We should probably tag this (or something along this change) for stable. However, I would like to get some input from Adrian about this as well, so I have looped him in.

Hi Adrian, > mmc_retune_disable() is not meant for temporarily preventing re-tuning. > It is meant for exiting a transfer mode that requires re-tuning.

I will check it and report back. Thanks for the input! Happy hacking, Wolfram

It might be that something goes wrong during tuning so the MMC core will immediately trigger a retune. In our case it was: - we sent a tuning block - there was an error so we need to send an abort cmd to the eMMC - the abort cmd had a CRC error - retune was set by the MMC core This lead to a vicious circle causing a performance regression of 75%. So, disable retuning while we tune. Let the tuning complete and see then if it worked out or not. Reported-by Yoshihiro Shimoda <yoshihiro.shimoda.uh@renesas.com> Signed-off-by: Wolfram Sang <wsa+renesas@sang-engineering.com> --- Hi Ulf, this patch is marked as RFC because I think this is a generic issue. Lots of things could happen in the driver callback which cause a retune, so I'd think it makes sense to deactivate it globally here. If you think this is a driver specific issue, just let me know. I can provide a small patch to create the issue for SDHI hardware, created by Shimoda-san. We couldn't think of an easy way to reproduce it with the fault injector, sadly.
