[PATCH] Two fixes for my mmc/sd cardreader

[PATCH] Two fixes for my mmc/sd cardreader

[Maxim Levitsky]

Hi,

These are 2 fixes for my card reader.


First patch fixes old issue with system hand on suspend to disk/ram with
mmc card inserted.
I updated description, and pm notification registration order.
I think this patch can an should go to 2.6.35, because it fixes long
standing and nasty regression.

The second patch is a result of my work trying to understand why my card
reader sometimes dies on resume.
This reader has a special MMC function which steals MMC cards, and until
now had no driver. A way to disable it was found, and while it works, it
has (at least here) a side effect of killing the controller on resume
from ram/disk (and it happens often, and doesn't depend of whether card
was in slot or not during suspend).

Fortunately it turned out that MMC part is _almost_ standard SDHCI
controller.
This patch adds support for this device to standard sdhci driver.
Unfortunately, this support still contais small hack.
It waits 1/2 of a second on resume before initializing the controller.
Not doing so, and resuming with MMC card present results in confused
controller. It is not dead though. A card reinsert makes it work again
with all cards.
Yet the 1st patch is must for this because otherwise mmc core seeing
that controller doesn't respond, removes the card, therefore hangs the
system.
It doesn't happen when I wait these 1/2 of second though.

I think that this patch is also ok for 2.6.35, because it only adds new
functionality.
You are free to disable MMC controller using the same
CONFIG_MMC_RICOH_MMC.

If you don't disable it though, instead of full lack of functionality
you will get full featured MMC controller.

Best regards,
Maxim Levitsky

[PATCH 1/2] MMC: fix all hangs related to mmc/sd card insert/removal during suspend/resume.

[Maxim Levitsky]

If you don't use CONFIG_MMC_UNSAFE_RESUME, as soon as you attempt to
suspend, the card will be removed, therefore this patch doesn't change
the behavior of this option.

However the removal will be done by pm notifier, which runs while
userspace is still not frozen and thus can freely use del_gendisk,
without the risk of deadlock which would happen otherwise.


Card detect workqueue is now freezeable,
therefore if you do use CONFIG_MMC_UNSAFE_RESUME,
and remove the card during suspend, the removal will be
detected as soon as userspace is unfrozen, again at the moment
it is safe to call del_gendisk.

Tested with and without CONFIG_MMC_UNSAFE_RESUME with suspend and hibernate.

Is it possible that you receive PM_SUSPEND_PREPARE
but there is no suspend and therefore no resume
and therefore the card is removed but not detected
again?

Is it possible that you are racing with kmmcd and the
card is added after you receive PM_SUSPEND_PREPARE but
before kmmcd is frozen?

This is very good point.
The solution is to kick mmc detection thread from this notifier.
on resume.
I update the patch.

This is unlikely but valid race.
I afraid I don't know nice way to solve it right now.
I can add some ad-hoc variable to tell interrupt handler not to kick the
detection workqueue after suspend notifier was called.

I wish there was a generic freeze_workqueue function.

There are freezable workqueues that are automatically frozen during suspend
by the process freezer.  However, at the moment they need to be singlethread
and I'm not sure if using one in this particular case is appropriate.

I *do* use freezable  work-queue.
However since this is pm notifier, it is called before userspace and the
workqueue is frozen.
Therefore I would like manually to freeze the workqueue from the pm
notifier.

I overlooked that, sorry.

No, that won't work.  You need to find an alternative solution.  I guess you
may insert a work item that's going to sleep until a condition is
satisfied (analogous to a workqueue barrier) and wait for it to run.

Something like suspend_workqueue() and resume_workqueue();

In addition to that I just found that .suspend function sometimes can
return -ENOSYS, which triggers card removal. I wrongly remove that chunk
of code.

To make the thing picture perfect I would have to invest more time to
it, I will do so as soon as I finish my exams.

Meanwhile the current patch already fixes all but corner cases or rather
nasty hang on suspend with any MMC/SD card inserted.

Well, there was no need for that until now. :-)

OK

I think Andrew has already taken [2/2].

Andrew, who's maintaining MMC now?

I took them both, but I need to come back to this discussion to work
out what to do with them now.

> Andrew, who's maintaining MMC now?

Pierre stopped doing it, so I'm now pretending to.

I actually pretend to maintain a huge number of subsystems and should
sprinkle akpms all over MAINTAINERS so stuff doesn't get lost.

I think they are worth merging.  At least they shouldn't break things and
Maxim has already promised to clean up that code in future.

I see.

If you have anything PM-related, I can handle that too.

So I guess I should remove the mmc tree (currently empty) from
linux-next, then?

How about splitting these subsystems out of -mm and adding them to
linux-next?

Sigh.  Need to get onto that.  I suppose you'd prefer something that
actually compiles a bit, too.

[PATCH 2/2] mmc: make sdhci work with ricoh mmc controller

[Maxim Levitsky]

The current way of disabling it is not well tested by vendor
and has all kinds of bugs that show up on resume from ram/disk.
A very good example is a dead SDHCI controller.

Old way of disabling is still supported by
continuing to use CONFIG_MMC_RICOH_MMC.

Based on 'http://list.drzeus.cx/pipermail/sdhci-devel/2007-December/002085.html'
Therefore most of the credit for this goes to Andrew de Quincey
