Hi Can,

I know that this patch only moves the above code and that the above code
has not been introduced by this patch. Anyway, is my understanding
correct that ufshcd_err_handler() can change the host controller state
from UFSHCD_STATE_EH_SCHEDULED_FATAL into UFSHCD_STATE_RESET and next
into UFSHCD_STATE_OPERATIONAL? If so, if the above code completes a READ
with status DID_BAD_TARGET and if recovery by the error handler
succeeds, will that cause the filesystem above the UFS driver to change
into read-only mode? If the above code completes a WRITE with status
DID_BAD_TARGET, will that cause data corruption? Is there any other
solution to prevent data corruption than merging the
UFSHCD_STATE_EH_SCHEDULED_FATAL and UFSHCD_STATE_EH_SCHEDULED_NON_FATAL
back into a single state and changing the ufshcd_rpm_get_sync(hba) call
in ufshcd_err_handling_prepare() into a pm_runtime_get_noresume() call?

Thanks,

Bart.
