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.

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.

As far as I understand, the AUTO_BKOPS is enabled during “mmc_init_card()”.
If its correct, why the “mmc_start_auto_bkops()” function is needed?

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...

Shouldn’t the BKOPS_STATUS be checked prior to disabling the BKOPS activity of the device?

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

right, I will remove this enable although it will finally turn back by

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?

Do you know if there is really a requirement to do that? Because then, what
is the point of power off notification? And why is AUTO_EN persistent across
power failure?

Even without bkops enable, no matter for manual or auto one, FTL should
always do bkops like GC internally when needed to guarantee the
performance and balance the wear leveling. What I thought to do is to
make it more explicitly.

Because then, what
> is the point of power off notification?

When power off notification is sent, bkops will be stopped
in _mmc_suspend. So I don't undertand your point here?

And why is AUTO_EN persistent across
> power failure?

Ahh, that's a problem need to be fixed, thanks for reminding.

I am trying to understand why we need to do anything for auto bkops.
Since AUTO_EN is persistent, we can leave the decision whether to turn it on
to whomever provisions the device. Then we just leave it alone.

Hrm..

one possible way is to control it by mmc-utils on
user space?  So we should add a cmd for mmc-utils
there?

That would be consistent with manual bkops.

In case of AUTO BKOPS, the eMMC Device should perform internal GC 
in the same way as in case of MANUAL BKOPS.
The only difference is a host awareness. 
Although there is no requirement in the spec, I think the driver can
give some time to the device to perform/complete its internal GC during the idle time.
Thus I think we can check the BKOPS_STATUS on Runtime suspend.

[…]

Thanks,
Alex

I'm not sure we can check BKOPS_STATUS when use the AUTO_BKOPS.
I have also read the SPEC, but it's not clearly for checking the BKOPS_STATUS.
Just i understood that it should be operated without a host's awareness.

agree.

We shouldn't diable bkops on *runtime* suspend as it's just the right
time for firmware to do GC. We could consider to check and wait for
the status when doing poweroff, although it seems firmware should be
able to accept the disable cmd and deal the on-going work perfectly
when doing bkops without host's awareness, just the same way as suddent
power loss cases.

Also I don't know whether the firmware will reflect its status on
BKOPS_STATUS or not when enabling the auto one. I will do more test.

Anyway, thanks for sharing your thought.
Also Adrian point out that currently we trigger manual bkosp from
userspace via mmc-utils, and I agreed we shouldn't force kernel stack
to enable it defaultly. So I'm prone not to update this $SUBJECT and
migrate it to mmc-utils later.

From my first impression I agree, as that is the policy we have been
sticking to when writing to persistent EXT_CSD registers.
Although, in this case, I am actually wondering on what is the best approach.

Is there really ever a case when we don't want auto BKOPS to be default enabled?
I think BKOPS is a fundamental feature of an FTL and I can't see a
reason to why we need to involve mmc-utils/userspace to enable it. Am
I wrong?

Kind regards

The even worst case is – involve mmc-utils/userspace to DISABLE it.
I think this register need to be set by vendor and no need to be changed on runtime.

If it is set by the Vendor, that's of course the best.

Are you saying that we shouldn't enable it during the card init
sequence from the kernel, in case it is disabled?

It can be set by Storage Vendor.
According to the spec, the default value of this bit is vendor specific.

No.
By the spec – a 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 byte 163] to 1b.

ye, so it seems a pre-exiting issue before introducing auto bkops?
I think we can push another patch to improve it but not handling
it for this $SUBJECT, does it sound ok to you?

I don't know what is the real meaning of "persistent". :)
I don't know should we count auto bkops as the persistent
registers....HS_TIMING and BUS_WIDTH should also be persistent
registers as them are always used after initialization if not changing
them?

IHMO the more reasonable way is that:
IIRC many settings for  EXT_CSD should be OTP, like hw-reset(162),
reliable write(167) fw-configure(169)..etc, which are marked as R/W.
These should be controlled by userpace or even by firmware when
flashing emmc, like reliable write...


I'm not sure whether should I updete this $SUBJUCT or migirating it to
userspace... We need to come to an agreement :)

Runtime suspend for eMMC has a default auto-suspend delay of 3 seconds
(refer mmc_blk_probe()).  Isn't that when auto bkops would happen?

Yes, that's makes sense to me. OTP registers must only be written to
via mmc utils/userspace.

I don't have any issue to allow all non-OTP registers bits to be written.

That's correct.

So perhaps we should extend the default auto-suspend delay?

The SD case actually have the same issue, as I some background
operations exists there as well.
