When the mmcqd thread is idle, a delayed work is created to check the need for BKOPs. The time to start the delayed work is calculated based on the host controller suspend timeout, in case it was set. If not, a default time is used.
If BKOPs is required in level 1, which is non-blocking, there will be polling of the card status to wait for the BKOPs completion and prevent suspend that will interrupt the BKOPs.
If the card raised an exception, the need for urgent BKOPs (level 2/3) will be checked immediately and if needed, the BKOPs will be performed without waiting for the next idle time.

This patch depends on the following patch:
[PATCH v11] mmc: support BKOPS feature for eMMC

This patch is based on the periodic BKOPs implementation in version 8 of "support BKOPS feature for eMMC" patch. The patch was modified to answer the following issues:
- In order to prevent a race condition between going into suspend and starting BKOPs,
the suspend timeout of the host controller is taking into accound in determination of the start time of the delayed work
- Since mmc_start_bkops is called from two contexts now, mmc_claim_host was moved to the beginning of the function
- Also, the check of doing_bkops should be protected when determing if an HPI is needed due to the same reason.
- Starting and canceling the delayed work in each idle caused degradation of iozone performance. Therefore, the delayed work is not started on each idle. Currently the number of issued requests from the last delayed work is the trigger. We still investigate the best trigger for starting the delayed work.
- To prevent degaradtion of iozone performance we also moved the call to mmc_claim_host outside of mmc_stop_bkops and its release is done after issue_fn. This prevents an addition of a full claim and release, that is also done in issue_fn for the first request after idle time.

When the mmcqd thread is idle, a delayed work is created to check the need for BKOPs. The time to start the delayed work is calculated based on the host controller suspend timeout, in case it was set. If not, a default time is used.
If BKOPs is required in level 1, which is non-blocking, there will be polling of the card status to wait for the BKOPs completion and prevent suspend that will interrupt the BKOPs.
If the card raised an exception, the need for urgent BKOPs (level 2/3) will be checked immediately and if needed, the BKOPs will be performed without waiting for the next idle time.

This patch depends on the following patch:
[PATCH v11] mmc: support BKOPS feature for eMMC

This patch is based on the periodic BKOPs implementation in version 8 of "support BKOPS feature for eMMC" patch.
The patch was modified to answer the following issues:
- In order to prevent a race condition between going into suspend and starting BKOPs,
the suspend timeout of the host controller is taking into accound in
determination of the start time
of the delayed work
- Since mmc_start_bkops is called from two contexts now, mmc_claim_host was moved to the beginning of the function
- Also, the check of doing_bkops should be protected when determing if an HPI is needed due to the same reason.
- Starting and canceling the delayed work in each idle caused degradation of iozone performance. Therefore,
the delayed work is not started on each idle. Currently the number of
issued requests from the last delayed work
is the trigger. We still investigate the best trigger for starting the
delayed work.
- To prevent degaradtion of iozone performance we also moved the call to mmc_claim_host outside of mmc_stop_bkops
and its release is done after issue_fn. This prevents an addition of a
full claim and release, that is also done
in issue_fn for the first request after idle time.

How did you get the minimum request number "1000"? Is this tunable value?

We tried several values to prevent degradation of iozone results and this gave the best results.
We are still tuning this value and one of the options is to count the number of write requests only (since read activity on the card won't change the need for BKOPs).

PATCH v2 1/1 mmc: core: Add support for idle time BKOPS

Devices have various maintenance operations need to perform internally. In order to reduce latencies during time critical operations like read and write, it is better to execute maintenance operations in other times - when the host is not being serviced. Such operations are called Background operations (BKOPS).
The device notifies the status of the BKOPS need by updating BKOPS_STATUS (EXT_CSD byte [246]).

According to the standard a host that supports BKOPS shall check the status periodically and start background operations as needed, so that the device has enough time for its maintenance operations.

This patch adds support for this periodic check of the BKOPS status. Since foreground operations are of higher priority than background operations the host will check the need for BKOPS when it is idle, and in case of an incoming request the BKOPS operation will be interrupted.

When the mmcqd thread is idle, a delayed work is created to check the need for BKOPS. The time to start the delayed work is calculated based on the host controller suspend timeout, in case it was set. If not, a default time is used.
If BKOPS are required in level 1, which is non-blocking, there will be polling of the card status to wait for the BKOPS completion and prevent suspend that will interrupt the BKOPS.
If the card raised an exception, the need for urgent BKOPS (level 2/3) will be checked immediately and if needed, the BKOPS will be performed without waiting for the next idle time.

---
This patch is based on the periodic BKOPS implementation in version 8 of "support BKOPS feature for eMMC" patch. The patch was modified to answer the following issues:
- In order to prevent a race condition between going into suspend and starting BKOPS,
the suspend timeout of the host controller is taking into accound in determination of the start time of the delayed work
- Since mmc_start_bkops is called from two contexts now, mmc_claim_host was moved to the beginning of the function
- Also, the check of doing_bkops should be protected when determing if an HPI is needed due to the same reason.
- Starting and canceling the delayed work in each idle caused degradation of iozone performance. Therefore, the delayed work is not started on each idle. The amount of sectors changed (written or discard) from the last delayed work is the trigger for starting the delayed BKOPS work.

Re: [PATCH v2] mmc: core: Add support for idle time BKOPS

Hi Chris and all,

According to the eMMC4.5 standard, a host that enables the BKOPS_EN bit must also check the BKOPS status periodically:
"Host shall check the status periodically and start background operations as needed, so that the device has enough time for its maintenance operations, to help reduce the latencies during foreground operations. If the status is at level 3 ("critical"), some operations may extend beyond their original timeouts due to maintenance operations which cannot be delayed anymore. The host should give the device enough time for background operations to avoid getting to this level in the first place."

As mentioned in the standard quotation above, it is not recommended to handle only BKOPS of level 3 since it can lead to foreground operations timeout.

I would appreciate if you could review this change to add the periodic BKOPS on top of handling BKOPS level 3 that was already mainlined.

Thnaks,
Maya

Devices have various maintenance operations need to perform internally. In order to reduce latencies during time critical operations like read and write, it is better to execute maintenance operations in other times - when the host is not being serviced. Such operations are called Background operations (BKOPS).
The device notifies the status of the BKOPS need by updating BKOPS_STATUS (EXT_CSD byte [246]).

According to the standard a host that supports BKOPS shall check the status periodically and start background operations as needed, so that the device has enough time for its maintenance operations.

This patch adds support for this periodic check of the BKOPS status. Since foreground operations are of higher priority than background operations the host will check the need for BKOPS when it is idle, and in case of an incoming request the BKOPS operation will be interrupted.

When the mmcqd thread is idle, a delayed work is created to check the need for BKOPS. The time to start the delayed work is calculated based on the host controller suspend timeout, in case it was set. If not, a default time is used.
If BKOPS are required in level 1, which is non-blocking, there will be polling of the card status to wait for the BKOPS completion and prevent suspend that will interrupt the BKOPS.
If the card raised an exception, the need for urgent BKOPS (level 2/3) will be checked immediately and if needed, the BKOPS will be performed without waiting for the next idle time.

---
This patch is based on the periodic BKOPS implementation in version 8 of "support BKOPS feature for eMMC" patch. The patch was modified to answer the following issues:
- In order to prevent a race condition between going into suspend and starting BKOPS,
the suspend timeout of the host controller is taking into accound in determination of the start time of the delayed work
- Since mmc_start_bkops is called from two contexts now, mmc_claim_host was moved to the beginning of the function
- Also, the check of doing_bkops should be protected when determing if an HPI is needed due to the same reason.
- Starting and canceling the delayed work in each idle caused degradation of iozone performance. Therefore, the delayed work is not started on each idle. The amount of sectors changed (written or discard) from the last delayed work is the trigger for starting the delayed BKOPS work.

PATCH v2 1/1 mmc: fix async request mechanism for sequential read scenarios

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%.

Re: [PATCH v2] mmc: fix async request mechanism for sequential read scenarios

Hi Konstantin,

Quoted 7 lines · Konstantin Dorfman

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.

Quoted 7 lines

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%.

What HW and what test cases have you been running?

Re: [PATCH v2] mmc: fix async request mechanism for sequential read scenarios

Hi Konstantin,

Quoted 10 lines · Per Förlin

Hi Konstantin,

Quoted 7 lines · Konstantin Dorfman

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.

Quoted 8 lines
Quoted 7 lines

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%.

What HW and what test cases have you been running?

I also want to know which benchmark use?
If you can share it, i will test with yours.

Best Regards,
Jaehoon Chung

Hi Konstantin,

Quoted 13 lines · Konstantin Dorfman

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%.

