[RFC PATCH 00/13] mmc: host: Add facility to support re-tuning

[Adrian Hunter]

Hi

Here are some patches to move re-tuning support out of
sdhci and into the core, and add support for HS400
re-tuning.

Currently sdhci does re-tuning transparently by
calling sdhci_execute_tuning() from its ->request()
function.

The problem with HS400 re-tuning is that it must be
done in HS200 mode. That means using switch commands
and making ios changes. That means it potentially
conflicts with other command sequences. The new
re-tuning support accomodates that, however it is
not strictly necessary because HS400 re-tuning
should only be needed after runtime suspend when
there would not be a conflict.

Nevertheless, this approach has more structure
and potentially more flexibility.

[PATCH 01/13] mmc: core: Simplify by adding mmc_execute_tuning()

[Adrian Hunter]

For each MMC, SD and SDIO there is code that
holds the clock, calls ops->execute_tuning, and
releases the clock. Simplify the code a bit by
providing a separate function to do that.

[PATCH 02/13] mmc: host: Add facility to support re-tuning

[Adrian Hunter]

Currently, there is core support for tuning during
initialization. There can also be a need to re-tune
periodically (e.g. sdhci) or to re-tune after the
host controller is powered off (e.g. after PM
runtime suspend / resume) or to re-tune in response
to CRC errors.

The main requirements for re-tuning are:
  - ability to enable /disable re-tuning
  - ability to flag that re-tuning is needed
  - ability to re-tune before any request
  - ability to hold off re-tuning if the card is busy
  - ability to hold off re-tuning if re-tuning is in
  progress
  - ability to run a re-tuning timer

To support those requirements 5 members are added to struct
mmc_host:

  unsigned int		can_retune:1;	/* re-tuning can be used */
  unsigned int		doing_retune:1;	/* re-tuning in progress */
  int			need_retune;	/* re-tuning is needed */
  int			hold_retune;	/* hold off re-tuning */
  struct timer_list	retune_timer;	/* for periodic re-tuning */

need_retune is an integer so it can be set without needing
synchronization. hold_retune is a integer to allow nesting.

Various simple functions are provided to set / clear those
variables.

Subsequent patches take those functions into use.

Hi Adrian,

Thanks for working on this and apologize for my late reply!

I suggest we skip the support for the re-tuning timer in this initial
step and thus remove the related functionality from this patchset. It
adds complexity, but more important it's not obvious that it actually
will help. I am more concerned that it randomly will cause a request
latency and thus decrease performance.

The re-tuning period can't be selected "perfectly", so in this initial
step let's instead just rely on re-tune from the request retry path.

If we do see a need for a doing re-tuning periodically, how about
using the runtime PM suspend path (of the mmc card device). In that
way, we should be able to minimize the impact on performance.

Kind regards

Thank you for looking at the patches.

I am not sure I know what you mean. sdhci already has a re-tuning timer, so
this is just moving it into core, where it won't be used by other drivers
unless they enable it.

I am not sure what you want to leave in sdhci.c and what you want in core,
if anything.

At a minimum I need sdhci to be able to switch from hs400 to hs200, re-tune,
and switch back.

I am kind of questioning the re-tuning timer in sdhci. What is it good for?

Can sdhci rely on that the mmc core performs a re-tune from the
request retry mechanism instead?

We need all the infrastructure code in the core. Much like what your
patchset does. Except that I would like you to remove the option of
having a timer and the corresponding complexity it adds.

As stated, I am only questioning the timer, nothing else.

It is part of the SD Host Controller Standard Specification. The timer
ensures that re-tuning is done before temperature changes could affect the
"sampling point". It is needed for re-tuning mode 1 for UHS-I modes like SDR104.

Not according to the standard.

If we are going to follow the standard then that doesn't seem to be an option.

Does the spec say what value the timer should have?

We don't have to implement everything that comes with the standard. We

I am not suggestion us to violating the spec. I am suggesting to

As I stated, let's try without the timer first.

