To protect system suspend/resume from being disturbed by error handling,
instead of using host_sem, let error handler call lock_system_sleep() and
unlock_system_sleep() which achieve the same purpose. Remove the host_sem
used in suspend/resume paths to make the code more readable.

It looks to me like the system takes this lock quite early, even before
freezing tasks, so if anything needs the error handler to run it will
deadlock.

Hi Adrian,

UFS/hba system suspend/resume does not invoke or call error handling in a
synchronous way. So, whatever UFS errors (which schedules the error handler)
happens during suspend/resume, error handler will just wait here till system
suspend/resume release the lock. Hence no worries of deadlock here.

It looks to me like the state can change to UFSHCD_STATE_EH_SCHEDULED_FATAL
and since user processes are not frozen, nor file systems sync'ed, everything
is going to deadlock.
i.e.
I/O is blocked waiting on error handling
error handling is blocked waiting on lock_system_sleep()
suspend is blocked waiting on I/O


Hi Adrian,

First of all, enter_state(suspend_state_t state) uses mutex_trylock(&system_transition_mutex).
Second, even that happens, in ufshcd_queuecommand(), below logic will break the cycle, by
fast failing the PM request (below codes are from the code tip with this whole series applied).

case UFSHCD_STATE_EH_SCHEDULED_FATAL:
/*
* ufshcd_rpm_get_sync() is used at error handling preparation
* stage. If a scsi cmd, e.g., the SSU cmd, is sent from the
* PM ops, it can never be finished if we let SCSI layer keep
* retrying it, which gets err handler stuck forever. Neither
* can we let the scsi cmd pass through, because UFS is in bad
* state, the scsi cmd may eventually time out, which will get
* err handler blocked for too long. So, just fail the scsi cmd
* sent from PM ops, err handler can recover PM error anyways.

if (cmd->request->rq_flags & RQF_PM) {
hba->force_reset = true;
