Subject: Re: [PATCH v5 2/2] mmc: core: Support packed command for eMMC4.5 
     device

Hi,

Our tests showed that the write packing improved the performance of the
write sequential operations:

Long write operation:
----------------------
no-packing: 15.8 MB/s
packed commands patch (both READ and WRITE packing are enabled): 23.3 MB/s

Several parallel write operations (sum of all the write throughputs):
---------------------------
no-packing: 17.1 MB/s
packed commands patch(both READ and WRITE packing are enabled): 25 MB/s

Parallel long read and long write operations (write throughput):
-----------------------------------------------------------------
no-packing: 12.2 MB/s
packed commands patch (both READ and WRITE packing are enabled): 16.3 MB/s

Parallel short read and long write operations (write throughput):
-----------------------------------------------------------------
no-packing: 15.4 MB/s
packed commands patch (both READ and WRITE packing are enabled): 16.4 MB/s

Several Parallel short read and short write operations (sum of all the
write throughputs):
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
no-packing: 12.5 MB/s
packed commands patch (both READ and WRITE packing are enabled): 15.5 MB/s


Random read and random write:
------------------------------
I checked the random read and random write IOPs by using the IOZONE
application. There was a slight degradation in the read results due to the
packing and no improvements in the write results.

The results are:

IOZONE file size of 100M:
no-packing: random read: 4675, random write: 729
packed commands patch (both READ and WRITE packing are enabled): random
read: 4557 random write: 723

IOZONE file size of 256M:
no-packing: random read: 4632, random write: 744
packed commands patch (both READ and WRITE packing are enabled): random
read: 4498, random write: 742