If we find it's not enough to recover at the request retry path, since
it happens too often - lets deal with that then.

Okay?

It is read from the Capabilities register in the SD host controller, ie. 
in field "Timer Count for Re-Tuning" (see below).

Timer Count for Re-Tuning
This field indicates an initial value of the Re-Tuning Timer for

Thanks for sharing this information, but unfortunate I don't
understand much from it.

Is the host driver intended to read/poll this register to find a good value?

Isn't heat one of the most important factor that could effect the need
for a re-tune? Does then the controller internally dynamically update
this register (since it keep track of heat or similar)?

You can download the spec (and others) here [1]. sdhci currently 
implements retuning mode 1, which is decribed in the spec:

Re-Tuning Timer Control Example for Re-Tuning Mode 1
The initial value of re-tuning timer is provided by Timer Count for 
Re-Tuning field in this register. The timer starts counting by loading 
the initial value. When the timer expires, the Host Driver marks an 
expiration flag. On receiving a command request, the Host driver checks 
the expiration flag. If the expiration flag is set, then the Host Driver 
should perform the re-tuning procedure before issuing a command. If the 
expiration flag is not set, then the Host Driver issues a command 
without performing the re-tuning procedure. Every time the re-tuning 
procedure is performed, the timer loads the new initial value and the 
expiration flag is cleared.

So the host controller could indeed update this register for subsequent 
retuning.

Arend

Arend, thanks for the link and information. So, I decided to go for a
look in there.

>From the same section you quoted above:
------
(1) Re-Tuning Mode 1
The host controller does not have any internal logic to detect when
the re-tuning needs to be performed. In this case, the Host Driver
should maintain all re-tuning timings by using a Re-Tuning Timer. To
enable inserting the re-tuning procedure during data transfers, the
data length per read/write command shall be limited up to 4MB.
------

That means, we can't get _any_ help from the controller HW (in mode 1)
to find a good value for the timer. It simply says that it's
recommended to do a periodic re-tuning at some times, which is also
stated by the SD and eMMC specs.

Thus, to find a decent value for the timer, the mmc core would have to
collect statistics for how data is read/written to the card to
anticipate the heat. I don't think that's an effort that justifies its
need.

That leaves us with these options:
1) Use a timer with a random selected value.
2) Perform a re-tune at runtime PM suspend or resume (of the mmc card).
3) While catching request errors (like CRC), perform a re-tune in the
request retry path.

Now, since we don't have any statistics available for how often a
re-tuning actually would be needed, let's first try out option 3) to
see if that's enough.

Kind regards
Uffe

In fact the timer value *is* defined in the Capabilities Register (Offset
040h) bits 43-40 Timer Count for Re-Tuning

It has been supported since 2011, see:

The value from the register is also just randomly selected, only
difference is that it's the HW that has randomly set it.

Even if the above commit was merged, I don't think it was the correct
way of dealing with re-tuning.

First of all, re-tuning this is a mmc protocol specific thing should
be managed from the mmc core, like the approach you have taken in your
$subject patchset. Second I question whether the timer is useful at
all.

Presumably the value is chosen based on the maximum rate of temperature
change and the corresponding effect that has on the signal.

The SD Host Controller Specification does not document another way to do
mode 1 re-tuning. The timer is it. Otherwise re-tuning is never done.

In the patches I sent, the driver must call mmc_retune_needed() to set
host->need_retune = 1 otherwise mmc_retune() does nothing.

I would like to extend the model to include transparently re-tuning and
re-trying when there is a CRC error, but that is a separate issue, not
documented in the spec but recommended by others.

That perfect and in line from what I heard as recommendations from
memory vendors as well.

Now, can we stop arguing about the timer and try without it?

If we do see a need for a more frequent re-tuning to happen, due to
that we get lots of CRC errors to recover from, then I think we should
look into using runtime PM instead of the timer. And that's because I
want to minimize the impact on performance.

How would that work for SDIO? How do you know it is OK to retry SDIO operations?

