each
case and output a average speed.

1) Sequential read:
Speed: 165MiB/s, 167MiB/s, 164MiB/s
Average speed: 165.3MiB/s

2) Random read:
Speed: 147MiB/s, 141MiB/s, 144MiB/s
Average speed: 144MiB/s

3) Sequential write:
Speed: 87.8MiB/s, 89.1MiB/s, 90.0MiB/s
Average speed: 89MiB/s

4) Random write:
Speed: 90.9MiB/s, 89.8MiB/s, 90.4MiB/s
Average speed: 90.4MiB/s

Form above data, we can see the packed request can improve the performance greatly.
Any comments are welcome. Thanks a lot.

This seems surprising low for a HS400ES card.  Do you know why that is?

Did you consider adapting the CQE interface?

I've set the clock to 400M, but it seems the hardware did not output
the corresponding clock. I will check my hardware.

I am not very familiar with CQE, since my controller did not support
it. But the MMC packed function had introduced some callbacks to help
for different controllers to do packed request, so I think it is easy
to adapt the CQE interface.

I meant did you consider using the CQE interface instead of creating another
one?

Sorry for misunderstanding. I think the core/core.c modification can
use the CQE interface, but there are some difference in core/block.c,
and I think they are different mechanisms, also I want to keep avoid
affecting CQE and normal transfer, so I think adding MMC packed
related interfaces will be easy to read and maintain.

I've checked my hardware and did not find any problem.

The reason of low speed is that I set the bs = 4k, when I changed the
bs=1M, and the speed can go up to 251MiB/s.

./fio --filename=/dev/mmcblk0p30 --direct=1 --iodepth=20 --rw=read
--bs=1M --size=512M --group_reporting --numjobs=20 --name=test_read
READ: bw=251MiB/s (263MB/s), 251MiB/s-251MiB/s (263MB/s-263MB/s),
io=10.0GiB (10.7GB), run=40826-40826msec
