Hi Bart,

The UFS SCSI timeout handler was needed to compensate that
ufshcd_queuecommand() could return SCSI_MLQUEUE_HOST_BUSY for a long
time. Commit a276c19e3e98 ("scsi: ufs: Avoid busy-waiting by eliminating tag conflicts") fixed this so the timeout handler is no longer necessary.

See also commit f550c65b543b ("scsi: ufs: implement scsi host timeout handler").


Sorry for bugging you on this old change. I am afraid we may need to add
this timeout handler back. Because there is till chances that a request
gets stuck somewhere in ufshcd_queuecommand() path before
ufshcd_send_command() gets called. e.g.

ufshcd_queuecommand()
->ufshcd_map_sg()
-->scsi_dma_map()
--->dma_map_sg()
---->dev->ops->map_sg()

map_sg() ops may get stuck. map_sg() method can vary on different platforms based on actual IOMMU engines. We cannot gaurantee map_sg() ops must return
immediately as we don't know what is actually inside map_sg() ops.

And if it gets stuck there for a long time till the request times out, without the UFS timeout handler, scsi layer will try to abort this request from UFS driver by calling ufshcd_abort() eventually. ufshcd_abort() will think this request has been completed due to its tag is not in hba->outstanding_reqs
or UFS host's door bell reg. However, actually, this request is still in
ufshcd_queuecommand() path. I don't need to continue on the subsequent impact to UFS driver if ufshcd_abort() happens in this case. This is a corner case,
but it is still possible (I did see map_sg() ops hangs on real devices).

Having the UFS timeout handler back will prevent this situation as UFS timeout handler checks if the tag is in hba->outstanding_reqs (for our case, it is not in there), if no, it returns BLK_EH_RESET_TIMER so that scsi/block layer will
keep waiting.

What do you think? Please let me know your ideas on this, thanks!

<--code snippet-->
static int ufshcd_abort(struct scsi_cmnd *cmd)
{
...
        reg = ufshcd_readl(hba, REG_UTP_TRANSFER_REQ_DOOR_BELL);
        /* If command is already aborted/completed, return SUCCESS */
        if (!(test_bit(tag, &hba->outstanding_reqs))) {
                dev_err(hba->dev,
"%s: cmd at tag %d already completed, outstanding=0x%lx, doorbell=0x%x\n",
                        __func__, tag, hba->outstanding_reqs, reg);
                goto out;
        }
...
}

Thanks,
