Hi Bean,

By pending tasks here, it means the requests sent down from scsi/block 
layer,
but have not yet been handled by ufs driver(cmd->scsi_done() have not 
been called yet for these requests).
For these requests, although removed by host and UFS device in their HW 
queues(doorbell),
UFS driver still needs to complete them from SW side(call 
cmd->scsi_done() for each one of them) to
let upper layer know that they are finished(although not successfully) 
to avoid hitting
timeout of these pending tasks. I hope I make my explanation clearly.

Best Regards,
Can Guo.
