PATCH 1/1 mmc: support BKOPS feature for eMMC

Background operation(BKOPS) is one of eMMC's features.

If set the URGENT_BKOPS in response, we can notify that card nedd the BKOPS. And all I/O request is done, then run background operation.
If request read/write operation during BKOPS, issue HPI interrupt.

If you want to use this feature, should be set MMC_CAP2_BKOPS.

Subject: [PATCH] mmc: support BKOPS feature for eMMC

Background operation(BKOPS) is one of eMMC's features.

If set the URGENT_BKOPS in response, we can notify that card nedd the BKOPS. And all I/O request is done, then run background operation.
If request read/write operation during BKOPS, issue HPI interrupt.

If you want to use this feature, should be set MMC_CAP2_BKOPS.

What will be happened if eMMC card only support BKOPS but not support HPI?

Basically v4.41 and v4.5 doesn't mentioned the BKOPS timeout so if there's no HPI command, it should wait until BKOPS is done. It seems to be shown system hang.

What do you refer to when you write BKOPS_EN_FORCE config? It doesn't seem like the OPs patch contains such a config.

Maybe put mmc_interrupt_bkops(card) here is better, I think.

And the reason being that one already knows at this point that there is a new request to be processed and so BKOPS may just as well be interrupted at this point as later inside mq->issue_fn()?

What will be happened if eMMC card only support BKOPS but not support HPI?

For eMMC 4.41 this is actually a valid, but possibly unlikely, scenario. For eMMC 4.5 both BKOPS and HPI are mandatory as I read the spec.

As far as I can understand is that card->ext_csd.hpi_cmd == 0 (as card->ext_csd.hpi == 0 due toe EXT_CSD_HPI_FEATURES being 0).

As far as I understand the card will is that case not responde, but only set it's ILLEGAL_COMMAND bit in the status register and mmc_send_hpi_cmd() will be stuck in mmc_wait_for_cmd().

Basically you are trying to say that BKOPS should only be enabled if HPI is also supported and enabled. Unfortunately it may be the case that someone has enabled BKOPS through the one-time programmable BKOPS_EN for an eMMC which does not support HPI. If the MMC framework discovers such a card I suggest bailing out early, because such a card is obviously misconfigured.

Just found this bit is one time programmable, so that is to say this bit is not suitable for driver to change.

Agreed, my suggestion was to read BKOPS_EN and if BKOPS then use that to determine if the framework should call mmc_start_bkops().

Maybe put mmc_interrupt_bkops(card) here is better, I think.

And the reason being that one already knows at this point that there is a new request to be processed and so BKOPS may just as well be interrupted at this point as later inside mq->issue_fn()?

Yes. To me, that is the reason. Since once schedule back here, means block driver will handle mmc request then. No matter what kind of request, that will need to use eMMC card. So I think here is an proper position to interrupt background operations.

What will be happened if eMMC card only support BKOPS but not support HPI?

For eMMC 4.41 this is actually a valid, but possibly unlikely, scenario. For eMMC 4.5 both BKOPS and HPI are mandatory as I read the spec.

As far as I can understand is that card->ext_csd.hpi_cmd == 0 (as card->ext_csd.hpi == 0 due toe EXT_CSD_HPI_FEATURES being 0). Inside mmc_send_hpi_cmd() this means that cmd.opcode not going to be either MMC_STOP_TRANSMISSION or MMC_SEND_STATUS but the command is still sent. As far as I understand the card will is that case not responde, but only set it's ILLEGAL_COMMAND bit in the status register and mmc_send_hpi_cmd() will be stuck in mmc_wait_for_cmd().

Yes, basically that is what I mean. Seems you know a lot of about me ;).
Maybe if the eMMC card only support BKOPS, then mmc_interrupt_bkops can send CMD13 to poll the card status instead of sending HPI command directly.
Just as we mentioned below, BKOPS_EN is one time programmable, thus this bit should be programmed by eMMC device vendor or some product provider. They can choose whether to enable this from a device performance point of view. If there device have a performance improvement even without a HPI support, then go forward. If not, just leave this bit along. So what driver does is only to do the right things. If he has HPI, using HPI to stop BKOPS. If not, he has to poll the card status.

Background operation(BKOPS) is one of eMMC's features.

If set the URGENT_BKOPS in response, we can notify that card nedd the BKOPS. And all I/O request is done, then run background operation.
If request read/write operation during BKOPS, issue HPI interrupt.

If you want to use this feature, should be set MMC_CAP2_BKOPS.

Enable eMMC background operations (BKOPS) feature.

If URGENT_BKOPS is set after a response, note that BKOPS are required. After all I/O requests are finished, run BKOPS if required. Should read/write operations be requested during BKOPS, first issue HPI to interrupt the ongoing BKOPS and then service the request.

