33Note on Erase Size and Preferred Erase Size:
34
35 "erase_size" is the minimum size, in bytes, of an erase
36 operation. For MMC, "erase_size" is the erase group size
37 reported by the card. Note that "erase_size" does not apply
38 to trim or secure trim operations where the minimum size is
39 always one 512 byte sector. For SD, "erase_size" is 512
40 if the card is block-addressed, 0 otherwise.
41
42 SD/MMC cards can erase an arbitrarily large area up to and
43 including the whole card. When erasing a large area it may
44 be desirable to do it in smaller chunks for three reasons:
45 1. A single erase command will make all other I/O on
46 the card wait. This is not a problem if the whole card
47 is being erased, but erasing one partition will make
48 I/O for another partition on the same card wait for the
49 duration of the erase - which could be a several
50 minutes.
51 2. To be able to inform the user of erase progress.
52 3. The erase timeout becomes too large to be very
53 useful. Because the erase timeout contains a margin
54 which is multiplied by the size of the erase area,
55 the value can end up being several minutes for large
56 areas.
57
58 "erase_size" is not the most efficient unit to erase
59 (especially for SD where it is just one sector),
60 hence "preferred_erase_size" provides a good chunk
61 size for erasing large areas.
62
63 For MMC, "preferred_erase_size" is the high-capacity
64 erase size if a card specifies one, otherwise it is
65 based on the capacity of the card.
66
67 For SD, "preferred_erase_size" is the allocation unit
68 size specified by the card.
69
70 "preferred_erase_size" is in bytes.

Loic Pallardy188cc042012-08-06 17:12:29 +020072Note on raw_rpmb_size_mult:
73 "raw_rpmb_size_mult" is a mutliple of 128kB block.
74 RPMB size in byte is calculated by using the following equation:
75 RPMB partition size = 128kB x raw_rpmb_size_mult
