Hello,
My SoC provides an Arasan SDIO/eMMC controller supported by the
drivers/mmc/host/sdhci-of-arasan.c driver.
At init, the driver prints a warning to the console:
[ 0.887301] sdhci: Secure Digital Host Controller Interface driver
[ 0.893537] sdhci: Copyright(c) Pierre Ossman

[ 0.967110] sdhci-arasan 21200.mmc: No vqmmc regulator found
Is "mmc0: Invalid maximum block size, assuming 512 bytes" something
serious which requires investigating, in your experience?
The corresponding DT is:
mmc0: mmc@21000 {
compatible = "arasan,sdhci-8.9a";
reg = <0x21000 0x200>;
clock-names = "clk_xin", "clk_ahb";
clocks = <&sdio_clk>, <&clkgen 1>;
interrupts = <60 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>;
};
Regards.

Haven't had time to test yet, but I wanted to ask experienced folks what to expect when raising the block size from 512 to 2048 bytes? I don't think it would speed up dd'ing the entire device? (Especially if we use a large block size in dd.) Would it perhaps speed up myriads of random accesses? Regards. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 9+ messages in thread

What you are looking at is maximum block size. SDIO uses bigger block sizes, so it is useful for that. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 9+ messages in thread

SDIO uses bigger block > sizes, so it is useful for that. You're right. I was looking at this block of code: /* * Maximum block size. This varies from controller to controller and * is specified in the capabilities register. */ if (host->quirks & SDHCI_QUIRK_FORCE_BLK_SZ_2048) { mmc->max_blk_size = 2; } else { mmc->max_blk_size = (caps[0] & SDHCI_MAX_BLOCK_MASK) >> SDHCI_MAX_BLOCK_SHIFT; if (mmc->max_blk_size >= 3) { pr_warn("%s: Invalid maximum block size, assuming 512 bytes\n", mmc_hostname(mmc)); mmc->max_blk_size = 0; } } mmc->max_blk_size = 512 << mmc->max_blk_size; As Shawn pointed out, this was updated by commit 0633f654241 Author: Anton Vorontsov Date: Tue Mar 17 00:14:03 2009 +0300 sdhci: Add quirk for forcing maximum block size to 2048 bytes FSL eSDHC controllers can support maximum block size up to 4096 bytes, the MBL (Maximum Block Length) field in the capabilities register extended by one bit, and is set to 0x3. But the SDHCI core doesn't support blocks of 4096 bytes, and thus forces blksz to the lowest value -- 512 bytes. With this patch we can pin up the blksz to the maximum supported block size, i.e. 2048 bytes. But I'm wondering if the 2048-byte limitation in SDHCI core is still present? I see some drivers apparently setting it to a higher value: host/atmel-mci.c: mmc->max_blk_size = 32768; host/dw_mmc.c: mmc->max_blk_size = 65536; host/wbsd.c: mmc->max_blk_size = 4087; Regards. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 9+ messages in thread