What HW and what test cases have you been running?

I also want to know which benchmark use?
If you can share it, i will test with yours.

Best Regards,
Jaehoon Chung

Our tests were done using lmdd and tiotest and iozone:
TIOTEST
-------
tiotest seq: ./data/tiotest -t 1 -d /data/mmc0 -f 800 -b $((512*1024)) -k 1 -k 3

LMDD

lmdd write: ./data/lmdd if=internal of=/data/mmc0/push1 bs=128k count=2000 sync=1

lmdd read: ./data/lmdd of=internal if=/data/mmc0/push1 bs=128k count=2000

IOZONE
------
iozone (worst): ./data/iozone -i0 -i2 -r4k -s100m -O -o -I -f /data/mmc0/file3

iozone (best): ./data/iozone -i0 -i2 -r4k -s100m -O -I -f /data/mmc0/file3

Re: [PATCH v2] mmc: fix async request mechanism for sequential read scenarios

In reply to Per Förlin

Hi,

I tested with this patch.
But i got some problem. So i want to get your opinion. I used eMMC4.5 card, and using ddr mode, dw-mmc controller. Also use the post/pre-request() in controller.

Then i got this message every time.

[    7.735520] mmc0: new request while areq = eda3046c

What's wrong?

Re: [PATCH v2] mmc: fix async request mechanism for sequential read scenarios

Hi Jaehoon,

While sending patch V2 the wrong version was sent, that doen't include the lock.
This causes the crash that you have seen.
Konstantin is currently at the Linux Embedded Conference and would be able to send the new patch only early next week.
Until then you can use patch V1 to check the performance improvement.

Thanks,
Maya

Hi,

I tested with this patch.
But i got some problem. So i want to get your opinion. I used eMMC4.5 card, and using ddr mode, dw-mmc controller. Also use the post/pre-request() in controller.

Then i got this message every time.

[    7.735520] mmc0: new request while areq = eda3046c

What's wrong?

Best Regards,
Jaehoon Chung

Hi Konstantin,

Quoted 7 lines · Konstantin Dorfman

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.

Quoted 7 lines

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%.

What HW and what test cases have you been running?

Re: [PATCH v2] mmc: fix async request mechanism for sequential read scenarios

Hi Maya,

Thank you for reply. I will check the patch v1 and share the result.

Hi Jaehoon,

While sending patch V2 the wrong version was sent, that doen't include the lock.
This causes the crash that you have seen.
Konstantin is currently at the Linux Embedded Conference and would be able to send the new patch only early next week.
Until then you can use patch V1 to check the performance improvement.

Thanks,
Maya

Hi,

I tested with this patch.
But i got some problem. So i want to get your opinion. I used eMMC4.5 card, and using ddr mode, dw-mmc controller. Also use the post/pre-request() in controller.

Then i got this message every time.

[    7.735520] mmc0: new request while areq = eda3046c

What's wrong?

Hi Konstantin,

Quoted 7 lines · Konstantin Dorfman

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.

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%.

What HW and what test cases have you been running?

Hi Konstantin,

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%.

What HW and what test cases have you been running?

I use the msm_sdcc controller and ran lmdd, tiotest, iozone benchmark tool (details were on other mail in this thread).

I ran it on Qualcomm® SnapdragonT S4 ProAPQ8064

Thanks,

This flag used as indication that mmc_blk_issue_rw_rq() returned because of new request notification, so the flow continues rollback to fetch new request from mmc_queue_thread() (queue.c).

Before calling the mmc_blk_issue_rw_rq() need to clear the flag to be able to trigger it again and to differ the case with new packet notification from legacy flow (when returning from mmc_blk_issue_rw_rq() because request is done/finished.

Thanks,

PATCH v3 1/1 mmc: fix async request mechanism for sequential read scenarios

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%.

---
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

RE: [PATCH v3] mmc: fix async request mechanism for sequential read scenarios

Hi Konstantin,

I'm looking into this patch.
Idea looks good as a whole.

Quoted 85 lines · Konstantin Dorfman

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%.

---
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

Here, we'll try to send previous request which is not completed successfully.
And then at the top of do~while, mmc_start_req will be called for current request and get the status. Above change looks like unnecessary. Is there any reason?

Thanks,

RE: [PATCH v3] mmc: fix async request mechanism for sequential read scenarios

I checked this commit.
v3 doesn't work in dw_mmc host driver.
It makes some driver warning while v1 is fine.
I'm finding the reason. And could you check minor one below?

Here, we'll try to send previous request which is not completed successfully.
And then at the top of do~while, mmc_start_req will be called for current request and get the status. Above change looks like unnecessary. Is there any reason?

RE: [PATCH v3] mmc: fix async request mechanism for sequential read scenarios

On Thursday, November 15, 2012, Seungwon Jeon <[email protected]>

Quoted 4 lines

I checked this commit.
v3 doesn't work in dw_mmc host driver.
It makes some driver warning while v1 is fine.
I'm finding the reason. And could you check minor one below?

Please let me correct my test. There is something applied wrong. Anyway I saw the working fine. Sorry for the confusion.

Thanks,

Hi Konstantin,

I'm looking into this patch.
Idea looks good as a whole.

Quoted 85 lines · Konstantin Dorfman

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%.

---
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

PATCH v3 1/1 mmc: core: Add support for idle time BKOPS

Devices have various maintenance operations need to perform internally. In order to reduce latencies during time critical operations like read and write, it is better to execute maintenance operations in other times - when the host is not being serviced. Such operations are called Background operations (BKOPS).
The device notifies the status of the BKOPS need by updating BKOPS_STATUS (EXT_CSD byte [246]).

According to the standard a host that supports BKOPS shall check the status periodically and start background operations as needed, so that the device has enough time for its maintenance operations.

This patch adds support for this periodic check of the BKOPS status. Since foreground operations are of higher priority than background operations the host will check the need for BKOPS when it is idle, and in case of an incoming request the BKOPS operation will be interrupted.

When the mmcqd thread is idle, a delayed work is created to check the need for BKOPS. The time to start the delayed work is calculated based on the host controller suspend timeout, in case it was set. If not, a default time is used.
If BKOPS are required in level 1, which is non-blocking, there will be polling of the card status to wait for the BKOPS completion and prevent suspend that will interrupt the BKOPS.
If the card raised an exception, the need for urgent BKOPS (level 2/3) will be checked immediately and if needed, the BKOPS will be performed without waiting for the next idle time.

---
This patch is based on the periodic BKOPS implementation in version 8 of "support BKOPS feature for eMMC" patch. The patch was modified to answer the following issues:
- In order to prevent a race condition between going into suspend and starting BKOPS,
the suspend timeout of the host controller is taking into accound in determination of the start time of the delayed work
- Since mmc_start_bkops is called from two contexts now, mmc_claim_host was moved to the beginning of the function
- Also, the check of doing_bkops should be protected when determing if an HPI is needed due to the same reason.

Changes in v3:
- Move the call to stop_bkops to block.c.
This allows us to remove the mmc_claim_host from inside the function and doesn't cause additional degradation due to un-neccessary calim host operation

Changes in v2:
- Check the number of written / discarded sectors as the trigger for checking the BKOPS need.
- Code review fixes

Re: [PATCH v3] mmc: core: Add support for idle time BKOPS

Hi Chris,

I managed to find a solution in which there is no need to check the number of written / discarded sectors as a trigger for BKOPS status check. I moved the code that checks the need to stop the BKOPS to mmc/block code, in which there is no need for additional claim_host and remove_host operations.
Please review this patch.

Thanks,
Maya

Re: [PATCH v3] mmc: core: Add support for idle time BKOPS

Hi Maya,

Quoted 6 lines · On Sun, Nov 25 2012, [email protected] wrote:

I managed to find a solution in which there is no need to check the number of written / discarded sectors as a trigger for BKOPS status check. I moved the code that checks the need to stop the BKOPS to mmc/block code, in which there is no need for additional claim_host and remove_host operations.
Please review this patch.

Looks good -- if we find that counting with a bitmask of eraseblocks is necessary it can be added on later.

Do you have a testing plan for the patch? I wonder if we could test the effects on battery life and latency.

Thanks!

Re: [PATCH v3] mmc: core: Add support for idle time BKOPS

In reply to Maya Erez

Hi Maya,

Thank you a lot for working idle time BKOPS.

I tested with this patch. It's working fine.(Suspend/resume is also working well.) Test controller is sdhci controller.
When i tested the performance with iozone, i didn't find that performance is decreased. Well, as Chris is mentioned, do you have any test plan?
So I will test more with this patch, because i want to test with dw-mmc controller, too.

