This patch introduces to mmcpstore.

v5:
 - Implement non-panic read/write support through pstore callbacks

v4:
 - Fix claiming host if host was already held or
   if the device claiming host is not runtime active

v3:
 - Justify new host ops requirement through commit msg
 - Remove 'default n' in Kconfig

v2:
 - Fix modpost issue with ARCH=sh
 - Fix usage of ifdefs in common functions
 - Add justification of new APIs to mmc_host_ops
 - Compile mmcpstore as part of mmc blk

Okay, let me again try to clarify on how I see this to move this forward.

1)
In my opinion, pstore shouldn't be using callbacks for *regular* I/O
read/writes. It's upside-down of how the storage stack is designed to
work.

Instead, pstore should be implemented as a regular filesystem, that
can be mounted on top of a regular block device partition. In this
way, the lower layer block device drivers (as mmc), don't need special
support for pstore, the regular I/O block read/write path will just
work as is.

2)
When it comes to supporting *panic* writes for pstore, things become a
bit more complicated. For sure some adaptations are needed in each
block device driver to support this.

However, the current method means relying on the lower level block
device driver to figure out the pstore partition. Based on that, it
should then register itself for pstore support and hook up callbacks
for the corresponding block device driver instance, at least that is
what it looks like to me. Again, I think this is upside-down from the
storage stack perspective. The partition to use for pstore, should be
based upon its file system mount point.

Furthermore, I think the responsibility for lower layer block device
drivers should instead be to just "register/announce" themselves as
capable of supporting "panic writes", if they can. Exactly how to best
do this, probably needs to be discussed further with the block device
people, I think. I have looped in Jens and Christoph, perhaps they can
share their opinion in this.

That said, it looks to me that pstore needs more work before it's
ready to be adopted for generic support in block device drivers.

Kind regards
Uffe

Hi Uffe,

With due respect to pstore/blk subsystem changes we have been waiting since long time to see Christoph patches taken.
But unfortunately it is still finding at that same stage only. Can you please take up my patch in the current form
(which is based on current pstore/blk framework) instead of waiting indefinitely. If pstore/blk comes up with the changes
that has been discussed by you previously, I will further submit the corresponding changes for eMMC devices.

Thanks,
Bhaskara

What patches are you referring to?

No, I am sorry, but that's not the way it works.

If you really want to move things forward, I would suggest that you
try to implement something along the lines of what I have suggested.
Another option is to post an RFD/RFC so as solution can be discussed
with the relevant people.

Kind regards
Uffe

Alright. I didn't know about these, thanks for the pointer. Looks like

Given that Kees was unwilling to take the series to unbreak the pstore
block support I've sent a patch to Jens to mark it broken and thus
effectively disable it.  We can't really let this spread any further.

I applied the first three:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/160685706687.2724892.9289969466453217944.b4-ty@chromium.org/

and explained my aversion to the others. Christoph never replied to my
notes on patch 8/9:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/202012011149.5650B9796@keescook/

Hmm? You never replied to my concerns:
