Subject: [PATCH] mmc: core: Avoid bitfield RMW for claim/retune flags
Move claimed and retune control flags out of the bitfield word to
avoid unrelated RMW side effects in asynchronous contexts.
The host->claimed bit shared a word with retune flags. Writes to claimed
in __mmc_claim_host() or retune_now in mmc_mq_queue_rq() can overwrite
other bits when concurrent updates happen in other contexts, triggering
spurious WARN_ON(!host->claimed). Convert claimed, can_retune,
retune_now and retune_paused to bool to remove shared-word coupling.
Fixes: 6c0cedd1ef952 ("mmc: core: Introduce host claiming by context")
Fixes: 1e8e55b67030c ("mmc: block: Add CQE support")

[ Upstream commit fefdd3c91e0a7b3cbb3f25925d93a57c45cb0f31 ]
The mmc_hw|sw_reset() APIs are designed to be called solely from upper
layers, which means drivers that operates on top of the struct mmc_card,
like the mmc block device driver and an SDIO functional driver.
Additionally, as long as the struct mmc_host has a valid pointer to a
struct mmc_card, the corresponding host->bus_ops pointer stays valid and
assigned.
For these reasons, let's drop the superfluous reference counting and the
redundant validations in mmc_hw|sw_reset().

From: Ulf Hansson <ulf.hansson@linaro.org>
[ Upstream commit e9ce2ce17da626d930812199568bd426b2832f57 ]
When the mmc_rescan work is enabled for execution (host->rescan_disable),
it's the only instance per mmc host that is allowed to set/clear the
host->bus_ops pointer.
Besides the mmc_rescan work, there are a couple of scenarios when the
host->bus_ops pointer may be accessed. Typically, those can be described as
as below:
*)
Upper mmc driver layers (like the mmc block device driver or an SDIO
functional driver) needs to execute a host->bus_ops callback. This can be
considered as safe without having to use some special locking mechanism,
because they operate on top of the struct mmc_card. As long as there is a
card to operate upon, the mmc core guarantees that there is a host->bus_ops
assigned as well. Note that, upper layer mmc drivers are of course
responsible to clean up from themselves from their ->remove() callbacks,
otherwise things would fall apart anyways.
**)
Via the mmc host instance, we may need to force a removal of an inserted
mmc card. This happens when a mmc host driver gets unbind, for example. In
this case, we protect the host->bus_ops pointer from concurrent accesses,
by disabling the mmc_rescan work upfront (host->rescan_disable). See
mmc_stop_host() for example.
This said, it seems like the reference counting of the host->bus_ops
pointer at some point have become superfluous. As this is an old mechanism
of the mmc core, it a bit difficult to digest the history of when that
could have happened. However, let's drop the reference counting to avoid
unnecessary code-paths and lockings.