Devices have various maintenance operations need to perform internally. In order to reduce latencies during time critical operations like read and write, it is better to execute maintenance operations in other times - when the host is not being serviced. Such operations are called Background operations (BKOPS).
The device notifies the status of the BKOPS need by updating BKOPS_STATUS (EXT_CSD byte [246]).

According to the standard a host that supports BKOPS shall check the status periodically and start background operations as needed, so that the device has enough time for its maintenance operations.

This patch adds support for this periodic check of the BKOPS status. Since foreground operations are of higher priority than background operations the host will check the need for BKOPS when it is idle, and in case of an incoming request the BKOPS operation will be interrupted.

When the mmcqd thread is idle, a delayed work is created to check the need for BKOPS. The time to start the delayed work is calculated based on the host controller suspend timeout, in case it was set. If not, a default time is used.
If BKOPS are required in level 1, which is non-blocking, there will be polling of the card status to wait for the BKOPS completion and prevent suspend that will interrupt the BKOPS.
If the card raised an exception, the need for urgent BKOPS (level 2/3) will be checked immediately and if needed, the BKOPS will be performed without waiting for the next idle time.

---
This patch is based on the periodic BKOPS implementation in version 8 of "support BKOPS feature for eMMC" patch. The patch was modified to answer the following issues:
- In order to prevent a race condition between going into suspend and starting BKOPS,
the suspend timeout of the host controller is taking into accound in determination of the start time of the delayed work
- Since mmc_start_bkops is called from two contexts now, mmc_claim_host was moved to the beginning of the function
- Also, the check of doing_bkops should be protected when determing if an HPI is needed due to the same reason.

Changes in v3:
- Move the call to stop_bkops to block.c.
This allows us to remove the mmc_claim_host from inside the function and doesn't cause additional degradation due to un-neccessary calim host operation

Changes in v2:
- Check the number of written / discarded sectors as the trigger for checking the BKOPS need.
- Code review fixes

We didn't need to check whether mmc_stop_bkops is success or not? If mmc_stop_bkops() is failed, then bkops is continuously running.

Re: [PATCH v3] mmc: core: Add support for idle time BKOPS

Hi Jaehoon,

With this patch we don't expect to see any degradation. Thanks for verifying that.
The test plan would be to run the lmdd and iozone benchmarks with this patch and verify that the performance is not degraded.
I verified it with the msm_sdcc controller.

Chris - We do expect it to influence the battery consumption, since we now delay getting into suspend (since mmc_start_bkops which is called after the delayed work is executed claims the host).
The solution for that should be done by the controller which can shorten the timeout given to pm_schedule_suspend by the periodic BKOPS idle time. Does it make sense to you?

Thanks,
Maya

Hi Maya,

Thank you a lot for working idle time BKOPS.

I tested with this patch. It's working fine.(Suspend/resume is also working well.)
Test controller is sdhci controller.
When i tested the performance with iozone, i didn't find that performance is decreased.
Well, as Chris is mentioned, do you have any test plan?
So I will test more with this patch, because i want to test with dw-mmc controller, too.

Devices have various maintenance operations need to perform internally. In order to reduce latencies during time critical operations like read and write, it is better to execute maintenance operations in other times - when the host is not being serviced. Such operations are called Background operations (BKOPS).
The device notifies the status of the BKOPS need by updating BKOPS_STATUS
(EXT_CSD byte [246]).

According to the standard a host that supports BKOPS shall check the status periodically and start background operations as needed, so that the device has enough time for its maintenance operations.

This patch adds support for this periodic check of the BKOPS status. Since foreground operations are of higher priority than background operations the host will check the need for BKOPS when it is idle, and in case of an incoming request the BKOPS operation will be interrupted.

When the mmcqd thread is idle, a delayed work is created to check the need for BKOPS. The time to start the delayed work is calculated based on the host controller suspend timeout, in case it was set. If not, a default time is used.
If BKOPS are required in level 1, which is non-blocking, there will be polling of the card status to wait for the BKOPS completion and prevent suspend that will interrupt the BKOPS.
If the card raised an exception, the need for urgent BKOPS (level 2/3) will be checked immediately and if needed, the BKOPS will be performed without waiting for the next idle time.

---
This patch is based on the periodic BKOPS implementation in version 8 of "support BKOPS feature for eMMC" patch.
The patch was modified to answer the following issues:
- In order to prevent a race condition between going into suspend and starting BKOPS,
the suspend timeout of the host controller is taking into accound in
determination of the start time
of the delayed work
- Since mmc_start_bkops is called from two contexts now, mmc_claim_host was moved to the beginning of the function
- Also, the check of doing_bkops should be protected when determing if an HPI is needed due to the same reason.

Changes in v3:
- Move the call to stop_bkops to block.c.
This allows us to remove the mmc_claim_host from inside the
function and doesn't cause additional degradation
due to un-neccessary calim host operation

Changes in v2:
- Check the number of written / discarded sectors as the trigger for
checking the BKOPS need.
- Code review fixes

We didn't need to check whether mmc_stop_bkops is success or not? If mmc_stop_bkops() is failed, then bkops is continuously running.

Re: [PATCH v3] mmc: core: Add support for idle time BKOPS

Hi Jaehoon,

With this patch we don't expect to see any degradation. Thanks for verifying that.
The test plan would be to run the lmdd and iozone benchmarks with this patch and verify that the performance is not degraded.
I verified it with the msm_sdcc controller.

Chris - We do expect it to influence the battery consumption, since we now delay getting into suspend (since mmc_start_bkops which is called after the delayed work is executed claims the host).
The solution for that should be done by the controller which can shorten the timeout given to pm_schedule_suspend by the periodic BKOPS idle time. Does it make sense to you?

Hi Maya,

Thank you a lot for working idle time BKOPS.

I tested with this patch. It's working fine.(Suspend/resume is also working well.)
Test controller is sdhci controller.
When i tested the performance with iozone, i didn't find that performance is decreased.
Well, as Chris is mentioned, do you have any test plan?
So I will test more with this patch, because i want to test with dw-mmc controller, too.

Devices have various maintenance operations need to perform internally. In order to reduce latencies during time critical operations like read and write, it is better to execute maintenance operations in other times - when the host is not being serviced. Such operations are called Background operations (BKOPS).
The device notifies the status of the BKOPS need by updating BKOPS_STATUS
(EXT_CSD byte [246]).

According to the standard a host that supports BKOPS shall check the status periodically and start background operations as needed, so that the device has enough time for its maintenance operations.

This patch adds support for this periodic check of the BKOPS status. Since foreground operations are of higher priority than background operations the host will check the need for BKOPS when it is idle, and in case of an incoming request the BKOPS operation will be interrupted.

When the mmcqd thread is idle, a delayed work is created to check the need for BKOPS. The time to start the delayed work is calculated based on the host controller suspend timeout, in case it was set. If not, a default time is used.

What host controller suspend timeout are you referring to here?

If you are thinking of the runtime PM autosuspend timeout used in many host driver, then you might have missunderstand how runtime PM is used in host drivers.
This has nothing to do with BKOPS as such, unless you think that the card must be kept clocked during BKOPS operations, but then this needs to be stated somewhere in this patch and that is not the case.

Moreover, I could not find any new timeout added for the _host_ struct in this patch.

If BKOPS are required in level 1, which is non-blocking, there will be polling of the card status to wait for the BKOPS completion and prevent suspend that will interrupt the BKOPS.

Not sure of what suspend you are talking about here. But for sure BKOPS must _never_ prevent a system suspend.

You might want to prevent a host from being runtime suspended though, but that is not accomplished in this patch.

If the card raised an exception, the need for urgent BKOPS (level 2/3) will be checked immediately and if needed, the BKOPS will be performed without waiting for the next idle time.

---
This patch is based on the periodic BKOPS implementation in version 8 of "support BKOPS feature for eMMC" patch.
The patch was modified to answer the following issues:
- In order to prevent a race condition between going into suspend and starting BKOPS,
the suspend timeout of the host controller is taking into accound in
determination of the start time
of the delayed work
- Since mmc_start_bkops is called from two contexts now, mmc_claim_host was moved to the beginning of the function
- Also, the check of doing_bkops should be protected when determing if an HPI is needed due to the same reason.

Changes in v3:
- Move the call to stop_bkops to block.c.
This allows us to remove the mmc_claim_host from inside the
function and doesn't cause additional degradation
due to un-neccessary calim host operation

Changes in v2:
- Check the number of written / discarded sectors as the trigger for
checking the BKOPS need.
- Code review fixes

We didn't need to check whether mmc_stop_bkops is success or not? If mmc_stop_bkops() is failed, then bkops is continuously running.

