| SD and MMC Block Device Attributes |
| ================================== |
| |
| These attributes are defined for the block devices associated with the |
| SD or MMC device. |
| |
| The following attributes are read/write. |
| |
| force_ro Enforce read-only access even if write protect switch is off. |
| |
| num_wr_reqs_to_start_packing This attribute is used to determine |
| the trigger for activating the write packing, in case the write |
| packing control feature is enabled. |
| |
| When the MMC manages to reach a point where num_wr_reqs_to_start_packing |
| write requests could be packed, it enables the write packing feature. |
| This allows us to start the write packing only when it is beneficial |
| and has minimum affect on the read latency. |
| |
| The number of potential packed requests that will trigger the packing |
| can be configured via sysfs by writing the required value to: |
| /sys/block/<block_dev_name>/num_wr_reqs_to_start_packing. |
| |
| The default value of num_wr_reqs_to_start_packing was determined by |
| running parallel lmdd write and lmdd read operations and calculating |
| the max number of packed writes requests. |
| |
| min_sectors_to_check_bkops_status This attribute is used to |
| determine whether the status bit that indicates the need for BKOPS |
| should be checked. The value is stored in this attribute represents |
| the minimum number of sectors that needs to be changed in the device |
| (written or discarded) in order to require the status-bit of BKOPS |
| to be checked. The value can modified via sysfs by writing the |
| required value to: |
| /sys/block/<block_dev_name>/min_sectors_to_check_bkops_status |
| |
| SD and MMC Device Attributes |
| ============================ |
| |
| All attributes are read-only. |
| |
| cid Card Identification Register |
| csd Card Specific Data Register |
| scr SD Card Configuration Register (SD only) |
| date Manufacturing Date (from CID Register) |
| fwrev Firmware/Product Revision (from CID Register) (SD and MMCv1 only) |
| hwrev Hardware/Product Revision (from CID Register) (SD and MMCv1 only) |
| manfid Manufacturer ID (from CID Register) |
| name Product Name (from CID Register) |
| oemid OEM/Application ID (from CID Register) |
| serial Product Serial Number (from CID Register) |
| erase_size Erase group size |
| preferred_erase_size Preferred erase size |
| raw_rpmb_size_mult RPMB partition size |
| rel_sectors Reliable write sector count |
| |
| Note on Erase Size and Preferred Erase Size: |
| |
| "erase_size" is the minimum size, in bytes, of an erase |
| operation. For MMC, "erase_size" is the erase group size |
| reported by the card. Note that "erase_size" does not apply |
| to trim or secure trim operations where the minimum size is |
| always one 512 byte sector. For SD, "erase_size" is 512 |
| if the card is block-addressed, 0 otherwise. |
| |
| SD/MMC cards can erase an arbitrarily large area up to and |
| including the whole card. When erasing a large area it may |
| be desirable to do it in smaller chunks for three reasons: |
| 1. A single erase command will make all other I/O on |
| the card wait. This is not a problem if the whole card |
| is being erased, but erasing one partition will make |
| I/O for another partition on the same card wait for the |
| duration of the erase - which could be a several |
| minutes. |
| 2. To be able to inform the user of erase progress. |
| 3. The erase timeout becomes too large to be very |
| useful. Because the erase timeout contains a margin |
| which is multiplied by the size of the erase area, |
| the value can end up being several minutes for large |
| areas. |
| |
| "erase_size" is not the most efficient unit to erase |
| (especially for SD where it is just one sector), |
| hence "preferred_erase_size" provides a good chunk |
| size for erasing large areas. |
| |
| For MMC, "preferred_erase_size" is the high-capacity |
| erase size if a card specifies one, otherwise it is |
| based on the capacity of the card. |
| |
| For SD, "preferred_erase_size" is the allocation unit |
| size specified by the card. |
| |
| "preferred_erase_size" is in bytes. |
| |
| Note on raw_rpmb_size_mult: |
| "raw_rpmb_size_mult" is a mutliple of 128kB block. |
| RPMB size in byte is calculated by using the following equation: |
| RPMB partition size = 128kB x raw_rpmb_size_mult |
| |
| SD/MMC/SDIO Clock Gating Attribute |
| ================================== |
| |
| Read and write access is provided to following attribute. |
| This attribute appears only if CONFIG_MMC_CLKGATE is enabled. |
| |
| clkgate_delay Tune the clock gating delay with desired value in milliseconds. |
| |
| echo <desired delay> > /sys/class/mmc_host/mmcX/clkgate_delay |
| |
| SD/MMC/SDIO Clock Scaling Attributes |
| ==================================== |
| |
| Read and write accesses are provided to following attributes. |
| |
| polling_interval Measured in milliseconds, this attribute |
| defines how often we need to check the card |
| usage and make decisions on frequency scaling. |
| |
| up_threshold This attribute defines what should be the |
| average card usage between the polling |
| interval for the mmc core to make a decision |
| on whether it should increase the frequency. |
| For example when it is set to '35' it means |
| that between the checking intervals the card |
| needs to be on average more than 35% in use to |
| scale up the frequency. The value should be |
| between 0 - 100 so that it can be compared |
| against load percentage. |
| |
| down_threshold Similar to up_threshold, but on lowering the |
| frequency. For example, when it is set to '2' |
| it means that between the checking intervals |
| the card needs to be on average less than 2% |
| in use to scale down the clocks to minimum |
| frequency. The value should be between 0 - 100 |
| so that it can be compared against load |
| percentage. |
| |
| enable Enable clock scaling for hosts (and cards) |
| that support ultrahigh speed modes |
| (SDR104, DDR50, HS200). |
| |
| echo <desired value> > /sys/class/mmc_host/mmcX/clk_scaling/polling_interval |
| echo <desired value> > /sys/class/mmc_host/mmcX/clk_scaling/up_threshold |
| echo <desired value> > /sys/class/mmc_host/mmcX/clk_scaling/down_threshold |
| echo <desired value> > /sys/class/mmc_host/mmcX/clk_scaling/enable |