The minimum timer value is 1 second. The maximum is 1024 seconds. The ASUS
T100TA had a timer value of 128 seconds. The timer is not a performance issue.

There is a performance question with runtime PM because that happens far
more frequently (typical auto-suspend delay is 50ms) and we re-tune after
that. In fact I generalized that a bit in patch 13.

	[PATCH 13/13] mmc: sdhci: Change to new way of doing re-tuning

	Make use of mmc core support for re-tuning instead
	of doing it all in the sdhci driver.

	This patch also changes to flag the need for re-tuning
	always after runtime suspend when tuning has been used
	at initialization. Previously it was only done if
	the re-tuning timer was in use.

One option to reduce the impact of the latency would be to increase the
auto-suspend delay.

I have cc'ed the author of "mmc: sdhci: add support for retuning mode 1"

Retries or error handling, needs to be handled from SDIO func drivers
or upper level code. They certainly also need it for other errors,
which are not caused by the lack of a re-tune. I believe they exist
already.

For mmc core point of view, we need to act on SDIO data transfers
errors and perform re-tuning for cases when it makes sense.

More importantly, using a timer won't make SDIO data transfers error
free, since we can still end up needing a re-tune at any point.

Still, you do have point for SDIO. Minimizing the number of errors for
SDIO could be important, due to that an SDIO func driver may not be
able to recover from data errors as smoothly as the mmc block layer
can. Thus, a timer could help to improve the situation, but I think it
only makes sense in the SDIO case.

BTW, what's your experience around SDIO cards supporting SDR104. I
have never used such, have you?

The latency will affect the first request after a runtime PM
suspend/resume cycle. So for continues data transfers the impact
should be zero. Also, increasing the delay would impact power
consumption, but it's a balance I guess. :-)

This is a specific issue for SDHCI (it's not clear to me if all SDHCI
variants have the same behaviour). Obviously the mmc core needs to
support the demand from SDHCI, such enable it to tell the core to
perform a re-tune. Exactly what your patchset does.

For your reference, I know about other controllers which can restore a
bunch of register values, saved from earlier re-tunings, from its
runtime PM resume callbacks. Thus preventing a re-tuning from happen.
I wonder if some of the SDHCI variant are capable of this as well.

My primary focus in all this discussing is about SDIO cards. The main 
reason being that our 11ac wifi SDIO cards do support SDR104. So the 
brcmfmac driver support SDIO and has retry mechanisms in place. However, 
it may also end-up doing an abort under certain conditions.

You also mentioned using runtime-pm, but how do you deal with func 
drivers not supporting runtime-pm. That is already an issue aka. bug 
right now. Our driver does not support runtime-pm (yet) and we have 
reported issues that host controller does runtime-pm basically killing 
communication between device and func driver.

Could leave it to the function driver to call mmc_retune_needed().

Runtime PM is implemented a bit differently between SDIO vs MMC/SD.
Your are right.

For MMC/SD the mmc block device handles pm_runtime_get|put() in
principle per request basis and makes use of the
pm_runtime_autosuspend feature. While in the SDIO case, it's entirely
up the SDIO func driver to deal with pm_runtime_get|put().

So it seems like we can use runtime PM for MMC/SD but not for SDIO. At
least not using the SDIO func device.

Hmm, the positive side from such approach would be that the SDIO func
driver can decide when it's convenient to do a re-tune.

The negative side is that all SDIO func driver would need to care
about this. I am not sure we want that.

I would say "appropriate" instead of "convenient".

The whole retry handling also seems deferred to the SDIO func driver and 
the same for runtime-pm. As the "retune needed" question would pops up 
during the retry handling it seems not a bad option.

A re-tune is needed when there is a CRC error. That should be a low level
decision because it is needed no matter if it is a SDIO function driver or
eMMC block driver. There is a mechanism to hold-off re-tuning if it would
cause a problem. Otherwise re-tuning should be done immediately. Remember we
are already in an error condition, which must be rare to non-existent for
the device to perform reasonably.

