I don't see how can you tell that the two works are running in parallel
just from above trace. May I know what is the exact error by "UFS timeout
when doing hibern8"?

By using __ufshcd_release() here, I do see one potential issue if your test
quickly toggles on/off of clk_gating - disable it, enable it, disable it and
enable it, which will cause that __ufshcd_release() being called twice,
meaning
we queue two gate_works back to back. So can you try below code and let me
know
if it helps or not? I am OK with your current change, but I would like to
understand the problem. Thanks.

This doesn't help. So, I checked this back again, and, like what you said, now
suspect __ufshcd_release() which changed state to REQ_CLKS_OFF on CLKS_OFF.


Aha, sorry that I gave the right analysis but wrong fix - my check won't help
since it is checking CLKS_OFF, but at that moment it has become CLKS_REQ_OFF.
Your fix is fulfiling the right purpose.

Thanks,

Can Guo.


With the below change, I can see the issue anymore. Let me send v4.
