SubjectRe: [PATCH 0/4] [SCSI] ufshcd: UFS Host Controller Driver
From

>> UFS is designed to be the most advanced specification for
>> both embedded and removable flash memory-based storage in mobile devices
>> such as smart phones and tablet computers.  The UFS standard represents
>> an evolutionary progression of JEDEC standards in this field, and has been
>> specifically tailored for mobile applications and computing systems requiring
>> high performance and low power consumption.  The initial data throughput for
>> UFS will be ~300 megabytes per second (MB/s), and the standard also supports
>> command queuing features to raise random read/write speeds.
>>
>> To achieve the highest performance and most power efficient data
>> transport, UFS uses the leading industry interface standards to form its
>> Interconnect Layer: MIPI® Alliance’s M-PHY and UniProSM  specifications.
>> UniPro is a comprehensive specification meant to act as a universal
>> chip-to-chip protocol, providing a common tunnel for other protocols.
>> The M-PHY interface is designed as the primary physical interface (PHY layer)
>> for the UniPro specification, and is a high speed serial interface targeting
>> up to 2.9 gigabits per second (Gbps) per lane with up-scalability to 5.8Gbps
>> per lane.
>>
>> MIPI’s M-PHY and UniPro specifications are optimized for mobile applications,
>> and are designed from the ground up for efficient power management in mobile
>> devices, including enabling efficient transitions between the active and power
>> save modes. Combined with a low active power level and a near-zero idle power
>> level, UFS offers the promise for significant reductions in device power
>> consumption.
>>
>> The UFS standard adopts the well-known SCSI Architecture Model and command
>> protocols supporting multiple commands with command queuing features and
>> enabling a multi-thread programming paradigm. This differs from conventional
>> flash-based memory cards and embedded flash solutions which process one
>> command at a time, limiting random read/write access performance.
>> In addition, a forthcoming complementary UFS Host Controller Interface (HCI)
>> specification will allow system designers greater flexibility by simplifying
>> the involvement of the host processor in the operation of the flash storage
>> subsystem. The UFS HCI specification and the adoption of SCSI will provide
>> a well-known software programming model and enable wider market adoption.
>>
>> This patchset contains PCIe based UFS host controller driver which complies
>> to UFSHCI 1.0 and 1.1. The driver is based on Linux SCSI framework.
>> The driver is tested with UFS Host controller(FPGA) and UFS device(FPGA).
>>
>> This patch set is successfully applied on kernel version 3.3-rc2.

Hi. Santosh.
Would you share performance measurement result (read/write seq,ran) ?
Thanks.
