o Queue eh_work on a single threaded workqueue to avoid concurrency between

Please use another approach (mutex?) to serialize error handling. There are
already way too workqueues in a running Linux system.

o According to the UFSHCI JEDEC spec, hibern8 enter/exit error occurs when
  the link is broken. This actaully applies to any power mode change
operations. In this change, if a power mode change operation (including AH8 enter/exit) fails, mark the link state as UIC_LINK_BROKEN_STATE and schedule eh_work. eh_work needs to do full reset and restore to recover the link back to active. Before the link state is recovered to active by eh_work, any power mode change attempts just return -ENOLINK to avoid
  consecutive HW error.

o To avoid concurrency between eh_work and link recovery, remove link
recovery from hibern8 enter/exit func. If hibern8 enter/exit func fails,
  simply return error code and let eh_work run in parallel.

o Recover UFS hba runtime PM error in eh_work. If ufschd_suspend/resume fails due to UFS error, e.g. hibern8 enter/exit error and SSU cmd error,
  the runtime PM framework saves the error to dev.power.runtime_error.
After that, hba runtime suspend/resume would not be invoked anymore until dev.power.runtime_error is cleared. The runtime PM error can be recovered in eh_work by calling pm_runtime_set_active() after reset and restore succeeds. Meanwhile, if pm_runtime_set_active() returns no error, which
  means dev.power.runtime_error is cleared, we also need to explicitly
resume those scsi devices under hba in case any of them has failed to be
  resumed due to hba runtime resume error.

o Fix a racing problem between eh_work and ufshcd_suspend/resume. In the
  old code, it blocks scsi requests before schedules eh_work, but when
eh_work calls pm_runtime_get_sync(), if ufshcd_suspend/resume is sending a scsi cmd, most likely the SSU cmd, pm_runtime_get_sync() will never return because scsi requests were blocked. To fix this racing problem,
  o Don't block scsi requests before schedule eh_work, but let eh_work
    block scsi requests when eh_work is ready to start error recovery.
o Meanwhile, if eh_work is schueduled due to fatal error, don't requeue the scsi cmds sent from ufshcd_suspend/resume path, but simply let the scsi cmds fail. If the scsi cmds fail, hba runtime suspend/resume fails
    too, but it does hurt since eh_work recovers hba runtime PM error.

o Move host/regs dump in ufshcd_check_errors() to eh_work because heavy dump in IRQ context can lead to stability issues. In addition, some clean
  up in ufshcd_print_host_regs() and ufshcd_print_host_state().

The above list is a long list. To me that is a sign that this patch needs to
be split into multiple patches.

Thanks,

Bart.

Sure, will split it into a few patches.

Thanks,

Can Guo.