If you want to enable this feature, set MMC_CAP2_BKOPS.

First of all, R1_URGENT_BKOPS is fine to check in cmd->resp[0], but it is only valid if cmd->resp contains an R1 or an R1b response. Granted, commands that do not have R1/R1b responses are few, but I still believe you need to check that with mmc_resp_type().

Moreover in the eMMC 4.41 spec it was ok to check bit 6 of the status (which is what you do above) as that bit corresponded to URGENT_BKOPS. However for eMMC 4.5 this bit has been combined with other kinds of of exceptional situations. The bit has been renamed EXCEPTION_EVENT and if it is set you then need to read (using CMD8) bytes 55:54 in EXT_CSD named EXCEPTION_EVENTS_STATUS where bit 0 indicates URGENT_BKOPS.

So I you need to check card->ext_csd.rev here to know what method you need to apply to determine if BKOPS are urgent or not.

The BKOPS_EN property in EXT_CSD is labelled R/W which means that it is one time programmable. Therefore it makes no sense to write this every time you are initializing an eMMC. What you could do is to read BKOPS_EN to determine if BKOPS should, according to the eMMC, be enabled in the MMC framework.

According to other discussions here it seems to me as if Chris and others are wary of having sysfs-files enable users to write to one-time programmable registers. So therefore I guess the only option is to use the generic MMC command passthrough in mmc_blk_ioctl() to do such things.

Hi Sebastian.

Background operation(BKOPS) is one of eMMC's features.

If set the URGENT_BKOPS in response, we can notify that card nedd the BKOPS. And all I/O request is done, then run background operation.
If request read/write operation during BKOPS, issue HPI interrupt.

If you want to use this feature, should be set MMC_CAP2_BKOPS.

Enable eMMC background operations (BKOPS) feature.

If URGENT_BKOPS is set after a response, note that BKOPS are required. After all I/O requests are finished, run BKOPS if required. Should read/write operations be requested during BKOPS, first issue HPI to interrupt the ongoing BKOPS and then service the request.

If you want to enable this feature, set MMC_CAP2_BKOPS.

First of all, R1_URGENT_BKOPS is fine to check in cmd->resp[0], but it is only valid if cmd->resp contains an R1 or an R1b response. Granted, commands that do not have R1/R1b responses are few, but I still believe you need to check that with mmc_resp_type().

Ok...i will add to check for mmc_resp_type().

Moreover in the eMMC 4.41 spec it was ok to check bit 6 of the status (which is what you do above) as that bit corresponded to URGENT_BKOPS. However for eMMC 4.5 this bit has been combined with other kinds of of exceptional situations. The bit has been renamed EXCEPTION_EVENT and if it is set you then need to read (using CMD8) bytes 55:54 in EXT_CSD named EXCEPTION_EVENTS_STATUS where bit 0 indicates URGENT_BKOPS.

Right..eMMC4.5 is modified them. So host need to check EXCEPTION_EVENTS_STATUS and whenever need to check, host should read the ext_csd register. right? I will modify also this point..(actually..this patch is based on eMMC4.41)

Quoted 133 lines

So I you need to check card->ext_csd.rev here to know what method you need to apply to determine if BKOPS are urgent or not.

The BKOPS_EN property in EXT_CSD is labelled R/W which means that it is one time programmable. Therefore it makes no sense to write this every time you are initializing an eMMC. What you could do is to read BKOPS_EN to determine if BKOPS should, according to the eMMC, be enabled in the MMC framework.

Then this code is unnecessary..because card supported bkops, EXT_CSD_BKOPS_EN is set by default. And if user want to use BKOPS,user can use IOCTL like you mentioned.

Quoted 30 lines

According to other discussions here it seems to me as if Chris and others are wary of having sysfs-files enable users to write to one-time programmable registers. So therefore I guess the only option is to use the generic MMC command passthrough in mmc_blk_ioctl() to do such things.

Why is this not needed? I can see why you wouldn't want to wait until the card is no longer busy (as it will stay busy until BKOPS are no longer needed), but the bits indicating errors must surely be interesting to check?

I think that didn't need to check because just write any value in EXT_CSD_BKOPS_START.

This patch only starts BKOPS if it's urgent or critical. I would be preferable to run bkops periodically and only when the card is idle to minimize the risk of reaching URGENT.

The specs says:
-----
Hosts shall still read the full status from the BKOPS_STATUS byte periodically and start background operations as needed.
-----

I'm thinking of checking BKOPS_STATUS when the card is idle and then run bkops even if level is only 1 (Operations outstanding – non critical). Would this make sense?

