[PATCH 0/6] mmc: block: command issue cleanups

[PATCH 0/6] mmc: block: command issue cleanups

[Linus Walleij]

The function mmc_blk_issue_rw_rq() is hopelessly convoluted and
need to be refactored to it can be understood by humans.

In the process I found some weird magic return values passed
around for no good reason.

Things are more readable after this.

This work is done towards the goal of breaking the function in
two parts: one just submitting the requests and one checking the
result and possibly resubmitting the command on error, so we
can make the usual path (non-errorpath) smooth and quick, and
be called directly when the driver completes a request.

That in turn is a prerequisite for proper blk-mq integration
with the MMC/SD stack.

All that comes later.

  mmc: block: break out mmc_blk_rw_cmd_abort()
  mmc: block: break out mmc_blk_rw_start_new()
  mmc: block: do not assign mq_rq when aborting command

  mmc: block: introduce new_areq and old_areq
  mmc: block: stop passing around pointless return values

[PATCH 1/6] mmc: block: break out mmc_blk_rw_cmd_abort()

[Linus Walleij]

As a first step toward breaking apart the very complex function
mmc_blk_issue_rw_rq() we break out the command abort code.
This code assumes "ret" is != 0 and then repeatedly hammers
blk_end_request() until the request to the block layer to end
the request succeeds.

blk_end_request is returning bool, so maybe this variable should have 
matching type since it is only usage in this scope? And maybe it should 
have more meaningful name for this case?

I am just moving/refactoring the code syntax without changing any
semantics. It was an int in the old code so it is an int in the new
code.

It is possible to fix this and other problems as separate patches.

As you can see it also spins here for all eternity if the function
just returns != 0 all the time, that doesn't look good either.

[PATCH 3/6] mmc: block: do not assign mq_rq when aborting command

[Linus Walleij]

The code in mmc_blk_issue_rq_rq() aborts a command if the request
is not properly aligned on large sectors. As part of the path
jumping out, it assigns the local variable mq_rq reflecting
a MMC queue request to the current MMC queue request, which is
confusing since the variable is not used after this jump.

[PATCH 4/6] mmc: block: inline command abortions

[Linus Walleij]

Setting rqc to NULL followed by a goto to cmd_abort is just a way
to do unconditional abort without starting any new command.
Inline the calls to mmc_blk_rw_cmd_abort() and return immediately
in those cases.

As a result, mmc_blk_rw_start_new() is not called with NULL
requests, and we can remove the NULL check in the beginning of
this function.

Add some comments to the code flow so it is clear that this is
where the asynchronous requests come back in and the result of
them gets handled.

[PATCH 5/6] mmc: block: introduce new_areq and old_areq

[Linus Walleij]

Recycling the same variable in an x=x+1 fashion may seem
clever here but it makes the code terse and hard to follow
for humans. Introduce a new_areq and old_areq variable so
we see what is going on.

[PATCH 6/6] mmc: block: stop passing around pointless return values

[Linus Walleij]

The mmc_blk_issue_rq() function is called in exactly one place
in queue.c and there the return value is ignored. So the
functions called from that function that also meticulously
return 0/1 do so for no good reason.

Error reporting on the asynchronous requests are done upward to
the block layer when the requests are eventually completed or
fail, which may happen during the flow of the mmc_blk_issue_*
functions directly (for "special commands") or later, when an
asynchronous read/write request is completed.

The issuing functions do not give rise to errors on their own,
and there is nothing to return back to the caller in queue.c.
Drop all return values and make the function return void.

Linus,

Seems like this series may have issues. I have looked at boot reports
from kernelci, and particular the reports for
https://kernelci.org/boot/sun7i-a20-bananapi/job/ulfh/ are
interesting.

Apparently, this board has an SD card attached. There have been errors
reported in the log for a while when doing data transfers, although
none of these errors have triggered the kernelci to report a boot
error.

However, I suspect that some of the changes in this series make it
worse. Perhaps because of a changed error handling the mmc block
layer!?

Particular, look at the difference between these [1] boot logs, it
might give you some hints. I have also added Maxime to this thread,
perhaps he can help out with the sunxi mmc driver.

Kind regards
Uffe

We also had a patch on the pinctrl side in 4.10, whose side effects
would be to disable the pull ups on some boards that have not been
configuring their pins properly (while the previous behaviour was to
keep what the bootloader set).

That board seems to fall in that category.

That behaviour has been reverted, and Linus merged it already, so it
might be entirely unrelated to that serie.

Damned I wish I could be hands-on with this system and bisect
it. It's very helpful with shaky systems really. Sadly the errors are
hard to reproduce :(

So something was causing errors on the read command.

The new errors look like so:

This "fatal err update clk timeout" is new and is coming from the driver.

[    8.776985] LR is at mmc_blk_issue_rw_rq+0x124/0x370

And now it is crashing at mmc_blk_rw_rq_prep() + 0x20 so I suspect it is one of
these:

struct mmc_blk_request *brq = &mqrq->brq;
struct request *req = mqrq->req;
struct mmc_blk_data *md = mq->blkdata;

I guess the first: mqrq is NULL.

So I suspect the oneliner in commit 0ebd6e72b5ee2592625d5ae567a729345dfe07b6
"mmc: block: do not assign mq_rq when aborting command"

That is not easily reverted so I will sent a RTF patch to restore the behaviour.

Yours,
Linus Walleij

Bah looking closer at that it just doesn't make any logical sense at all.

I now suspect the NULL check removed in mmc_blk_rw_start_new()
to be behind this, so sent a patch to restore it.

No idea how to test it or if it's the real problem.

I had to rebase my further patches on top too, so if you merge this
I need to resend the next series.
