Fatal error in OCS(overall command status) field indicates

It means that host cannot define the result of command status

response and status field.
It was actually found that 'CHECK CONDITION' is stored in status
field of UPIU where OCS is 'FATAL ERROR'.
It looks like you are assuming that there will be some kind of response
from the device. But the spec. mentions - "OCS_FATAL ERROR: within host
controller that is not covered by the error conditions described above
in this table."
Yes, error interrupt doesn't happen actually.

So spec. left everything to implementers on how to trigger this error.
Also, it says "within host controller" so ufshcd_is_valid_req_rsp()
might fail as well.

I couldn't understand why there is a need for a host controller to
interpret the SCSI command status and raise an OCS_FATAL_ERROR?
I feel like OCS values are related to syntax problem except OCS_FATAL_ERROR.
Basically, host controller may need to refer the Response field[Target Success/Target Failure] of
response UPIU.
It's a overall result from response UPIU.
When Response field is 'Target Failure', if host controller updates the OCS field with 'SUCCESS',
it's not proper behavior.
In this case host may refer the Status field of response UPIU to decide the OCS result.
Of course, it's not clear thing and could depends on host's implementation,
because there is no obvious description for that.
But if we consider the way to report UTP error from UFSHCI 8.2.4,
we can check the Response UPIU for more detailed error condition regardless OCS value.
Could you check your host side?
This is what our host documentation says: " SW may check the contents of
Response UPIU when OCS !=0 for debug purposes. It may (or may not) help
to understand the error scenario better. This is needed only for debug.
When system is stable, OCS should be 0." So this clearly means that we
shouldn't rely on the response UPIU if the OCS is non-zero hence simply
ignore it.
Isn't  there any description for FATAL ERROR of OCS?
Can I take like below?
Even though Response field is 'Target Failure', OCS field can get a success result.
Yes, that's true. OCS could give success result for response field can be 'Target Failure'
I just has focused what spec. says below:
- FATAL ERROR within host controller that is not covered by the error conditions described above in this table.
- The field contains the status code for the request.
-  Host software may need to check Transfer Response UPIU's Response, and possibly Sense Data to find out more details for the cause of the error.
Because host doesn't know and decide the error status, host could need to check.
No, i don't think it should be interpreted to read the response UPIU when OCS is equal to FATAL ERROR.

  > "When Response field is 'Target Failure', if host controller updates

I doubt whether your above understanding is true from Host controller
specification point of view. Host controller would not decode the
“Response” field of the “response UPIU”, it would only decode the
“Transaction Type” & “Task Tag” (and may be “LUN”) from the response
UPIU in order to find out the correct slot in the transfer/task request
list. Even 7.3.2.3 in UFSHCI spec also mentions the same.

I guess with this i don't see a need for this patch unless you feel
otherwise.
It may depend on host's implementation. HCI spec. doesn't guide for OCS in detail.
Anyway, it's not clear just now.

If it is clarified by the spec. then we can have generic implementation
otherwise I would prefer to make this specific to those host controllers
that raise OCS_FATAL_ERROR for CHECK_CONDITION.

I don't see the response UPIU data of the last command response is
cleared anywhere in the driver. This means its quite possible that if
the current command failed (and if it is using the same tag as the last
succeeded command) with the OCS_FATAL_ERROR then response UPIU (pointed
by lrbp->ucd_rsp_ptr) content may be still the same as the last one. If
we ensure to clear the response UPIU data after every command completion
then only we can rely on the response  UPIU content in case of fatal
errors.
