Subject: scsi: ufs: fix race between clock gating and devfreq scaling work
From: Subhash Jadavani <subhashj@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 30fc33f1ef475480dc5bea4fe1bda84b003b992c upstream.
UFS devfreq clock scaling work may require clocks to be ON if it need to
execute some UFS commands hence it may request for clock hold before
issuing the command. But if UFS clock gating work is already running in
parallel, ungate work would end up waiting for the clock gating work to
finish and as clock gating work would also wait for the clock scaling
work to finish, we would enter in deadlock state. Here is the call trace
during this deadlock state:

This change fixes this deadlock by doing this in devfreq work (devfreq_wq):
Try cancelling clock gating work. If we are able to cancel gating work
or it wasn't scheduled, hold the clock reference count until scaling is
in progress. If gate work is already running in parallel, let's skip
the frequecy scaling at this time and it will be retried once next scaling
window expires.
