[PATCH] cmd: mtd: fix speed measurement in the speed benchmark

[PATCH] cmd: mtd: fix speed measurement in the speed benchmark

[Mikhail Kshevetskiy]

The shown speed inverse linearly depends on size of data.
See the output:

  spi-nand: spi_nand nand@0: Micron SPI NAND was found.
  spi-nand: spi_nand nand@0: 256 MiB, block size: 128 KiB, page size: 2048, OOB size: 128
  ...
  => mtd read.benchmark spi-nand0 $loadaddr 0 0x40000
  Reading 262144 byte(s) (128 page(s)) at offset 0x00000000
  Read speed: 63kiB/s
  => mtd read.benchmark spi-nand0 $loadaddr 0 0x20000
  Reading 131072 byte(s) (64 page(s)) at offset 0x00000000
  Read speed: 127kiB/s
  => mtd read.benchmark spi-nand0 $loadaddr 0 0x10000
  Reading 65536 byte(s) (32 page(s)) at offset 0x00000000
  Read speed: 254kiB/s

In the spi-nand case 'io_op.len' is not the same as 'len',
thus we divide a size of the single block on total time.
This is wrong, we should divide on the time for a single
block.

Happy to see this is useful :-) But you're totally right, it didn't use
the correct length. Maybe I would rephrase a bit the last two sentences
to make the commit clearer:

"In the spi-nand case 'io_op.len' is not always the same as 'len', thus
we are using the wrong amount of data to derive the speed."

However, regarding the diff,

Why not just dividing the length by the benchmark time instead of
reducing and rounding the denominator in the first place, which I
believe makes the final result less precise?

Do we use 64 bit math? If not we may easily get an overflow.
Actually for 32-bit math it's better use a less precise formula:
(io_op.len * (1000000/1024)) / block_time; thus we will have about 22
bit for length.

I considered overflow out of topic (see the v1 of the benchmark
introduction) as we do not run bootloaders for hours. Yes it is
definitely reachable, but for a development/benchmarking tool, I didn't
consider this as a problem.

[PATCH v2] cmd: mtd: fix speed measurement in the speed benchmark

[Mikhail Kshevetskiy]

The shown speed inversely proportional to the data size.
See the output:

  spi-nand: spi_nand nand@0: Micron SPI NAND was found.
  spi-nand: spi_nand nand@0: 256 MiB, block size: 128 KiB, page size: 2048, OOB size: 128
  ...
  => mtd read.benchmark spi-nand0 $loadaddr 0 0x40000
  Reading 262144 byte(s) (128 page(s)) at offset 0x00000000
  Read speed: 63kiB/s
  => mtd read.benchmark spi-nand0 $loadaddr 0 0x20000
  Reading 131072 byte(s) (64 page(s)) at offset 0x00000000
  Read speed: 127kiB/s
  => mtd read.benchmark spi-nand0 $loadaddr 0 0x10000
  Reading 65536 byte(s) (32 page(s)) at offset 0x00000000
  Read speed: 254kiB/s

In the spi-nand case 'io_op.len' is not always the same as 'len', thus
we are using the wrong amount of data to derive the speed.

The patch also updates the help for 'mtd read' command to show the presence
of the benchmark option. The help for the 'mtd write' command help has not
been changed to fit 80 character width restriction.

I would put this into a second commit, and anyway adapt the write
command as well. I do not think the 80 chars rule is so important here.

This should have been done in a separate patch. In general we prefer
atomic changes. It's okay as the diff is small, but as an example I'd
have instead done that with 3 patches:
- Fix the calculation (sf/io_op.len/len)
- Change the size because you fear 1h is not enough
- Document the commands

Anyway,

[PATCH v3 0/2] cmd: mtd: fix benchmarking

[Mikhail Kshevetskiy]

The patch series fixes speed calculation for nand device case and
updates help to refer benchmark option presence.

Changes v2:

 * 'Fixes:' tag was added
 * calculate speed a bit more precisely using a 64-bit math

Changes v3:
 * split on 2 patches
 * update help for 'mtd write' command as well

[PATCH v3 1/2] cmd: mtd: fix speed measurement in the speed benchmark

[Mikhail Kshevetskiy]

The shown speed is inversely proportional to the data size.
See the output:

  spi-nand: spi_nand nand@0: Micron SPI NAND was found.
  spi-nand: spi_nand nand@0: 256 MiB, block size: 128 KiB, page size: 2048, OOB size: 128
  ...
  => mtd read.benchmark spi-nand0 $loadaddr 0 0x40000
  Reading 262144 byte(s) (128 page(s)) at offset 0x00000000
  Read speed: 63kiB/s
  => mtd read.benchmark spi-nand0 $loadaddr 0 0x20000
  Reading 131072 byte(s) (64 page(s)) at offset 0x00000000
  Read speed: 127kiB/s
  => mtd read.benchmark spi-nand0 $loadaddr 0 0x10000
  Reading 65536 byte(s) (32 page(s)) at offset 0x00000000
  Read speed: 254kiB/s

In the spi-nand case 'io_op.len' is not always the same as 'len', thus
we are using the wrong amount of data to derive the speed.

Also make sure we are using 64-bit calculation to get a more precise
results.

[PATCH v3 2/2] cmd: mtd: add benchmark option to the help

[Mikhail Kshevetskiy]

The patch adds benchmark option to the help of mtd command. For the
'mtd write' case the help line exceed 80 characters. Ignore this issue
as modern terminals are capable to handle more characters.

The patch also formats other command to make sure all device names
starts on the same collumn.

[PATCH v4 2/2] cmd: mtd: fix speed measurement in the speed benchmark

[Mikhail Kshevetskiy]

The shown speed is inversely proportional to the data size.
See the output:

  spi-nand: spi_nand nand@0: Micron SPI NAND was found.
  spi-nand: spi_nand nand@0: 256 MiB, block size: 128 KiB, page size: 2048, OOB size: 128
  ...

  Reading 262144 byte(s) (128 page(s)) at offset 0x00000000
  Read speed: 63kiB/s
  => mtd read.benchmark spi-nand0 $loadaddr 0 0x20000
  Reading 131072 byte(s) (64 page(s)) at offset 0x00000000

  Reading 65536 byte(s) (32 page(s)) at offset 0x00000000
  Read speed: 254kiB/s

In the spi-nand case 'io_op.len' is not always the same as 'len', thus
we are using the wrong amount of data to derive the speed.

Also make sure we are using 64-bit calculation to get a more precise
results.
