    mmc: block: Add new ioctl to send multi commands · a5f5774c

    Certain eMMC devices allow vendor specific device information to be read
    via a sequence of vendor commands. These vendor commands must be issued
    in sequence and an atomic fashion. One way to support this would be to
    add an ioctl function for sending a sequence of commands to the device
    atomically as proposed here. These multi commands are simple array of
    the existing mmc_ioc_cmd structure.
    
    The structure passed via the ioctl uses a __u64 type to specify the number
    of commands (so that the structure is aligned on a 64-bit boundary) and a
    zero length array as a header for list of commands to be issued. The
    maximum number of commands that can be sent is determined by
    MMC_IOC_MAX_CMDS (which defaults to 255 and should be more than
    sufficient).
