[PATCH V3 0/2] mmc: hsq: dynamically adjust hsq_depth to improve performance

[Wenchao Chen <wenchao.chen@unisoc.com>]

Change in v3:
- Use "mrq->data->blksz * mrq->data->blocks == 4096" for 4K.
- Add explanation for "HSQ_PERFORMANCE_DEPTH".

Change in v2:
- Support for dynamic adjustment of hsq_depth.

Test
=====
I tested 3 times for each case and output a average speed.
Ran 'fio' to evaluate the performance:
1.Fixed hsq_depth
1) Sequential write:
Speed: 168 164 165
Average speed: 165.67MB/S

2) Sequential read:
Speed: 326 326 326
Average speed: 326MB/S

3) Random write:
Speed: 82.6 83 83
Average speed: 82.87MB/S

4) Random read:
Speed: 48.2 48.3 47.6
Average speed: 48.03MB/S

2.Dynamic hsq_depth
1) Sequential write:
Speed: 167 166 166
Average speed: 166.33MB/S

2) Sequential read:
Speed: 327 326 326
Average speed: 326.3MB/S

3) Random write:
Speed: 86.1 86.2 87.7
Average speed: 86.67MB/S

4) Random read:
Speed: 48.1 48 48
Average speed: 48.03MB/S

Based on the above data, dynamic hsq_depth can improve the performance of random writes.
Random write improved by 4.6%.

In addition, we tested 8K and 16K.
1.Fixed hsq_depth
1) Random write(bs=8K):
Speed: 116 114 115
Average speed: 115MB/S

2) Random read(bs=8K):
Speed: 83 83 82.5
Average speed: 82.8MB/S

3) Random write(bs=16K):
Speed: 141 142 141
Average speed: 141.3MB/S

4) Random read(bs=16K):
Speed: 132 132 132
Average speed: 132MB/S

2.Dynamic hsq_depth(mrq->data->blksz * mrq->data->blocks == 8192 or 16384)
1) Random write(bs=8K):
Speed: 115 115 115
Average speed: 115MB/S

2) Random read(bs=8K):
Speed: 82.7 82.9 82.8
Average speed: 82.8MB/S

3) Random write(bs=16K):
Speed: 143 141 141
Average speed: 141.6MB/S

4) Random read(bs=16K):
Speed: 132 132 132
Average speed: 132MB/S

Increasing hsq_depth cannot improve 8k and 16k random read/write performance.
To reduce latency, we dynamically increase hsq_depth only for 4k random writes.

Test cmd
=========
1)write: fio -filename=/dev/mmcblk0p72 -direct=1 -rw=write -bs=512K -size=512M -group_reporting -name=test -numjobs=8 -thread -iodepth=64									
2)read: fio -filename=/dev/mmcblk0p72 -direct=1 -rw=read -bs=512K -size=512M -group_reporting -name=test -numjobs=8 -thread -iodepth=64									
3)randwrite: fio -filename=/dev/mmcblk0p72 -direct=1 -rw=randwrite -bs=4K -size=512M -group_reporting -name=test -numjobs=8 -thread -iodepth=64									
4)randread: fio -filename=/dev/mmcblk0p72 -direct=1 -rw=randread -bs=4K -size=512M -group_reporting -name=test -numjobs=8 -thread -iodepth=64
