RE: [PATCH RFC 0/3] Add ufs provisioning support in driver

Hi Stanislav,

Thank you for the comments.

Please check my answers below:
1. New descriptors structures are redefinition of the descriptors info (see
definitions of  device_desc_param, unit_desc_param, etc in
drivers/scsi/ufs/ufs.h)
[Sayali] I checked enum device_desc_param, unit_desc_param in ufs.h. These
enum's are actually defining parameter offsets (not values) for device/unit
descriptors.
What we want is to assign/get certain value for each configurable parameter
and then write it to Configuration descriptor.
The new descriptors structures and its members added in my patches are meant
for Configuration descriptor (which is combination of configurable
device/unit desc parameters)
New structs added:
ufs_unit_desc ==> correspond to Table 14-12 - Unit Descriptor configurable
parameters (from specs)
ufs_config_descr ==>  correspond to Table 14-10 - Configuration Descr.
Header and Device Descr. Conf. parameters (INDEX = 00h)

These structs are required and will contain the actual values (parsed via
sysfs buffer) of configurable parameters of device/unit descriptors.

2. You didn't took into consideration the recently added UFS sysfs
infostructure.
[Sayali] Do you mean below commits ?
commit d829fc8a1058851f1058b4a29ea02da125c1684a  (scsi: ufs: sysfs: unit
descriptor)
commit 45bced87e79316ecd868aee8f187284025792c5f  (scsi: ufs: sysfs: device
descriptor)
As per my understanding, these are read only interface to show unit/device
descriptors/parameters via sysfs.
There is no sysfs api to write configurable parameters of unit/device desc.
Please correct me if I am missing something here.

3. The idea of passing the binary buffer as a string is a bit flawed and the
parser doesn't provide any protection against bad data (e.g just send the
string "100").
[Sayali] Read only interface is already present upstream to get descriptor
data from device (as you pointed above)
In similar lines, I thought of using sysfs write interface to provision UFS
device.

In my current implementation and testing , the buffer (being passed via
sysfs) is obtained using a python script.
The script provides sanitized buffer after parsing vendor specific
provisioning data/file. 
Still I agree I should check and add more protection against bad data
handling in my code. Will update this is my next patch set.

Regards,
Sayali

Hi Sayali,
I have several notes about the patches:
1. New descriptors structures are redefinition of the descriptors info (see
definitions of  device_desc_param, unit_desc_param, etc in
drivers/scsi/ufs/ufs.h) 2. You didn't took into consideration the recently
added UFS sysfs infostructure.
3. The idea of passing the binary buffer as a string is a bit flawed and the
parser doesn't provide any protection against bad data (e.g just send the
string "100").
