SD and MMC Block Device Attributes
|
|
==================================
|
|
|
|
These attributes are defined for the block devices associated with the
|
|
SD or MMC device.
|
|
|
|
The following attributes are read/write.
|
|
|
|
force_ro Enforce read-only access even if write protect switch is off.
|
|
|
|
SD and MMC Device Attributes
|
|
============================
|
|
|
|
All attributes are read-only.

Note on Erase Size and Preferred Erase Size:
|
|
|
|
"erase_size" is the minimum size, in bytes, of an erase
|
|
operation. For MMC, "erase_size" is the erase group size
|
|
reported by the card. Note that "erase_size" does not apply
|
|
to trim or secure trim operations where the minimum size is
|
|
always one 512 byte sector. For SD, "erase_size" is 512
|
|
if the card is block-addressed, 0 otherwise.
|
|
|
|
SD/MMC cards can erase an arbitrarily large area up to and
|
|
including the whole card. When erasing a large area it may
|
|
be desirable to do it in smaller chunks for three reasons:
|
|
1. A single erase command will make all other I/O on
|
|
the card wait. This is not a problem if the whole card
|
|
is being erased, but erasing one partition will make
|
|
I/O for another partition on the same card wait for the
|
|
duration of the erase - which could be a several
|
|
minutes.
|
|
2. To be able to inform the user of erase progress.
|
|
3. The erase timeout becomes too large to be very
|
|
useful. Because the erase timeout contains a margin
|
|
which is multiplied by the size of the erase area,
|
|
the value can end up being several minutes for large
|
|
areas.
|
|
|
|
"erase_size" is not the most efficient unit to erase
|
|
(especially for SD where it is just one sector),
|
|
hence "preferred_erase_size" provides a good chunk
|
|
size for erasing large areas.
|
|
|
|
For MMC, "preferred_erase_size" is the high-capacity
|
|
erase size if a card specifies one, otherwise it is
|
|
based on the capacity of the card.
|
|
|
|
For SD, "preferred_erase_size" is the allocation unit
|
|
size specified by the card.
|
|
|
|
"preferred_erase_size" is in bytes.
