[PATCH 2.6.18 RFC] mmc: Add support for mmc v4 wide-bus modes

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi Pierre, Jarkko,

Here's the next change to add support for switching into the wide-bus
modes. It obviously builds on top of the previous high-speed patch.

Wide-bus is a more confusing situation for two reasons that I've
mentioned in passing before, but which I now need to go into more
detail about:

1) Bus testing: The mmc v4 spec defines two new commands which are
used to test the width of the data bus at the lowest possible level -
by sending a fixed test pattern to the card and seeing what comes back.
This allows the code to know for sure that wide buses are supported
even if the host controller caps are lying through their teeth. This
seems incredibly paranoid (SD doesn't do this) but I wouldn't be
grumbling except that I cannot, for the life of me, get the damn test
to work. I keep getting a data CRC error back - for both the reads and
writes. I've included my implementation of the test algorithm that is
failing but I'm not calling it in this diff. On one card it just failed
with the error and on another card, it left the card in a completely
confused state after failing. To make matters worse, the specs I have
are ambiguous as to the resp type. In the command table, it says that
it's R1 but the sample code says NONE. I've stuck with R1 because when
I use NONE, the controller complains about unexpected data interrupts.

Jarkko, I've been using the MMCA appnote and it has the confusing
description of the algorithm, so it's highly likely that the official
spec also contains the same stuff, but it would be great if you could
compare them and let me know if there are differences.

Pragmatically, I think we can manage without the bus test - although I
suppose there are situations where a 4 or 8 bit controller are used
with the extra data lines unconnected (in fact - does the nokia 770 fall
into this category?), so it seems we really ought to run the test.

2) Power classes: The mmc v4 spec allows a card to indicate that it would
like to draw more current than normal when running in wide-bus modes. It
defines separate power classes for each combination of 26/52MHZ and 4/8bit.
We currently don't have the infrastructure to query whether a higher power
level is safe, and I suspect we don't even have that information for some
of the support controllers. eg: the SDHCI spec doesn't say anything about
current draw. By my reading of the spec, these higher power levels are
optional and allow the card to "optimize its performance" but the card will
still function at the default levels. I have one card that requests a higher
power level and one which does not and both seem to work fine. I've added
a comment noting this situation in my diff.

So, if we skip the bus test and ignore the power classes, things seem to work.
With this patch, I can get significantly higher transfer rates, although
the scaling is certainly not linear. My laptop has a TI SDHCI controller which
has an odd clock which maxes out at 24MHz and can't run at 20MHz, so regular
mmc is really slow. The following are all read tests.

1) mmc < v4. 1 bit transfers at 12MHz: 1.3MBps
2) mmc v4. 1 bit transfers at 24MHz: 2.3MBps
3) mmc v4. 4 bit transfers at 24MHz: 5.5MBps for one card and 5.8MBps for the other.
4) My SD cards range from 4.6MBps to 5.7MBps.

Theoretically, those numbers should be 1.5, 3 and 12 MBps respectively, so there's
some overhead in there growing faster than the theoretical transfer rate - but that's
a separate problem. :-)
