The bounce buffer is gone from the MMC core, and now we found out that there are some (crippled) i.MX boards out there that have broken ADMA (cannot do scatter-gather), and also broken PIO so they must use SDMA. Closer examination shows a less significant slowdown also on SDMA-only capable Laptop hosts. SDMA sets down the number of segments to one, so that each segment gets turned into a singular request that ping-pongs to the block layer before the next request/segment is issued. Apparently it happens a lot that the block layer send requests that include a lot of physically discontiguous segments. My guess is that this phenomenon is coming from the file system. These devices that cannot handle scatterlists in hardware can see major benefits from a DMA-contiguous bounce buffer. This patch accumulates those fragmented scatterlists in a physically contiguous bounce buffer so that we can issue bigger DMA data chunks to/from the card. When tested with a PCI-integrated host (1217:8221) that only supports SDMA: 0b:00.0 SD Host controller: O2 Micro, Inc. OZ600FJ0/OZ900FJ0/OZ600FJS SD/MMC Card Reader Controller (rev 05) This patch gave ~1Mbyte/s improved throughput on large reads and writes when testing using iozone than without the patch. dmesg: sdhci-pci 0000:0b:00.0: SDHCI controller found [1217:8221] (rev 5) mmc0 bounce up to 128 segments into one, max segment size 65536 bytes mmc0: SDHCI controller on PCI [0000:0b:00.0] using DMA On the i.MX SDHCI controllers on the crippled i.MX 25 and i.MX 35 the patch restores the performance to what it was before we removed the bounce buffers.
