Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 6.17-6.1] scsi: ufs: host: mediatek: Change reset sequence for improved stability
Date: Sat, 25 Oct 2025 11:56:07 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251025160905.3857885-136-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251025160905.3857885-1-sashal@kernel.org>
From: Peter Wang <peter.wang@mediatek.com>
[ Upstream commit 878ed88c50bfb14d972dd3b86a1c8188c58de4e5 ]
Modify the reset sequence to ensure that the device reset pin is set low
before the host is disabled. This change enhances the stability of the
reset process by ensuring the correct order of operations.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:
YES
- What changed: In `drivers/ufs/host/ufs-mediatek.c:1257`, the reset
sequence in `ufs_mtk_device_reset()` currently disables the HBA before
asserting the device reset pin low:
- Calls `ufshcd_hba_stop(hba)` first (drivers/ufs/host/ufs-
mediatek.c:1261–1262).
- Then asserts reset low via `ufs_mtk_device_reset_ctrl(0, res)`
(drivers/ufs/host/ufs-mediatek.c:1264).
- Holds low for ≥10µs (drivers/ufs/host/ufs-mediatek.c:1273).
- Deasserts reset high (drivers/ufs/host/ufs-mediatek.c:1275) and
waits 10–15ms for device settle (drivers/ufs/host/ufs-
mediatek.c:1277–1278).
The new commit swaps the first two steps (assert reset low first, then
`ufshcd_hba_stop(hba)`), explicitly noting “disable hba in middle of
device reset”.
- Why it matters: This is a precise order-of-operations fix to a
hardware reset sequence. Asserting the device’s reset (RST_n active
low) before disabling the host controller avoids a race/ordering
hazard during reset, which can manifest as sporadic reset instability.
The risk window between asserting low and disabling the HBA is tiny
(immediately followed by `ufshcd_hba_stop()` and a 10–15µs hold), and
the device is already in reset during that window.
- Consistency within the driver: The driver already asserts reset
independently of HBA disable in other flows, e.g., on suspend when the
link is off it calls `ufs_mtk_device_reset_ctrl(0, res)` without a
preceding `ufshcd_hba_stop()` (drivers/ufs/host/ufs-
mediatek.c:1445–1449). The new ordering in `ufs_mtk_device_reset()`
makes the device-reset behavior consistent within the driver.
- Scope and risk:
- Change is small and contained to a single function
(`ufs_mtk_device_reset()`), no API or structural changes.
- No new features; it purely reorders two existing calls and updates a
comment.
- The function is invoked through the variant op hook
`vops->device_reset` (drivers/ufs/host/ufs-mediatek.c:1792–1803), so
the behavior change is localized to Mediatek platforms only.
- `ufshcd_hba_stop()` (drivers/ufs/core/ufshcd.c:4842–4854) simply
disables the controller and waits for it to quiesce; performing it
after the device is already in reset is benign and avoids mid-reset
interactions.
- User impact: Improves reset stability on Mediatek UFS hosts, which
affects error recovery and some power management transitions (device
reset is used by `ufshcd_device_reset()` in error handling;
drivers/ufs/core/ufshcd.c:726–742). This is a real-world reliability
fix rather than a feature.
- Stable criteria:
- Fixes a practical bug (unstable/fragile reset behavior) that can
affect users.
- Minimal, self-contained change with low regression risk.
- No architectural churn; confined to UFS Mediatek host driver.
- Although the commit message lacks “Fixes:”/“Cc: stable”, the change
meets stable rules as a targeted reliability fix in a vendor driver.
Given the above, this is a good candidate for backporting to stable
trees that ship the Mediatek UFS host driver.
