From: Wenchao Chen <wenchao.chen@xxxxxxxxxx>

This patch introduces host->fua_disable for MMC host controller.
The host can turn off FUA to improve performance.

1. fua_disable = 1
/sys/block/mmcblk0/queue # cat fua 0
I tested 5 times for each case and output a average speed.

1) Sequential read:
Speed: 266.8MiB/s, 265.1MiB/s, 262.9MiB/s, 268.7MiB/s, 265.2MiB/s
Average speed: 265.74MiB/s

2) Random read:
Speed: 98.75MiB/s, 98.7MiB/s, 98.5MiB/s, 99.4MiB/s, 98.7MiB/s
Average speed: 98.81MiB/s

3) Sequential write:
Speed: 199.94MiB/s, 199.1MiB/s, 205.5MiB/s, 206.5MiB/s, 191.5MiB/s
Average speed: 200.5MiB/s

4) Random write:
Speed: 68.6MiB/s, 71.8MiB/s, 77.1MiB/s, 64.8MiB/s, 69.3MiB/s
Average speed: 70.32MiB/s

2. fua_disable = 0 (default 0)
/sys/block/mmcblk0/queue # cat fua 1
I tested 5 times for each case and output a average speed.

1) Sequential read:
Speed: 259.3MiB/s, 258.8MiB/s, 258.2MiB/s, 259.5MiB/s, 253.5MiB/s
Average speed: 257.86MiB/s

2) Random read:
Speed: 98.9MiB/s, 101MiB/s, 101MiB/s, 99MiB/s, 101.1MiB/s
Average speed: 100.2MiB/s

3) Sequential write:
Speed: 153.7MiB/s, 146.2MiB/s, 151.2MiB/s, 148.8MiB/s, 147.5MiB/s
Average speed: 149.48MiB/s

4) Random write:
Speed: 12.9MiB/s, 12.3MiB/s, 12.6MiB/s, 12.8MiB/s, 12.8MiB/s
Average speed: 12.68MiB/s

According to the above data, disable FUA (fua_disable = 1) improves the
performance. Therefore, it is recommended to support the host to control
FUA.
