32 Note on Erase Size and Preferred Erase Size:
34 "erase_size" is the minimum size, in bytes, of an erase
35 operation. For MMC, "erase_size" is the erase group size
36 reported by the card. Note that "erase_size" does not apply
37 to trim or secure trim operations where the minimum size is
38 always one 512 byte sector. For SD, "erase_size" is 512
39 if the card is block-addressed, 0 otherwise.
41 SD/MMC cards can erase an arbitrarily large area up to and
42 including the whole card. When erasing a large area it may
43 be desirable to do it in smaller chunks for three reasons:
44 1. A single erase command will make all other I/O on
45 the card wait. This is not a problem if the whole card
46 is being erased, but erasing one partition will make
47 I/O for another partition on the same card wait for the
48 duration of the erase - which could be a several
50 2. To be able to inform the user of erase progress.
51 3. The erase timeout becomes too large to be very
52 useful. Because the erase timeout contains a margin
53 which is multiplied by the size of the erase area,
54 the value can end up being several minutes for large
57 "erase_size" is not the most efficient unit to erase
58 (especially for SD where it is just one sector),
59 hence "preferred_erase_size" provides a good chunk
60 size for erasing large areas.
62 For MMC, "preferred_erase_size" is the high-capacity
63 erase size if a card specifies one, otherwise it is
64 based on the capacity of the card.
66 For SD, "preferred_erase_size" is the allocation unit
67 size specified by the card.
69 "preferred_erase_size" is in bytes.
71 Note on raw_rpmb_size_mult:
72 "raw_rpmb_size_mult" is a mutliple of 128kB block.
73 RPMB size in byte is calculated by using the following equation:
74 RPMB partition size = 128kB x raw_rpmb_size_mult
