mmc: Add support to handle Urgent data transfer request
Urgent request notification stops currently running transaction
on bus.
In order to decrease a latency of a prioritized requests (aka Urgent
request), we might want to stop the transmission of a running "low
priority" request in order to handle the Urgent request. The urgency of
the request is decided by the block layer I/O scheduler. When the block
layer notifies the MMC layer of an urgent request and if the MMC layer is
blocked on current request to complete, it will be woken up.
The decision on whether to stop an ongoing transfer is taken according to
several parameters, one of them being the number of bytes already
transferred for ongoing transfer by host controller so far.
To calculate how many bytes were successfully programmed before stop,
CORRECTLY_PRG_SECTORS_NUM[245:242] parsed from EXT_CSD register. The
remainder of stopped request (and next prepared request in case it
exists) re-inserted back to the I/O scheduler to be handled after the
completion of the urgent request.
In case it is decided not to stop the ongoing transfer, MMC context will
wait for normal completion of the ongoing transfer, then already prepared
next request (if it exists) will be re-inserted back into block layer and
the urgent request fetched.
URGENT_REQUEST handling has following dependencies:
1. Host controller driver should support mmc_host op named "stop_request"
2. Block I/O scheduler should support re-insert API
3. eMMC card should support HPI (High Priority Interrupt) command
If any of the above dependencies are not met then urgent request mechanism
will not become operational.
