Thanks Alan.
CanG & I had some discussions on it as well the other day.
I'm now looking into creating a device link between the siblings.
e.g. make the device wlun as a supplier for all the other luns & wluns.
So device wlun (supplier) wouldn't suspend (runtime/system) until all of the
other
consumers are suspended. After this linking, I can move all the
pm commands that are being sent by host to the dedicated suspend routine of
the device
wlun and the host needn't send any cmds during its suspend and layering
violation wouldn't take place.
Regardless of your above proposal, as for the issues you were witnessing with rpmb,
That started this RFC in the first place, and the whole clearing uac series for that matter:
"In order to conduct FFU or RPMB operations, UFS needs to clear UNIT ATTENTION condition...."

Functionally, This was already done for the device wlun, and only added the rpmb wlun.

Now you are trying to solve stuff because the rpmb is not provisioned.
a) There should be no relation between response to request-sense command,
and if the key is programmed or not. And
b) rpmb is accessed from user-space.  If it is not provisioned, it should processed the error (-7)
   and realize that by itself.  And also, It only makes sense that if needed,
   the access sequence will include  the request-sense command.

Therefore, IMHO, just reverting Randall commit (1918651f2d7e) and fixing the user-space code
Should suffice.

Hi Avri

Thanks.

I don't think reverting 1918651f2d7e would fix this.

The issue is sending any command to any lun which is registered for blk
runtime-pm in ufs host's suspend path would deadlock; since, it'd try to resume
the ufs host in the same suspend calling sequence.
