scsi: ufs: core: Revert "scsi: ufs: Synchronize SCSI and UFS error handling"
This reverts commit a113eaaf. There are a couple of issues with the commit: 1. It causes deadlocks. 2. It causes the shost->eh_cmd_q list of failed requests not to be processed, ever. So revert it. 1. Deadlocks The SCSI error handler runs with requests blocked beginning when scsi_schedule_eh() sets SHOST_RECOVERY state, continuing through scsi_error_handler() callback ->eh_strategy_handler() until scsi_restart_operations() is called. By setting eh_strategy_handler to ufshcd_err_handler, the patch changed the UFS error handler to run with requests blocked, including PM requests, for the entire run of the error handler. That conflicts with UFS error handler existing synchronization with UFS device PM operations. The UFS error handler synchronizes with runtime PM by doing pm_runtime_get_sync() prior to blocking requests itself. It synchronizes with system PM by use of hba->host_sem, again before blocking requests itself. However, if requests are already blocked, then PM operations will block. So: the UFS error handler blocks waiting on PM + PM blocks waiting on SCSI PM requests to process or fail + PM requests are blocked waiting on error handling to finish = deadlock This happens both for runtime PM and system PM. Prior to the patch, these deadlocks could not happen even if SCSI error handling was running, because the presence of requests in shost->eh_cmd_q would mean the queues could not be suspended, which would mean that, should the UFS error handler run at the same time, it would not need to wait for PM or vice versa. Please note these scenarios are not just theoretical, they were found during testing on a Samsung Galaxy Book S. 2. ->eh_strategy_handler() must process shost->eh_cmd_q list of failed requests, as all other eh_strategy_handler's do except UFS error handler. Refer for example: scsi_unjam_host(), ata_scsi_error() and sas_scsi_recover_host().