Not true! Suspend will not be prevented by doing a mmc_send_status. Moreover, I would be interested to understand more about why you need to prevent "suspend". Please elaborate why you think this is needed.

This code seems a bit strange. You will check for mmc_card_mmc, but not all (e)MMC will support bkops. How about acually just checking if bkops is "on" or "off" somehow.

Additionally, so this piece of code shall stop an ongoing bkops before going to suspend, so that make sense. But would it not be more meaningfull to take care of that in mmc_suspend_host? I mean why do yo need to do it in the PM_SUSPEND_PREPARE notification sequence especially?

I guess you don't have "removable" eMMC with BKOPS support so this code will in practice only be executed once for an eMMC, so we are safe. But still I am not fond of putting this code for workqueue here. Either that should be done as a part of when the card is created/deleted or when then host is created/deleted.

Finally some overall thoughts. What I would like to understand is how we decide that the card has become "idle". I belive two values should be considered, but are they?
1. The card need BKOPS to be performed for some status level.
2. Request inactivity for a certain timeout has occured.

Have you considered to use runtime PM for the card device instead of the workqueue?

Kind regards

#37 lore raw

Re: [PATCH v3] mmc: core: Add support for idle time BKOPS

Hi Ulf,

Let me try to better explain:
The idea behind the periodic BKOPS is to check the card's need for BKOPS periodically in order to prevent an urgent BKOPS need by the card. In order to actually manage to prevent the urgent BKOPS need, the host should give the card enough time to perform the BKOPS (when it recognizes BKOPS need), otherwise there is no point in having the periodic BKOPS. The above results in the following:
1. After starting non-urgent BKOPS we "delay" getting into suspend by polling on the card's status (explanation below), in order to give the card time to perform the BKOPS. This has no effect on the power consumption since the same BKOPS operations that were performed after the foregound operation just moved to another location, meaning before going into suspend.
2. Using PM_SUSPEND_PREPARE instead of the workqueue would not be efficient since we don't want to wait until the host is ready to get into suspend and then prevent him from suspending by doing BKOPS operations that can take a long time. It is better to start the BKOPS earlier.

I am not too familiar with the controllers code and also my understanding in runtime suspend is very basic, so feel free to correct me if I'm wrong here or the behavior in other controllers is different from msm_sdcc. mmc_claim_host calls host->ops->enable. This API is implemented per controller but as far as I understand it, this API must prevent suspend, otherwise we might go into suspend while there is bus activity. By doing get_card_status we call mmc_claim_host and this call is the one that "delays" getting into suspend.
If this is not the case in other controllers than the BKOPS will not prevent the suspend and BKOPS will be interrupted.
As for the effect on the battery consumption, this is probably something specific to our controller, so sorry if I created a confusion.

Additional comments inline.

Thanks,
Maya

Hi Jaehoon,

With this patch we don't expect to see any degradation. Thanks for verifying that.
The test plan would be to run the lmdd and iozone benchmarks with this patch and verify that the performance is not degraded.
I verified it with the msm_sdcc controller.

Chris - We do expect it to influence the battery consumption, since we now
delay getting into suspend (since mmc_start_bkops which is called after the delayed work is executed claims the host).
The solution for that should be done by the controller which can shorten the timeout given to pm_schedule_suspend by the periodic BKOPS idle time.
Does it make sense to you?

Hi Maya,

Thank you a lot for working idle time BKOPS.

I tested with this patch. It's working fine.(Suspend/resume is also working well.)
Test controller is sdhci controller.
When i tested the performance with iozone, i didn't find that performance
is decreased.
Well, as Chris is mentioned, do you have any test plan?
So I will test more with this patch, because i want to test with dw-mmc controller, too.

Devices have various maintenance operations need to perform internally.
In order to reduce latencies during time critical operations like read and write, it is better to execute maintenance operations in other times - when the host is not being serviced. Such operations are called
Background operations (BKOPS).
The device notifies the status of the BKOPS need by updating BKOPS_STATUS
(EXT_CSD byte [246]).

According to the standard a host that supports BKOPS shall check the status periodically and start background operations as needed, so that the device has enough time for its maintenance operations.

This patch adds support for this periodic check of the BKOPS status. Since foreground operations are of higher priority than background operations the host will check the need for BKOPS when it is idle, and in case of an incoming request the BKOPS operation will be interrupted.

When the mmcqd thread is idle, a delayed work is created to check the need for BKOPS. The time to start the delayed work is calculated based on the host controller suspend timeout, in case it was set. If not, a default time is used.

What host controller suspend timeout are you referring to here?

If you are thinking of the runtime PM autosuspend timeout used in many host driver, then you might have missunderstand how runtime PM is used in host drivers.
This has nothing to do with BKOPS as such, unless you think that the card must be kept clocked during BKOPS operations, but then this needs to be stated somewhere in this patch and that is not the case.

Quoted 2 lines

Moreover, I could not find any new timeout added for the _host_ struct in this patch.

Yes, I was referring to the runtime PM autosuspend timeout. Since we want to give the BKOPS time to be performed before going into suspend, we need to take this timeout into account.

If BKOPS are required in level 1, which is non-blocking, there will be polling of the card status to wait for the BKOPS completion and prevent
suspend that will interrupt the BKOPS.

Not sure of what suspend you are talking about here. But for sure BKOPS must _never_ prevent a system suspend.

You might want to prevent a host from being runtime suspended though, but that is not accomplished in this patch.

This is explained in my general comment. Let me know if it is still not clear.

If the card raised an exception, the need for urgent BKOPS (level 2/3) will be checked immediately and if needed, the BKOPS will be performed without waiting for the next idle time.

---
This patch is based on the periodic BKOPS implementation in version 8 of
"support BKOPS feature for eMMC" patch.
The patch was modified to answer the following issues:
- In order to prevent a race condition between going into suspend and starting BKOPS,
the suspend timeout of the host controller is taking into accound in
determination of the start time
of the delayed work
- Since mmc_start_bkops is called from two contexts now, mmc_claim_host
was moved to the beginning of the function
- Also, the check of doing_bkops should be protected when determing if an HPI is needed due to the same reason.

Changes in v3:
- Move the call to stop_bkops to block.c.
This allows us to remove the mmc_claim_host from inside the
function and doesn't cause additional degradation
due to un-neccessary calim host operation

Changes in v2:
- Check the number of written / discarded sectors as the trigger
for
checking the BKOPS need.
- Code review fixes

We didn't need to check whether mmc_stop_bkops is success or not? If mmc_stop_bkops() is failed, then bkops is continuously running.

This code seems a bit strange. You will check for mmc_card_mmc, but not all (e)MMC will support bkops. How about acually just checking if bkops is "on" or "off" somehow.

Additionally, so this piece of code shall stop an ongoing bkops before going to suspend, so that make sense. But would it not be more meaningfull to take care of that in mmc_suspend_host? I mean why do yo need to do it in the PM_SUSPEND_PREPARE notification sequence especially?

This code was not added by me. I just added the mmc_claim_host(host)/mmc_release_host calls. Maybe Jaehoon, who added this code in the BKOPS patch can respond to your comment.

I guess you don't have "removable" eMMC with BKOPS support so this code will in practice only be executed once for an eMMC, so we are safe. But still I am not fond of putting this code for workqueue here. Either that should be done as a part of when the card is created/deleted or when then host is created/deleted.

I will check if there could be a better place for this.

Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/

Finally some overall thoughts. What I would like to understand is how we decide that the card has become "idle". I belive two values should be considered, but are they?
1. The card need BKOPS to be performed for some status level.
2. Request inactivity for a certain timeout has occured.

Have you considered to use runtime PM for the card device instead of the workqueue?

Kind regards

Re: [PATCH v3] mmc: core: Add support for idle time BKOPS

Hi Maya,

Hi Ulf,

Let me try to better explain:
The idea behind the periodic BKOPS is to check the card's need for BKOPS periodically in order to prevent an urgent BKOPS need by the card. In order to actually manage to prevent the urgent BKOPS need, the host should give the card enough time to perform the BKOPS (when it recognizes BKOPS need), otherwise there is no point in having the periodic BKOPS. The above results in the following:
1. After starting non-urgent BKOPS we "delay" getting into suspend by polling on the card's status (explanation below), in order to give the card time to perform the BKOPS. This has no effect on the power consumption since the same BKOPS operations that were performed after the foregound operation just moved to another location, meaning before going into suspend.

I am not sure what you are talking about here, runtime suspend or system suspend? Polling the card's status will not prevent any of this. So you have got this wrong.

