If not, isn't this functionality that should be added to the block layer instead of to the UFS driver?Hi Bart, I didn't think that before because we've already have the powerful "blktrace" tool to collect the overall statistics of each layer. I add this because I find it really come handy when debug/analyze/profile UFS driver/HW performance. And there will be UFS-specific nodes to be added later to monitor statistics like UFS scaling, gating, doorbell, write booster, HPB and etc.
We are using a designated analysis tool (web-based, a lot of fancy graphs etc.) that relies on ftrace - upiu tracer etc. Once the raw data is there - the options/insights are endless. Thanks, Avri
Thanks. Can Guo.quoted
