Hi Martin,
In the traces we recorded while testing zoned storage we noticed that UFS commands are requeued while the clock is being ungated. Command requeueing makes it harder than necessary to preserve the command order. Hence this patch series that modifies the SCSI core and also the UFS driver such that clock ungating does not trigger command requeueing.
Please consider this patch series for the next merge window.
Thanks,
Bart.
Changes compared to v3: - Added a patch that removes two duplicate declarations.
Changes compared to v2: - Only enable BLK_MQ_F_BLOCKING if clock gating is supported. - Introduce flag queuecommand_may_block in both the SCSI host and SCSI host template data structures.
Changes compared to v1: - Dropped patch "scsi: ufs: core: Unexport ufshcd_hold() and ufshcd_release()". - Removed a ufshcd_scsi_block_requests() / ufshcd_scsi_unblock_requests() pair from patch "scsi: ufs: Ungate the clock synchronously".