Quoted 4 lines

2. Using PM_SUSPEND_PREPARE instead of the workqueue would not be efficient since we don't want to wait until the host is ready to get into suspend and then prevent him from suspending by doing BKOPS operations that can take a long time. It is better to start the BKOPS earlier.

I did not suggest to use PM_SUSPEND_PREPARE, but to use runtime PM for the card device. It can be an option to implement this feature on top of a workqueue. At least worth to consider.

Quoted 9 lines

I am not too familiar with the controllers code and also my understanding in runtime suspend is very basic, so feel free to correct me if I'm wrong here or the behavior in other controllers is different from msm_sdcc. mmc_claim_host calls host->ops->enable. This API is implemented per controller but as far as I understand it, this API must prevent suspend, otherwise we might go into suspend while there is bus activity. By doing get_card_status we call mmc_claim_host and this call is the one that "delays" getting into suspend.

host->ops->enable is the old way of implementing runtime power save for host drivers. Nowadays most drivers is using runtime PM instead.

When you say that mmc_claim_host will prevent suspend, I suppose you mean that host->ops->disable wont be called? That is definitely not the same as preventing a system suspend, and moreover it should not. If you think that the host must be prevented from entering runtime power save (runtime_supend or host->ops->disable), you must elaborate more on this, because I don't understand why this is needed.

Quoted 82 lines

If this is not the case in other controllers than the BKOPS will not prevent the suspend and BKOPS will be interrupted.
As for the effect on the battery consumption, this is probably something specific to our controller, so sorry if I created a confusion.

Additional comments inline.

Thanks,
Maya

Hi Jaehoon,

With this patch we don't expect to see any degradation. Thanks for verifying that.
The test plan would be to run the lmdd and iozone benchmarks with this patch and verify that the performance is not degraded.
I verified it with the msm_sdcc controller.

Chris - We do expect it to influence the battery consumption, since we now
delay getting into suspend (since mmc_start_bkops which is called after the delayed work is executed claims the host).
The solution for that should be done by the controller which can shorten the timeout given to pm_schedule_suspend by the periodic BKOPS idle time.
Does it make sense to you?

Hi Maya,

Thank you a lot for working idle time BKOPS.

I tested with this patch. It's working fine.(Suspend/resume is also working well.)
Test controller is sdhci controller.
When i tested the performance with iozone, i didn't find that performance
is decreased.
Well, as Chris is mentioned, do you have any test plan?
So I will test more with this patch, because i want to test with dw-mmc controller, too.

Devices have various maintenance operations need to perform internally.
In order to reduce latencies during time critical operations like read and write, it is better to execute maintenance operations in other times - when the host is not being serviced. Such operations are called
Background operations (BKOPS).
The device notifies the status of the BKOPS need by updating BKOPS_STATUS
(EXT_CSD byte [246]).

According to the standard a host that supports BKOPS shall check the status periodically and start background operations as needed, so that the device has enough time for its maintenance operations.

This patch adds support for this periodic check of the BKOPS status. Since foreground operations are of higher priority than background operations the host will check the need for BKOPS when it is idle, and in case of an incoming request the BKOPS operation will be interrupted.

When the mmcqd thread is idle, a delayed work is created to check the need for BKOPS. The time to start the delayed work is calculated based on the host controller suspend timeout, in case it was set. If not, a default time is used.

What host controller suspend timeout are you referring to here?

If you are thinking of the runtime PM autosuspend timeout used in many host driver, then you might have missunderstand how runtime PM is used in host drivers.
This has nothing to do with BKOPS as such, unless you think that the card must be kept clocked during BKOPS operations, but then this needs to be stated somewhere in this patch and that is not the case.

Moreover, I could not find any new timeout added for the _host_ struct in this patch.

Yes, I was referring to the runtime PM autosuspend timeout. Since we want to give the BKOPS time to be performed before going into suspend, we need to take this timeout into account.

Not sure why need to consider this timeout. Anyway, if so you must instead use the runtime PM API to prevent the host from being runtime suspended, like pm_runtime_get_sync.

If BKOPS are required in level 1, which is non-blocking, there will be polling of the card status to wait for the BKOPS completion and prevent
suspend that will interrupt the BKOPS.

Not sure of what suspend you are talking about here. But for sure BKOPS must _never_ prevent a system suspend.

You might want to prevent a host from being runtime suspended though, but that is not accomplished in this patch.

This is explained in my general comment. Let me know if it is still not clear.

If the card raised an exception, the need for urgent BKOPS (level 2/3) will be checked immediately and if needed, the BKOPS will be performed without waiting for the next idle time.

---
This patch is based on the periodic BKOPS implementation in version 8 of
"support BKOPS feature for eMMC" patch.
The patch was modified to answer the following issues:
- In order to prevent a race condition between going into suspend and starting BKOPS,
the suspend timeout of the host controller is taking into accound in
determination of the start time
of the delayed work
- Since mmc_start_bkops is called from two contexts now, mmc_claim_host
was moved to the beginning of the function
- Also, the check of doing_bkops should be protected when determing if an HPI is needed due to the same reason.

Changes in v3:
- Move the call to stop_bkops to block.c.
This allows us to remove the mmc_claim_host from inside the
function and doesn't cause additional degradation
due to un-neccessary calim host operation

Changes in v2:
- Check the number of written / discarded sectors as the trigger
for
checking the BKOPS need.
- Code review fixes

Not true! Suspend will not be prevented by doing a mmc_send_status. Moreover, I would be interested to understand more about why you need to prevent "suspend". Please elaborate why you think this is needed.

This is explained in my general comment. Let me know if it is still not clear.

This code seems a bit strange. You will check for mmc_card_mmc, but not all (e)MMC will support bkops. How about acually just checking if bkops is "on" or "off" somehow.

Quoted 5 lines

Additionally, so this piece of code shall stop an ongoing bkops before going to suspend, so that make sense. But would it not be more meaningfull to take care of that in mmc_suspend_host? I mean why do yo need to do it in the PM_SUSPEND_PREPARE notification sequence especially?

This code was not added by me. I just added the mmc_claim_host(host)/mmc_release_host calls. Maybe Jaehoon, who added this code in the BKOPS patch can respond to your comment.

I guess you don't have "removable" eMMC with BKOPS support so this code will in practice only be executed once for an eMMC, so we are safe. But still I am not fond of putting this code for workqueue here. Either that should be done as a part of when the card is created/deleted or when then host is created/deleted.

I will check if there could be a better place for this.

Finally some overall thoughts. What I would like to understand is how we decide that the card has become "idle". I belive two values should be considered, but are they?
1. The card need BKOPS to be performed for some status level.
2. Request inactivity for a certain timeout has occured.

Have you considered to use runtime PM for the card device instead of the workqueue?

Hi Ulf,

Let me try to better explain:
The idea behind the periodic BKOPS is to check the card's need for BKOPS periodically in order to prevent an urgent BKOPS need by the card. In order to actually manage to prevent the urgent BKOPS need, the host should give the card enough time to perform the BKOPS (when it recognizes
BKOPS need), otherwise there is no point in having the periodic BKOPS. The above results in the following:
1. After starting non-urgent BKOPS we "delay" getting into suspend by polling on the card's status (explanation below), in order to give the card time to perform the BKOPS. This has no effect on the power consumption since the same BKOPS operations that were performed after the
foregound operation just moved to another location, meaning before going into suspend.

Quoted 3 lines

I am not sure what you are talking about here, runtime suspend or system suspend? Polling the card's status will not prevent any of this. So you have got this wrong.

I am referring to the runtime suspend.
Our controller implements the runtime suspend and is not using the default implementation of core/bus.c.
This is the reason why in our implementation polling the card status "delays" the runtime suspend while it is not the case when using the default runtime suspend implementation.
I can try to explain here what our controller is doing but since it is specific to us then I guess it is not relevant to the discussion. Our controller is calling mmc_suspend_host in runtime suspend, which issues an HPI to stop the BKOPS.
Now that I understand that this code is not needed for all the host drivers I will add a flag to decide if polling is required when doing an unblocking BKOPS.
Other host drivers that actually suspend on runtime suspend can enable this flag and allow BKOPS to be active for a longer period.
I will prepare a new patch and send it for review.

2. Using PM_SUSPEND_PREPARE instead of the workqueue would not be efficient since we don't want to wait until the host is ready to get into
suspend and then prevent him from suspending by doing BKOPS operations that can take a long time. It is better to start the BKOPS earlier.

I did not suggest to use PM_SUSPEND_PREPARE, but to use runtime PM for the card device. It can be an option to implement this feature on top of a workqueue. At least worth to consider.

