PATCH v2 1/1 mmc: block: Add new ioctl to send multi commands

From: Seshagiri Holi <[email protected]>

Certain eMMC devices allow vendor specific device information to be read via a sequence of vendor commands. These vendor commands must be issued in sequence and an atomic fashion. One way to support this would be to add an ioctl function for sending a sequence of commands to the device atomically as proposed here. These multi commands are simple array of the existing mmc_ioc_cmd structure.

The structure passed via the ioctl uses a __u64 pointer type to pass a pointer to the command list. The __u64 pointer type is used to ensure the pointer size is the same regardless of the address size used by user-space. The number of commands that can be passed is limited to 256 by the 8-bit type of the num_of_cmds member (which should be more than sufficient).

Cc Grant Grundler <[email protected]>
Cc Olof Johansson <[email protected]>

[ [email protected]: Rebased on linux-next from v3.18. Changed
userspace pointer type for multi command to be a u64. Renamed from combo commands to multi commands. Updated patch based upon feedback review comments received. Updated commit message ]

V2 changes:
- Updated changelog per Arnd's feedback
- Moved mmc_put/get_card() outside of __mmc_blk_ioctl_cmd()

I don't think the comment in '[]' needs to be in the commit message. Ok to move it to where the V2 changes are listed?

Yeah, the double call in the ioc_multi_cmd case was irritating me too.

Is this the final structure or we going to adopt Arnd's suggestion for:

struct mmc_ioc_multi_cmd {
     __u64 num_of_cmds;
     struct mmc_ioc_cmd cmds[0];
}

After having slept on it, I like this better (feels "cleaner").

And "fgrep -R '[0];' /usr/include/linux" tells me this non-standard gcc feature is already widely "visible" to user space compilers.

cheers,
