SubjectRE: [PATCH V2 0/2] mmc: block: Support Host to control FUA
Date
> 
> From: Wenchao Chen <wenchao.chen@unisoc.com>
>
> Summary
> =======
> These patches[1] supports the host to turn off FUA.
>
> About FUA, roughly deal with the following two parts:
> 1) FUA(Forced Unit Access):
> - The REQ_FUA flag can be OR ed into the r/w flags of a bio submitted from the
> filesystem and will make sure that I/O completion for this request is only
> signaled after the data has been committed to non-volatile storage.
>
> 2) In emmc, FUA is represented as Reliable write. code show as below:
> static void mmc_blk_data_prep(struct mmc_queue *mq, struct mmc_queue_req
> *mqrq,
> int recovery_mode, bool *do_rel_wr_p, bool *do_data_tag_p) {
> ...
> /*
> * Reliable writes are used to implement Forced Unit Access and
> * are supported only on MMCs.
> */
> do_rel_wr = (req->cmd_flags & REQ_FUA) &&
> rq_data_dir(req) == WRITE &&
> (md->flags & MMC_BLK_REL_WR);
> ...
> }

> Patch structure

> Tests
> =====
> Ran 'AndroBench' to evaluate the performance:
> 1. fua_disable = 1
> /sys/block/mmcblk0/queue # cat fua 0
> I tested 5 times for each case and output a average speed.

> According to the above data, disable FUA (fua_disable = 1) improves the
> performance:
> 1)Sequential read improved by 3%.
> 2)Random read were down 1%.
> 3)Sequential write improved by 34%.
> 4)Random write improved by 454%.
> Therefore, it is recommended to support the host to control FUA.
