Sure.

If a request using tag N is completed by UFS device without interrupt
notification till timeout happens, ufshcd_abort() will be invoked.

Since request completion flow is not executed, current status may be

- Tag N in hba->outstanding_reqs is set
- Tag N in doorbell register is not set

In this case, ufshcd_abort() flow would be

- This log is printed: "ufshcd_abort: cmd was completed, but without a
notifying intr, tag = N"
- This log is printed: "ufshcd_abort: Device abort task at tag N"
- If hba->req_abort_skip is zero, QUERY_TASK command is sent
- Device responds "UPIU_TASK_MANAGEMENT_FUNC_COMPL"
- This log is printed: "ufshcd_abort: cmd at tag N not pending in the
device."
- Doorbell tells that tag N is not set, so the driver goes to label
"out" with this log printed: "ufshcd_abort: cmd at tag %d successfully
cleared from DB."
- In label "out" section, no cleanup will be made, and then ufshcd_abort
exits
- This request will be re-queued to request queue by SCSI timeout
handler

Now, Inconsistent state shows-up: A request is "re-queued" but its
corresponding resource in UFS layer is not cleared, below flow will
trigger bad things,

- A new request with tag M is finished
- Interrupt is raised and ufshcd_transfer_req_compl() found both tag N
and M can process the completion flow
- The post-processing flow for tag N will be executed while its request
is still alive

I am sorry that below messages are only for old kernel in non-blk-mq
case. However above scenario will also trigger bad thing in blk-mq case.
