Commit Message

Bart Van Assche Sept. 29, 2022, 10 p.m. UTC
The following deadlock has been observed on multiple test setups:
* ufshcd_wl_suspend() is waiting for blk_execute_rq() to complete while it
  holds host_sem.
* ufshcd_eh_host_reset_handler() invokes ufshcd_err_handler() and the
  latter function tries to obtain host_sem.
This is a deadlock because blk_execute_rq() can't execute SCSI commands
while the host is in the SHOST_RECOVERY state and because the error
handler cannot make progress either.

Fix this deadlock as follows:
* Fail attempts to suspend the system while the SCSI error handler is in
  progress.
* If the system is suspending and a START STOP UNIT command times out,
  handle the SCSI command timeout from inside the context of the SCSI
  timeout handler instead of activating the SCSI error handler.
* Reduce the START STOP UNIT command timeout to one second since on
  Android devices a kernel panic is triggered if an attempt to suspend
  the system takes more than 20 seconds. One second should be enough for
  the START STOP UNIT command since this command completes in less than
  a millisecond for the UFS devices I have access to.

The runtime power management code is not affected by this deadlock since
hba->host_sem is not touched by the runtime power management functions
in the UFS driver.

Hi Bart,

Yes, install the whole series of changes, ufshcd_link_recovery() will
be called during the system is in suspending in the case of SSU
timeouts. in this case, outstanding_tasks should be 0? 

Kind regards,
Bean

  Hi Bean,

'outstanding_tasks' needs to be changed into 'outstanding_reqs' in patch 
8/8. My understanding is that ufshcd_link_recovery() calls 
ufshcd_complete_requests() indirectly. That causes the bits 
corresponding to completed requests to be cleared from outstanding_reqs 
but does not guarantee that outstanding_reqs will be zero.

Thanks,

Bart.
