When current request is running on the bus and if next request fetched
by mmcqd is NULL, mmc context (mmcqd thread) gets blocked until the
current request completes. This means if new request comes in while
the mmcqd thread is blocked, this new request can not be prepared in
parallel to current ongoing request. This may result in latency to
start new request.

This change allows to wake up the MMC thread (which
is waiting for the current running request to complete). Now once the
MMC thread is woken up, new request can be fetched and prepared in
parallel to current running request which means this new request can
be started immediately after the current running request completes.

With this change read throughput is improved by 16%.

v4:     keeps new synchronization mechanism within mmc/core
	layer, so mmc/core external API's are not changed.
	- context_info moved into mmc_host struct
	- context_info initialized in mmc_attach_mmc()

v3:
	- new MMC_QUEUE_NEW_REQUEST flag to mark new request case
	- lock added to update is_new_req flag
	- condition for sending new req notification changed
	- Moved start waiting for new req notification
	  after fetching NULL
v2: 
	- Removed synchronization flags
	- removed lock from done()
	- flags names changed
v1: 
	- Initial submit

Hi,

Doesn't it consider SD path?
It have a problem with uninitialized 'context_info'.
'context_info' is moved into mmc_host struct in v4.
Please, could you explain the reason in brief?

Thanks,
Seungwon Jeon

The problem I'm trying to resolve with the v4 change is: there should be
no core/core.c API change from upper layers point of view.

There was such violation, when the synchronization mechanism of async
request for data commands was changed (from "completion" to "wait_event"
+ number of flags to pass event reason).

Before v4, the 'context_info' initialized by mmc_init_queue() function
and this is valid only for mmcblk. For example when running the mmc_test
module, the code for card/queue.c, card/block.c layers is not run at all
and the struct remains uninitialized.

In the current version the initialization was moved into
mmc_attach_mmc(), but now, I understand, that this initialization should
be moved even before mmc_attach_XXX() (XXX is sdio/sd/mmc...) - it may
be placed in  mmc_rescan_try_freq().

Will resend v4 after the testing.

'mmc_host' structure contains a host information for all sdio/sd/mmc, so
'context_info' may be accessed by any protocol willing to use
NEW_REQUEST notification (when async request mechanism is used).