We consider to call mmc_start_bkops every time MMC becomes idle, to check the need for BKOPS. I will test it and include it in the next patch.

Quoted 15 lines
Quoted 11 lines

I am not too familiar with the controllers code and also my understanding
in runtime suspend is very basic, so feel free to correct me if I'm wrong
here or the behavior in other controllers is different from msm_sdcc. mmc_claim_host calls host->ops->enable. This API is implemented per controller but as far as I understand it, this API must prevent suspend, otherwise we might go into suspend while there is bus activity. By doing get_card_status we call mmc_claim_host and this call is the one that "delays" getting into suspend.

host->ops->enable is the old way of implementing runtime power save for host drivers. Nowadays most drivers is using runtime PM instead.

Quoted 7 lines

When you say that mmc_claim_host will prevent suspend, I suppose you mean that host->ops->disable wont be called? That is definitely not the same as preventing a system suspend, and moreover it should not. If you think that the host must be prevented from entering runtime power save (runtime_supend or host->ops->disable), you must elaborate more on this, because I don't understand why this is needed.

Again, this is specific to our controller, so you can just ignore that.

Quoted 704 lines
Quoted 90 lines

If this is not the case in other controllers than the BKOPS will not prevent the suspend and BKOPS will be interrupted.
As for the effect on the battery consumption, this is probably something specific to our controller, so sorry if I created a confusion.

Additional comments inline.

Thanks,
Maya

With this patch we don't expect to see any degradation. Thanks for verifying that.
The test plan would be to run the lmdd and iozone benchmarks with this patch and verify that the performance is not degraded.
I verified it with the msm_sdcc controller.

Chris - We do expect it to influence the battery consumption, since we now
delay getting into suspend (since mmc_start_bkops which is called after
the delayed work is executed claims the host).
The solution for that should be done by the controller which can shorten
the timeout given to pm_schedule_suspend by the periodic BKOPS idle time.
Does it make sense to you?

Hi Maya,

Thank you a lot for working idle time BKOPS.

I tested with this patch. It's working fine.(Suspend/resume is also working well.)
Test controller is sdhci controller.
When i tested the performance with iozone, i didn't find that performance
is decreased.
Well, as Chris is mentioned, do you have any test plan? So I will test more with this patch, because i want to test with dw-mmc
controller, too.

Devices have various maintenance operations need to perform internally.
In order to reduce latencies during time critical operations like read
and write, it is better to execute maintenance operations in other times - when the host is not being serviced. Such operations are called
Background operations (BKOPS).
The device notifies the status of the BKOPS need by updating BKOPS_STATUS
(EXT_CSD byte [246]).

According to the standard a host that supports BKOPS shall check the status periodically and start background operations as needed, so that
the device has enough time for its maintenance operations.

This patch adds support for this periodic check of the BKOPS status. Since foreground operations are of higher priority than background operations the host will check the need for BKOPS when it is idle, and in case of an incoming request the BKOPS operation will be interrupted.

When the mmcqd thread is idle, a delayed work is created to check the
need for BKOPS. The time to start the delayed work is calculated based
on the host controller suspend timeout, in case it was set. If not, a
default time is used.

What host controller suspend timeout are you referring to here?

If you are thinking of the runtime PM autosuspend timeout used in many host driver, then you might have missunderstand how runtime PM is used in host drivers.
This has nothing to do with BKOPS as such, unless you think that the card must be kept clocked during BKOPS operations, but then this needs to be stated somewhere in this patch and that is not the case.

Moreover, I could not find any new timeout added for the _host_ struct in this patch.

Yes, I was referring to the runtime PM autosuspend timeout. Since we want
to give the BKOPS time to be performed before going into suspend, we need
to take this timeout into account.

Not sure why need to consider this timeout. Anyway, if so you must instead use the runtime PM API to prevent the host from being runtime suspended, like pm_runtime_get_sync.

If BKOPS are required in level 1, which is non-blocking, there will be
polling of the card status to wait for the BKOPS completion and prevent
suspend that will interrupt the BKOPS.

Quoted 5 lines

Not sure of what suspend you are talking about here. But for sure BKOPS must _never_ prevent a system suspend.

You might want to prevent a host from being runtime suspended though, but that is not accomplished in this patch.

This is explained in my general comment. Let me know if it is still not clear.

If the card raised an exception, the need for urgent BKOPS (level 2/3)
will be checked immediately and if needed, the BKOPS will be performed
without waiting for the next idle time.

---
This patch is based on the periodic BKOPS implementation in version 8
of
"support BKOPS feature for eMMC" patch.
The patch was modified to answer the following issues:
- In order to prevent a race condition between going into suspend and
starting BKOPS,
the suspend timeout of the host controller is taking into accound
in
determination of the start time
of the delayed work
- Since mmc_start_bkops is called from two contexts now, mmc_claim_host
was moved to the beginning of the function
- Also, the check of doing_bkops should be protected when determing if
an HPI is needed due to the same reason.

Changes in v3:
- Move the call to stop_bkops to block.c.
This allows us to remove the mmc_claim_host from inside the
function and doesn't cause additional degradation
due to un-neccessary calim host operation

Changes in v2:
- Check the number of written / discarded sectors as the trigger
for
checking the BKOPS need.
- Code review fixes

We didn't need to check whether mmc_stop_bkops is success or not? If mmc_stop_bkops() is failed, then bkops is continuously running.

Not true! Suspend will not be prevented by doing a mmc_send_status. Moreover, I would be interested to understand more about why you need to prevent "suspend". Please elaborate why you think this is needed.

This code seems a bit strange. You will check for mmc_card_mmc, but not all (e)MMC will support bkops. How about acually just checking if bkops is "on" or "off" somehow.

Quoted 5 lines

Additionally, so this piece of code shall stop an ongoing bkops before going to suspend, so that make sense. But would it not be more meaningfull to take care of that in mmc_suspend_host? I mean why do yo need to do it in the PM_SUSPEND_PREPARE notification sequence especially?

This code was not added by me. I just added the mmc_claim_host(host)/mmc_release_host calls. Maybe Jaehoon, who added this
code in the BKOPS patch can respond to your comment.

I guess you don't have "removable" eMMC with BKOPS support so this code will in practice only be executed once for an eMMC, so we are safe. But still I am not fond of putting this code for workqueue here. Either that should be done as a part of when the card is created/deleted or when then host is created/deleted.

I will check if there could be a better place for this.

Finally some overall thoughts. What I would like to understand is how we decide that the card has become "idle". I belive two values should be considered, but are they?
1. The card need BKOPS to be performed for some status level.
2. Request inactivity for a certain timeout has occured.

Have you considered to use runtime PM for the card device instead of the workqueue?

Hi Ulf,

Let me try to better explain:
The idea behind the periodic BKOPS is to check the card's need for BKOPS periodically in order to prevent an urgent BKOPS need by the card. In order to actually manage to prevent the urgent BKOPS need, the host should give the card enough time to perform the BKOPS (when it recognizes
BKOPS need), otherwise there is no point in having the periodic BKOPS. The above results in the following:
1. After starting non-urgent BKOPS we "delay" getting into suspend by polling on the card's status (explanation below), in order to give the card time to perform the BKOPS. This has no effect on the power consumption since the same BKOPS operations that were performed after the
foregound operation just moved to another location, meaning before going into suspend.

Quoted 7 lines
Quoted 3 lines

I am not sure what you are talking about here, runtime suspend or system suspend? Polling the card's status will not prevent any of this. So you have got this wrong.

I am referring to the runtime suspend.
Our controller implements the runtime suspend and is not using the default implementation of core/bus.c.

This is not the "default runtime suspend" for a host device, but for the card device. Do not mix this up with runtime pm for a host device.

Right now runtime pm for the card _device_ is only enabled for SDIO. Thus SDIO drivers can use runtime pm to actually trigger an SDIO card to be fully suspended when it is not needed and thus save a lot of power. For example when a WLAN interface goes up/down.

Quoted 7 lines

This is the reason why in our implementation polling the card status "delays" the runtime suspend while it is not the case when using the default runtime suspend implementation.
I can try to explain here what our controller is doing but since it is specific to us then I guess it is not relevant to the discussion. Our controller is calling mmc_suspend_host in runtime suspend, which issues an HPI to stop the BKOPS.

So, doing mmc_suspend_host in you runtime_suspend callback, is that really what you want to do?

1.
You will introduce significant latencies (I have seen SD-cards which needs more than 1 s to initialize, eMMC is better but we are anyway talking several 100 ms) once new requests arrives after the host as entered the runtime suspend state.

2.
SD cards has no "power off" notification, so you will actually stress test the SD cards internal FTL to be crash safe by cutting the power to it more often.

