v8 cover fix abort defect

From: Peter Wang <[email protected]>

V8:
- Remove the abort variable to simplify the abort process.
- Correct error handler successfully aborts release flow.
- Ingore MCQ OCS: ABORTED.

V7:
- Use a variable instead of a flag.
- Add a check for MCQ mode when setting this variable to UFS_ERR_HANDLER.
- Print OCS information for OCS_ABORTED and OCS_INVALID_COMMAND_STATUS.
- Add a MediaTek quirk for handling OCS_ABORTED in SDB mode.
- Skip notifying SCSI from ISR during SCSI abort (ufshcd_abort()).

V6:
- Add err handler check before set flag true.

V5:
- Change flag name.
- Amend comment and patch description.

V4:
- Remove nullify SQ entry abort requeue.
- Add more comment for flag usage and set description.
- Fix build warning.

V3:
- Change comment and use variable(rtc) for error print
- Change flag name and move flag set before ufshcd_clear_cmd
- Add SDB mode clear UTRLCLR tag receive OCS_ABORTED requeue

V2:
- Fix mcq_enabled build error.

PATCH v8 1/3 ufs: core: fix the issue of ICU failure

From: Peter Wang <[email protected]>

When setting the ICU bit without using read-modify-write, SQRTCy will restart SQ again and receive an RTC return error code 2 (Failure - SQ not stopped).

Additionally, the error log has been modified so that this type of error can be observed.

PATCH v8 2/3 ufs: core: fix error handler process for MCQ abort

In reply to [email protected]

From: Peter Wang <[email protected]>

When the error handler successfully aborts a MCQ request, it only releases the command and does not notify the SCSI layer. This may cause another abort after 30 seconds timeout. This patch notifies the SCSI layer to requeue the request.

Additionally, ignore the OCS: ABORTED CQ slot after MCQ mode SQ cleanup. This makes the behavior of MCQ mode consistent with that of legacy SDB mode.

Also, print logs for OCS: ABORTED and OCS_INVALID_COMMAND_STATUS for debugging purposes.

Thanks,

Because according to the specification, only MCQ will have
OCS: ABORTED. MediaTek, even with a quirk handling SDB OCS ABORTED, cannot simply ignore it here and not deal with it. Otherwise, it would need to release directly like MCQ ufshcd_abort_one.

Thanks

PATCH v8 3/3 ufs: core: add a quirk for MediaTek SDB mode aborted

In reply to [email protected]

From: Peter Wang <[email protected]>

Because the MediaTek UFS controller uses UTRLCLR to clear commands and fills the OCS with ABORTED, this patch introduces a quirk to treat ABORTED as INVALID_OCS_VALUE.

Hi Bart,

Sorry, I might not have understood the potential racing issue here.

The SCSI abort command doesn't need to wait for completion because SCSI doesn't care about cmd->result, right?

The error handler abort also doesn't need to wait for completion, because it should have a guaranteed order?
Firstly, ufshcd_abort_one is only likely to be filled back with OCS: ABORTED by MediaTek UFS controller after ufshcd_try_to_abort_task, and the sequence is as follows.

ufshcd_err_handler()
ufshcd_abort_all()
ufshcd_abort_one()
ufshcd_try_to_abort_task() // trigger mediatek controller
fill OCS: ABORTED
ufshcd_complete_requests()
ufshcd_transfer_req_compl()
ufshcd_poll()
get outstanding_lock
clear outstanding_reqs tag
release outstanding_lock __ufshcd_transfer_req_compl()
ufshcd_compl_one_cqe()
cmd->result = DID_REQUEUE // mediatek may need quirk
change DID_ABORT to DID_REQUEUE

In addition, the ISR will use the outstanding_lock with ufshcd_err_handler to provide protection, so there won't be any racing that causes the command to be released repeatedly. The only possible issue might be that after ufshcd_abort_one, the MediaTek UFS controller has not yet filled in OCS: ABORTED and has entered ufshcd_transfer_rsp_status for checking. But this doesn't matter, because it will just be treated as OCS_INVALID_COMMAND_STATUS.

Is there any corner case that I might have overlooked?

Thanks.
Peter

Is there any corner case that I might have overlooked?

Maybe I misunderstood how MediaTek controllers work. Anyway, if a MediaTek controller reports the completion status OCS_ABORTED, is there any chance that this status will be reported after ufshcd_release_scsi_cmd() has been called? Is there any chance that the controller writing OCS_ABORTED into the status field will race with the host software overwriting that status field while submitting a new command?

Hi Bart,

Okay, I may not have clearly explained the behavior of the MediaTek UFS controller.

In the UFSHCI specification, under the description of UTRLCLR. After writing to UTRLCLR, when UTRLDBR is cleared to 0,
the MediaTek UFS controller will simultaneously change the OCS to ABORTED. So, OCS: ABORTED is filled at the moment when ufshcd_clear_cmd successfully waits for DBR to clear. That's why I wrote it like this:
ufshcd_try_to_abort_task() // triggers MediaTek controller to fill OCS:
ABORTED

Therefore, the status should already be ABORTED before ufshcd_release_scsi_cmd, so there shouldn't be a racing issue.

Thanks.
Peter