The decision of the upper layers is when to retry.

My thought for the block driver was that it would indicate that it was ok to
transparently re-try if re-tuning was needed. Then the core would do the
re-try. A complication is the need to retry just once not get stuck
error->retry->error->retry->...

I think you can not say it like that. The value from the register is set 
by the manufacturer of the host controller. I would not say they would 
set that randomly. It is just hard-coded in their IP design. Now whether 
the value comes from actual hardware validation is hard to say.

It seems a reasonable choice to follow the specification.

Not sure I understand what the alternative approach is here. You 
mentioned earlier something about "the request retry path". Does that 
mean you proposal is to only do a re-tuning procedure when a request 
fails. That does not seem like "the correct way of dealing with 
re-tuning" either as it introduces additional delay of the failed 
request. I would rather see some algorithm to adapt the timer value and 
thus keep a re-tuning timer. If you are concerned about doing 
unnecessary re-tuning cycles retuning could be limited to ADTC request 
as from what I understand about retuning is that it is only needed for 
requests that involve using the DAT lines.

How can they pre-validate use-cases? They don't have any clue of how
the card is going to be exercised on a real SOC. It can't be more than
just a guess.

Correct. It actually already implemented as part of $subject patchset.

It will introduce a delay/latency, but only when it's actually needed
to do a re-tune.

With the timer, it will add a latency at a random point in time,
depending on the selected value for it.
More importantly, user the timer means we will potentially insert
latencies, when in fact the re-tune wasn't needed.

Kind regards
Uffe

It is good for complying with the SD Host controller spec. In section 
"2.2.25 Capabilities Register (pg. 74) the different "Re-Tuning Modes" 
are described. Guess these different should be taken into account in 
this patch series although in sdhci only the retuning timer was supported.

Arend

[PATCH 03/13] mmc: core: Disable re-tuning when card is no longer initialized

[Adrian Hunter]

Re-tuning is done before a request is sent to the card.
Host controller drivers can choose to enable re-tuning
when tuning is done during card initialization. To
ensure that re-tuning gets disabled, add disabling to
mmc_set_initial_state() which is called whenever the
card is powered on, off, or reset.

[PATCH 05/13] mmc: core: Add support for re-tuning before each request

[Adrian Hunter]

At the start of each request, re-tune if needed and
then hold off re-tuning again until the request is done.

Note that though there is one function that starts
requests (mmc_start_request) there are two that wait for
the request to be done (mmc_wait_for_req_done and
mmc_wait_for_data_req_done).  Also note that
mmc_wait_for_data_req_done can return even when the
request is not done (which allows the block driver
to prepare a newly arrived request while still
waiting for the previous request).

This patch ensures re-tuning is held for the duration
of a request.  Subsequent patches will also hold
re-tuning at other times when it might cause a
conflict.

[PATCH 06/13] mmc: core: Check re-tuning before retrying

[Adrian Hunter]

Possibly a command is failing because re-tuning is needed.
Use mmc_retune_retry() to check re-tuning. At that point
re-tuning is held, at least by the request, so
mmc_retune_retry() does a mmc_retune_release() and
mmc_retune_hold().

Currently "mmc sleep" is only used before power off and
is not paired with waking up.  If that ever changed,
re-tuning might need to be held, so add a comment for that.

[PATCH 12/13] mmc: sdhci: Always init buf_ready_int

[Adrian Hunter]

There is no point making the initialization
of buf_ready_int conditional on host version.
Simplify by just doing it always. Note that
the other conditional initializations will be
removed when the new way of doing re-tuning
is taken into use.

[PATCH 13/13] mmc: sdhci: Change to new way of doing re-tuning

[Adrian Hunter]

Make use of mmc core support for re-tuning instead
of doing it all in the sdhci driver.

This patch also changes to flag the need for re-tuning
always after runtime suspend when tuning has been used
at initialization. Previously it was only done if
the re-tuning timer was in use.