Hi!

This patch only starts BKOPS if it's urgent or critical.

Almost, it starts BKOPS when it is urgent, which per spec means level 2 or 3, i.e. when performance is impacted or when it is critical. Better use the specs terminology as far as possible to relieve everyone of confusion.

Well, you kind of need both. If the eMMC is kept busy to such an extent that the block device is never idling then you would definitely require this patch, right? Otherwise you may end up wasting the time between the last command sent and when the device has been deemed to be idle for long enough.

So basically the OP's patch fixes the case where, e.g. sustained (re-)writing, keeps the block device busy until and after it reaches the critical BKOPS level, while your proposal takes care of the other case where the block device is not accessed all the time.

Sure, if there is idle time to do it, then why not.
If there is no idle time and URGENT_BKOPS is asserted, then the framework can not wait until the next idle period, but should issue BKOPS as soon as possible after the current command is finished.

I guess this boils down to how you define idle..? Does it mean immediately after the current command has been fully serviced, or does it mean some arbitrary time after the last sent command has been fully serviced? My assumption is that you are refering to the latter, in which case certain access patterns may cause problems. So, how do _you_ define idle? :)

Yes, this is what I mean. If the URGENT_BKOPS is set meaning (status 2 or 3) there is no escape, current solution will do fine. Periodical check is a complement, not a replacement. Must BKOPS always be deferred until performance is impacted?

About starvation.
What happens if the BKOPS never have time to finish because new writes are coming in all the time. Is it possible to starve the BKOPS-operation?
Will it come to a point when BKOPS must run without interruption?

My first point was just to raise my concern and start a discussion about this. If this turns out to be a good idea I be happy to look more into the details.

One question is:
Is it worth running BKOPS if the BKOPS_STATUS is only 1? I could run some tests comparing write performance when status is 0,1,2.

I don't know what the best place would be for a BKOPS_STATUS check. What comes to my mind is to use the same credentials that are used for power save. I need to look more closely into this in order to propose a patch.
Suspend? if suspend is requested one might check BKOPS_STATUS and return -EBUSY if BKOPS needs to be started.

No, of course not. As you say doing BKOPS too late is not good, but also doing them too often is probably not wise either (will cause latency for interrupting BKOPS for too many requests in that case).

The 4.5 spec says that if the level is at critical then some operations may extend beyond their original timeouts due to undelayable maintenance operations. So I can not forsee that an eMMC might stop working because the level reached critical and the host did not start BKOPS periodically. So as far as I understand it you may HPI interrupt BKOPS at critical level in order to issue CMD25 (WRITE_MULTIPLE_BLOCK), but there is a good chance that this write will take a long time to complete.

The spec is likely intentionally arbitrary about what these levels mean in order to allow vendors to implement those differently.

Maybe, one could also choose to do this based on the level of course.

However now that I'm thinking about it, I don't think Jaehoon has taken care of the case where suspend happens while BKOPS are running in the background. I guess one has to issue HPI in that case to stop the BKOPS before going in to suspend, otherwise one risks cutting power to the card while BKOPS are running.

Sebastian,
Would you recommend to _not_ cut power while BKOPS? Is this documented anywhere? Or is it so that the BKOPS will resume when the card is powered up again?

Hi Sebastian.

I have some question..
Maybe i think that my-patch should be worked only level-2/3..right?
Because URGENT_BKOPS bit in the EXCEPTION_EVENTS_STATUS is set whenever is either 2 or 3. In this case, host control with R1-type response.

But in level-0/1 case, need to check BKOPS_STATUS periodically. How did you understand that "periodically" means?
If host need to get BKOPS_STATUS periodically, maybe send CMD8 periodically. How periodically?

Best Regards,
Jaehoon Chung

For 4.41 your patch is fine. For 4.5 I think it starts BKOPS too often.

For 4.5 devices the R1 response indicates that there is an exception event which may be have several different causes: PACKED_FAILURE, SYSPOOL_EXHAUSTED, DYNCAP_NEEDED or URGENT_BKOPS. But if the R1 response indicates an exception event it may be becuase of a cause which is not URGENT_BKOPS. So for 4.5 you must read EXCEPTION_EVENTS_STATUS to determine what the cause was.

Good question, I don't know yet. Problem this should be done when the system is otherwise idling, to not interfere with normal accesses (if you do I would expect you to get worse performance).

I think there is a need for a 'mmc_maintenance' timer of some sort, which should run while idle. When it expires, all pending maintenance operations can be executed.. (Sanitize, Cache flush, BKOPS and RealTime Clock). This aligns also with
the update frequency requirements for RTC.
This would reduce the need for running such plumbing operations on the hot path.