3.
You will prevent SD-cards from doing it's back ground operations, which is done automatically and not like in a controlled manner as for eMMC.

So of course, you save some power, but is the consequences worth it? :-)

Quoted 3 lines

Now that I understand that this code is not needed for all the host drivers I will add a flag to decide if polling is required when doing an unblocking BKOPS.

You must not poll to prevent this!

Instead you need to prevent the host from going into runtime suspend state, which is simply done by pm_runtime_get_sync for the host device.
Although, it _must_ not be done for drivers not doing mmc_suspend_host in their runtime suspend callbacks. Since then it will prevent these from doing runtime power save actions, which is not ok.

Quoted 749 lines

Other host drivers that actually suspend on runtime suspend can enable this flag and allow BKOPS to be active for a longer period. I will prepare a new patch and send it for review.

Quoted 6 lines

2. Using PM_SUSPEND_PREPARE instead of the workqueue would not be efficient since we don't want to wait until the host is ready to get into
suspend and then prevent him from suspending by doing BKOPS operations that can take a long time. It is better to start the BKOPS earlier.

I did not suggest to use PM_SUSPEND_PREPARE, but to use runtime PM for the card device. It can be an option to implement this feature on top of a workqueue. At least worth to consider.

We consider to call mmc_start_bkops every time MMC becomes idle, to check the need for BKOPS. I will test it and include it in the next patch.

I am not too familiar with the controllers code and also my understanding
in runtime suspend is very basic, so feel free to correct me if I'm wrong
here or the behavior in other controllers is different from msm_sdcc. mmc_claim_host calls host->ops->enable. This API is implemented per controller but as far as I understand it, this API must prevent suspend, otherwise we might go into suspend while there is bus activity. By doing get_card_status we call mmc_claim_host and this call is the one that "delays" getting into suspend.

host->ops->enable is the old way of implementing runtime power save for host drivers. Nowadays most drivers is using runtime PM instead.

Quoted 7 lines

When you say that mmc_claim_host will prevent suspend, I suppose you mean that host->ops->disable wont be called? That is definitely not the same as preventing a system suspend, and moreover it should not. If you think that the host must be prevented from entering runtime power save (runtime_supend or host->ops->disable), you must elaborate more on this, because I don't understand why this is needed.

Again, this is specific to our controller, so you can just ignore that.

Quoted 697 lines
Quoted 90 lines

If this is not the case in other controllers than the BKOPS will not prevent the suspend and BKOPS will be interrupted.
As for the effect on the battery consumption, this is probably something specific to our controller, so sorry if I created a confusion.

Hi Jaehoon,

With this patch we don't expect to see any degradation. Thanks for verifying that.
The test plan would be to run the lmdd and iozone benchmarks with this patch and verify that the performance is not degraded.
I verified it with the msm_sdcc controller.

Chris - We do expect it to influence the battery consumption, since we now
delay getting into suspend (since mmc_start_bkops which is called after
the delayed work is executed claims the host).
The solution for that should be done by the controller which can shorten
the timeout given to pm_schedule_suspend by the periodic BKOPS idle time.
Does it make sense to you?

Hi Maya,

Thank you a lot for working idle time BKOPS.

I tested with this patch. It's working fine.(Suspend/resume is also working well.)
Test controller is sdhci controller.
When i tested the performance with iozone, i didn't find that performance
is decreased.
Well, as Chris is mentioned, do you have any test plan? So I will test more with this patch, because i want to test with dw-mmc
controller, too.

Devices have various maintenance operations need to perform internally.
In order to reduce latencies during time critical operations like read
and write, it is better to execute maintenance operations in other times - when the host is not being serviced. Such operations are called
Background operations (BKOPS).
The device notifies the status of the BKOPS need by updating BKOPS_STATUS
(EXT_CSD byte [246]).

According to the standard a host that supports BKOPS shall check the status periodically and start background operations as needed, so that
the device has enough time for its maintenance operations.

This patch adds support for this periodic check of the BKOPS status. Since foreground operations are of higher priority than background operations the host will check the need for BKOPS when it is idle, and in case of an incoming request the BKOPS operation will be interrupted.

When the mmcqd thread is idle, a delayed work is created to check the
need for BKOPS. The time to start the delayed work is calculated based
on the host controller suspend timeout, in case it was set. If not, a
default time is used.

What host controller suspend timeout are you referring to here?

If you are thinking of the runtime PM autosuspend timeout used in many host driver, then you might have missunderstand how runtime PM is used in host drivers.
This has nothing to do with BKOPS as such, unless you think that the card must be kept clocked during BKOPS operations, but then this needs to be stated somewhere in this patch and that is not the case.

Quoted 7 lines
Quoted 2 lines

Moreover, I could not find any new timeout added for the _host_ struct in this patch.

Yes, I was referring to the runtime PM autosuspend timeout. Since we want
to give the BKOPS time to be performed before going into suspend, we need
to take this timeout into account.

Not sure why need to consider this timeout. Anyway, if so you must instead use the runtime PM API to prevent the host from being runtime suspended, like pm_runtime_get_sync.

Not sure of what suspend you are talking about here. But for sure BKOPS must _never_ prevent a system suspend.

You might want to prevent a host from being runtime suspended though, but that is not accomplished in this patch.

This is explained in my general comment. Let me know if it is still not clear.

If the card raised an exception, the need for urgent BKOPS (level 2/3)
will be checked immediately and if needed, the BKOPS will be performed
without waiting for the next idle time.

---
This patch is based on the periodic BKOPS implementation in version 8
of
"support BKOPS feature for eMMC" patch.
The patch was modified to answer the following issues:
- In order to prevent a race condition between going into suspend and
starting BKOPS,
the suspend timeout of the host controller is taking into accound
in
determination of the start time
of the delayed work
- Since mmc_start_bkops is called from two contexts now, mmc_claim_host
was moved to the beginning of the function
- Also, the check of doing_bkops should be protected when determing if
an HPI is needed due to the same reason.

Changes in v3:
- Move the call to stop_bkops to block.c.
This allows us to remove the mmc_claim_host from inside the
function and doesn't cause additional degradation
due to un-neccessary calim host operation

Changes in v2:
- Check the number of written / discarded sectors as the trigger
for
checking the BKOPS need.
- Code review fixes

We didn't need to check whether mmc_stop_bkops is success or not? If mmc_stop_bkops() is failed, then bkops is continuously running.

This code seems a bit strange. You will check for mmc_card_mmc, but not all (e)MMC will support bkops. How about acually just checking if bkops is "on" or "off" somehow.

Additionally, so this piece of code shall stop an ongoing bkops before going to suspend, so that make sense. But would it not be more meaningfull to take care of that in mmc_suspend_host? I mean why do yo need to do it in the PM_SUSPEND_PREPARE notification sequence especially?

This code was not added by me. I just added the mmc_claim_host(host)/mmc_release_host calls. Maybe Jaehoon, who added this
code in the BKOPS patch can respond to your comment.

I guess you don't have "removable" eMMC with BKOPS support so this code will in practice only be executed once for an eMMC, so we are safe. But still I am not fond of putting this code for workqueue here. Either that should be done as a part of when the card is created/deleted or when then host is created/deleted.

I will check if there could be a better place for this.

Finally some overall thoughts. What I would like to understand is how we decide that the card has become "idle". I belive two values should be considered, but are they?
1. The card need BKOPS to be performed for some status level.
2. Request inactivity for a certain timeout has occured.

Have you considered to use runtime PM for the card device instead of the workqueue?

RE: [PATCH v3] mmc: core: Add support for idle time BKOPS

Hi Ulf,

Thanks for the info. We will consider our controller behavior in suspend. Would it be acceptable by you to keep the polling for BKOPS completion under a special CAPS2 flag?

Thanks,

Hi Ulf,

Let me try to better explain:
The idea behind the periodic BKOPS is to check the card's need for BKOPS periodically in order to prevent an urgent BKOPS need by the card. In order to actually manage to prevent the urgent BKOPS need, the host should give the card enough time to perform the BKOPS (when it recognizes BKOPS need), otherwise there is no point in having the periodic BKOPS.
The above results in the following:
1. After starting non-urgent BKOPS we "delay" getting into suspend by polling on the card's status (explanation below), in order to give the card time to perform the BKOPS. This has no effect on the power consumption since the same BKOPS operations that were performed after the foregound operation just moved to another location, meaning before going into suspend.

Quoted 7 lines
Quoted 3 lines

I am not sure what you are talking about here, runtime suspend or system suspend? Polling the card's status will not prevent any of this. So you have got this wrong.

