[U-Boot] [PATCH v2] mmc: Update "mmc->part_num" when performing a partition switch

When running the "save" command several times on a mx6qsabresd we see:
U-Boot > save Saving Environment to MMC... Writing to MMC(1)... done U-Boot > save Saving Environment to MMC... MMC partition switch failed U-Boot > save Saving Environment to MMC... Writing to MMC(1)... done U-Boot > save Saving Environment to MMC... MMC partition switch failed U-Boot > save Saving Environment to MMC... Writing to MMC(1)... done U-Boot > save Saving Environment to MMC... MMC partition switch failed
Fix this by updating mmc->part_num inside mmc_switch_part() after a succesful mmc partition switch.
After this fix, we no longer see the error after the "save" command on a mx6qsabresd. Also tested on a mx53loco.

This surely has exactly the same issue as the previous version, where the update of part_num was done inside common/env_mmc.c?

My understading is that the mmc core should update mmc->part_num and I don't see such update, or am I missing something?
Thanks,

That seems like a reasonable way for the code to work. However, you'd need to modify common/env_mmc.c:init_mmc_for_env() so that it saves off mmc->part_num before switching MMC partitions, so that fini_mmc_for_env() knows which partition to switch back to. Right now, it relies on the fact that mmc_switch_part() does not update mmc->part_num, and hence uses that value to save the previously selected partition ID.
Also, if you make this change, I think you can update common/cmd_mmc.c:do_mmcops(), since it will no longer need to update mmc->part_num after a successful switch.

In env_mmc.c, you'll want something like:
+#ifdef CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_PART +static char orig_part_num; +#ifdef CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_PART
static int init_mmc_for_env(struct mmc *mmc) ... #ifdef CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_PART + orig_part_num = mmc->part_num; if (CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_PART != mmc->part_num) { if (mmc_switch_part(CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_DEV, CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_PART)) { puts("MMC partition switch failed\n"); return -1; } } #endif ... static void fini_mmc_for_env(struct mmc *mmc) { #ifdef CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_PART - if (CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_PART != mmc->part_num) + if (mmc->part_num != orig_part_num) mmc_switch_part(CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_DEV, - mmc->part_num); + orig_part_num); #endif }

Of course; with that patch applied, there is no effective difference in the code - you've just cleaned it up to have the MMC core manage mmc->part_num, rather than requiring all callers to update it themselves.

I have no idea why that happens. You'll simply have to debug the code. Do you have CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_PART set? I wasn't aware anyone else used it, besides Tegra.

Yes, this is the issue. CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_PART is used incorrectly on this board.
Will update its config file.

If I keep the original 'mmc->part_num' here, then it works.

It doesn't "work", it just hides the problem. By passing mmc->part_num here, you're passing the partition that's already/currently selected rather than restoring the original value. Selecting it again is a no-op; IIRC the MMC core explicitly checks for this condition and immediately returns without touching the HW.
