Hi Shawn,

Is the intention in this patch to stop using MANUAL_BKOPS for all eMMC5.1+ devices, and only use AUTO_BKOPS?
Please see several questions inline.


Yup, my intention is to use auto bkops for emmc 5.1+ if possible.

JEDEC eMMC v5.1 introduce an autonomously initiated method
for background operations.

Host that wants to enable the device to perform background
operations during device idle time, should signal the device
by setting AUTO_EN in BKOPS_EN field EXT_CSD[163] to 1b. When
this bit is set, the device may start or stop background operations
whenever it sees fit, without any notification to the host.

When AUTO_EN bit is set, the host should keep the device power
active. The host may set or clear this bit at any time based on
its power constraints or other considerations.

Currently the manual bkops is only be used under the async req
circumstances and it's a bit complicated to be controlled as the
perfect method is that we should do some idle monitor just as rpm
and send HPI each time if receiving rd/wr req. But it will impact
performance significantly, especially for random iops since the
weight of executing HPI against r/w small piece of LBAs is
nonnegligible.

So we now prefer to select the auto one unconditionally if supported
which makes it as simple as possible. It should really good enough
for devices to manage its internal policy for bkops rather than the
host, which makes us believe that we could achieve the best
performance for all the devices implementing auto bkops and the only
thing we should do is to disable it when cutting off the power.

As far as I understand, the AUTO_BKOPS is enabled during âmmc_init_card()â.
If its correct, why the âmmc_start_auto_bkops()â function is needed?


yes it's not used twice for curren code. will remove it.

If the decision is to use AUTO_BKOPS for all eMMC5.1+ devices, why you need to enable AUTO_BKOPS bit
on every R1_EXCEPTION_EVENT?
AUTO_BKOPS should be enabled only once...


right, I will remove this enable although it will finally turn back by
the checking of auo_bkops_en.

Shouldnât the BKOPS_STATUS be checked prior to disabling the BKOPS activity of the device?


Hrmm.. I read the whole section of spec for it, and I did find this
requirement for manul bkops but not for the auto one. So what should we
do if using the auto one?
