This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled scsi: ufs: qcom: Perform read back after writing unipro mode to the 5.10-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: scsi-ufs-qcom-perform-read-back-after-writing-unipro.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.10 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 049e25bde748ce8c3b34ad22ee1101735921a8eb Author: Andrew Halaney <ahalaney@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri Mar 29 15:46:46 2024 -0500 scsi: ufs: qcom: Perform read back after writing unipro mode [ Upstream commit 823150ecf04f958213cf3bf162187cd1a91c885c ] Currently, the QUNIPRO_SEL bit is written to and then an mb() is used to ensure that completes before continuing. mb() ensures that the write completes, but completion doesn't mean that it isn't stored in a buffer somewhere. The recommendation for ensuring this bit has taken effect on the device is to perform a read back to force it to make it all the way to the device. This is documented in device-io.rst and a talk by Will Deacon on this can be seen over here: https://youtu.be/i6DayghhA8Q?si=MiyxB5cKJXSaoc01&t=1678 But, there's really no reason to even ensure completion before continuing. The only requirement here is that this write is ordered to this endpoint (which readl()/writel() guarantees already). For that reason the mb() can be dropped altogether without anything forcing completion.