I am referring to the runtime suspend.
Our controller implements the runtime suspend and is not using the default implementation of core/bus.c.

This is not the "default runtime suspend" for a host device, but for the card device. Do not mix this up with runtime pm for a host device.

Right now runtime pm for the card _device_ is only enabled for SDIO. Thus SDIO drivers can use runtime pm to actually trigger an SDIO card to be fully suspended when it is not needed and thus save a lot of power. For example when a WLAN interface goes up/down.

Quoted 7 lines

This is the reason why in our implementation polling the card status "delays" the runtime suspend while it is not the case when using the default runtime suspend implementation.
I can try to explain here what our controller is doing but since it is specific to us then I guess it is not relevant to the discussion. Our controller is calling mmc_suspend_host in runtime suspend, which issues an HPI to stop the BKOPS.

So, doing mmc_suspend_host in you runtime_suspend callback, is that really what you want to do?

1.
You will introduce significant latencies (I have seen SD-cards which needs more than 1 s to initialize, eMMC is better but we are anyway talking several 100 ms) once new requests arrives after the host as entered the runtime suspend state.

2.
SD cards has no "power off" notification, so you will actually stress test the SD cards internal FTL to be crash safe by cutting the power to it more often.

3.
You will prevent SD-cards from doing it's back ground operations, which is done automatically and not like in a controlled manner as for eMMC.

So of course, you save some power, but is the consequences worth it? :-)

Quoted 3 lines

Now that I understand that this code is not needed for all the host drivers I will add a flag to decide if polling is required when doing an unblocking BKOPS.

You must not poll to prevent this!

Instead you need to prevent the host from going into runtime suspend state, which is simply done by pm_runtime_get_sync for the host device. Although, it _must_ not be done for drivers not doing mmc_suspend_host in their runtime suspend callbacks. Since then it will prevent these from doing runtime power save actions, which is not ok.

Quoted 33 lines

Other host drivers that actually suspend on runtime suspend can enable this flag and allow BKOPS to be active for a longer period. I will prepare a new patch and send it for review.

Quoted 11 lines
Quoted 6 lines

2. Using PM_SUSPEND_PREPARE instead of the workqueue would not be efficient since we don't want to wait until the host is ready to get into suspend and then prevent him from suspending by doing BKOPS operations that can take a long time. It is better to start the BKOPS earlier.

I did not suggest to use PM_SUSPEND_PREPARE, but to use runtime PM for the card device. It can be an option to implement this feature on top of a workqueue. At least worth to consider.

We consider to call mmc_start_bkops every time MMC becomes idle, to check the need for BKOPS. I will test it and include it in the next patch.

I am not too familiar with the controllers code and also my understanding in runtime suspend is very basic, so feel free to correct me if I'm wrong here or the behavior in other controllers is different from msm_sdcc.
mmc_claim_host calls host->ops->enable. This API is implemented per controller but as far as I understand it, this API must prevent suspend, otherwise we might go into suspend while there is bus activity. By doing get_card_status we call mmc_claim_host and this call is the one that "delays" getting into suspend.

host->ops->enable is the old way of implementing runtime power save for host drivers. Nowadays most drivers is using runtime PM instead.

Quoted 87 lines
Quoted 7 lines

When you say that mmc_claim_host will prevent suspend, I suppose you mean that host->ops->disable wont be called? That is definitely not the same as preventing a system suspend, and moreover it should not. If you think that the host must be prevented from entering runtime power save (runtime_supend or host->ops->disable), you must elaborate more on this, because I don't understand why this is needed.

Again, this is specific to our controller, so you can just ignore that.

Quoted 78 lines
Quoted 78 lines

If this is not the case in other controllers than the BKOPS will not prevent the suspend and BKOPS will be interrupted.
As for the effect on the battery consumption, this is probably something specific to our controller, so sorry if I created a confusion.

Hi Jaehoon,

With this patch we don't expect to see any degradation. Thanks for verifying that.
The test plan would be to run the lmdd and iozone benchmarks with this patch and verify that the performance is not degraded. I verified it with the msm_sdcc controller.

Chris - We do expect it to influence the battery consumption, since we now delay getting into suspend (since mmc_start_bkops which is called after the delayed work is executed claims the host).
The solution for that should be done by the controller which can shorten the timeout given to pm_schedule_suspend by the periodic BKOPS idle time.
Does it make sense to you?

Hi Maya,

Thank you a lot for working idle time BKOPS.

I tested with this patch. It's working fine.(Suspend/resume is also working well.) Test controller is sdhci controller. When i tested the performance with iozone, i didn't find that performance is decreased.
Well, as Chris is mentioned, do you have any test plan? So I will test more with this patch, because i want to test with dw-mmc controller, too.

Devices have various maintenance operations need to perform internally.
In order to reduce latencies during time critical operations like read and write, it is better to execute maintenance operations in other times - when the host is not being serviced. Such operations are called Background operations (BKOPS). The device notifies the status of the BKOPS need by updating BKOPS_STATUS (EXT_CSD byte [246]).

According to the standard a host that supports BKOPS shall check the status periodically and start background operations as needed, so that the device has enough time for its maintenance operations.

This patch adds support for this periodic check of the BKOPS status. Since foreground operations are of higher priority than background operations the host will check the need for BKOPS when it is idle, and in case of an incoming request the BKOPS operation will be interrupted.

When the mmcqd thread is idle, a delayed work is created to check the need for BKOPS. The time to start the delayed work is calculated based on the host controller suspend timeout, in case it was set. If not, a default time is used.

What host controller suspend timeout are you referring to here?

If you are thinking of the runtime PM autosuspend timeout used in many host driver, then you might have missunderstand how runtime PM is used in host drivers.
This has nothing to do with BKOPS as such, unless you think that the card must be kept clocked during BKOPS operations, but then this needs to be stated somewhere in this patch and that is not the

case.

Moreover, I could not find any new timeout added for the _host_ struct in this patch.

Yes, I was referring to the runtime PM autosuspend timeout. Since we want to give the BKOPS time to be performed before going into suspend, we need to take this timeout into account.

Not sure why need to consider this timeout. Anyway, if so you must instead use the runtime PM API to prevent the host from being runtime suspended, like pm_runtime_get_sync.

If BKOPS are required in level 1, which is non-blocking, there will be polling of the card status to wait for the BKOPS completion and prevent suspend that will interrupt the BKOPS.

Not sure of what suspend you are talking about here. But for sure BKOPS must _never_ prevent a system suspend.

You might want to prevent a host from being runtime suspended though, but that is not accomplished in this patch.

This is explained in my general comment. Let me know if it is still not clear.

the suspend timeout of the host controller is taking into
accound in determination of the start time
of the delayed work
- Since mmc_start_bkops is called from two contexts now, mmc_claim_host was moved to the beginning of the function
- Also, the check of doing_bkops should be protected when determing if an HPI is needed due to the same reason.

Changes in v3:
- Move the call to stop_bkops to block.c.
This allows us to remove the mmc_claim_host from inside
the function and doesn't cause additional degradation
due to un-neccessary calim host operation

Changes in v2:
- Check the number of written / discarded sectors as the
trigger for checking the BKOPS need.
- Code review fixes

We didn't need to check whether mmc_stop_bkops is success or not? If mmc_stop_bkops() is failed, then bkops is continuously running.

Not true! Suspend will not be prevented by doing a mmc_send_status. Moreover, I would be interested to understand more about why you need to prevent "suspend". Please elaborate why you think this is needed.

This is explained in my general comment. Let me know if it is still not clear.

This code seems a bit strange. You will check for mmc_card_mmc, but not all (e)MMC will support bkops. How about acually just checking if bkops is "on" or "off" somehow.

Quoted 5 lines

Additionally, so this piece of code shall stop an ongoing bkops before going to suspend, so that make sense. But would it not be more meaningfull to take care of that in mmc_suspend_host? I mean why do yo need to do it in the PM_SUSPEND_PREPARE notification sequence especially?

This code was not added by me. I just added the mmc_claim_host(host)/mmc_release_host calls. Maybe Jaehoon, who added this
code in the BKOPS patch can respond to your comment.

I guess you don't have "removable" eMMC with BKOPS support so this code will in practice only be executed once for an eMMC, so we are safe. But still I am not fond of putting this code for workqueue here. Either that should be done as a part of when the card is created/deleted or when then host is created/deleted.

I will check if there could be a better place for this.

Finally some overall thoughts. What I would like to understand is how we decide that the card has become "idle". I belive two values should be considered, but are they?
1. The card need BKOPS to be performed for some status level.
2. Request inactivity for a certain timeout has occured.

Have you considered to use runtime PM for the card device instead of the workqueue?
