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