[PATCH] scsi: ufs: core: increase the NOP_OUT command timeout

[PATCH] scsi: ufs: core: increase the NOP_OUT command timeout

[DooHyun Hwang]

It is found that is UFS device may take longer than 500ms(50ms * 10times)
to respond to NOP_OUT command.

The NOP_OUT command timeout was total 500ms that is from
a timeout value of 50ms(defined by NOP_OUT_TIMEOUT)
with 10 retries(defined by NOP_OUT_RETRIES)

This change increase the NOP_OUT command timeout to total 1000ms
by changing timeout value to 100ms(NOP_OUT_TIMEOUT)

The above change relies on all device management commands being issued
with the same tag. If a single NOP OUT command may take longer than
500 ms, shouldn't NOP_OUT_TIMEOUT be increased to 1000 ms instead of
100 ms? The number of NOP OUT retries seems high to me and probably can
be reduced?

Thanks,

Bart.

I want to keep sending NOP_OUT commands repeatedly to get a response
from the UFS device, as per the existing method. To accommodate this method,
I propose increasing the total timeout duration by increasing the single timeout
value(defined by NOP_OUT_TIMEOUT) from 50ms to 100ms rather than
increasing the timeout value(defined by NOP_OUT_TIMEOUT) from 50ms to 1000ms
or increasing the retry count value(defined by NOP_OUT_RETRIES).

This is time measurement log confirmed on a real device with NOP_OUT_TIMEOUT is 100ms

1. normal operation
[    2.010156] [6:  kworker/u18:0:   76] ufshcd-qcom 1d84000.ufshc: [TEST] ufshcd_verify_dev_init: takes 1271 us, retries = 1 * 100ms.

2. issued log : exceeds 500ms
[    2.524525] [6:  kworker/u17:2:  141] ufshcd-qcom 1d84000.ufshc: [TEST] ufshcd_verify_dev_init: takes 533000 us, retries = 6 * 100ms.

And a certain UFS vendor has confirmed that the response to NOP_OUT command
can be delayed by up to 540ms in certain circumstances on a specific model.

BR,
Thank you.

Thank you for having provided all this additional information. Because

Why not edit hba->nop_out_timeout in the .init vop?
Like some vendors already do.

Thank you for your suggestion.
I'll fix that in .init vop as you said.

And I'll reject this patch.

Hi DooHyun Hwang,
Since this is a common issue that multiple platform vendors have to fix 
in their vops, should we fix it in the common code instead?

This is already set to rejected state on patchwork.
Anyway, thank you for the review.

I thought it would be efficient to fix it in the common code.
I don't know which UFS devices have the same problem.

Thank you.
