Changelog:
v2--v3:
  1. Change multi-line comments style in patch 1/3 (Can Guo)

v1--v2:
  1. Take is_hibern8_wb_flush checkup out from function
     ufshcd_wb_need_flush() in patch 2/3
  2. Add UFSHCD_CAP_CLK_SCALING checkup in patch 1/3. that means
     only for the platform, which doesn't support UFSHCD_CAP_CLK_SCALING,
     can control WB through "wb_on".

Bean Huo (3):
  scsi: ufs: Add "wb_on" sysfs node to control WB on/off
  scsi: ufs: Keep device active mode only
    fWriteBoosterBufferFlushDuringHibernate == 1
  scsi: ufs: Changes comment in the function ufshcd_wb_probe()

Currently UFS WriteBooster driver uses clock scaling up/down to set
WB on/off, for the platform which doesn't support UFSHCD_CAP_CLK_SCALING,
WB will be always on. Provide a sysfs attribute to enable/disable WB
during runtime. Write 1/0 to "wb_on" sysfs node to enable/disable UFS WB.

From: Bean Huo <beanhuo@micron.com>

According to the JEDEC UFS 3.1 Spec, If fWriteBoosterBufferFlushDuringHibernate
is set to one, the device flushes the WriteBooster Buffer data automatically
whenever the link enters the hibernate (HIBERN8) state. While the flushing
operation is in progress, the device should be kept in Active power mode.
Currently, we set this flag during the UFSHCD probe stage, but we didn't deal
with its programming failure. Even this failure is less likely to occur, but
still it is possible.
This patch is to add checkup of fWriteBoosterBufferFlushDuringHibernate setting,
keep the device as "active power mode" only when this flag be successfully set
to 1.

USFHCD supports WriteBooster "LU dedicated buffer” mode and
“shared buffer” mode both, so changes the comment in the
function ufshcd_wb_probe().

How about reading it on every ufshcd_wb_need_flush?

Hi Avri
I was using that way, no different from the current my way. Instead,
reading on every time will add some delay. As long as the UFS device
returns the successful, we assume that this flag has been properly
set.  so, just keeping is_hibern8_wb_flush if set, I think it is
enough.

Thanks,
Bean

Hi, Can and Stanley
Please review this patch, and leave your comments.
or if you look good, leave your review-tag, in order that Martin can
accept this series patch easily.

Right.
But it is a small price, and you no longer need to worry about rare error event.
Also adding an if (fWriteBoosterBufferFlushDuringHibernate == 1) will allow some more flexibility,
e.g. shutting it off from user-space (ufs-utils), unlike today,
that it is categorically on for all platforms / devices.

Anyway, if you decided to add new capability,
Preferable to do it in a different series.

Thanks,
Avri

Hi Avri
Thanks. This reminds me that ufs-bsg is a latent defect. Currently,
userspace can pass any raw UPIU commands to the UFS through ufs-bsg,
ufs-bsg is a pass-through channel. So,
fWriteBoosterBufferFlushDuringHibernate is not the only one in the
ufshcd.c can be changed by ufs-utils. any flags in the UFS can be
changed by user-space tool after UFS finishing its initialization.


This modification after the fact (Linux initialization/probe itself) is
not legal. I remembered we discussed this on the eMMC case, the same
with here that, user can change some parameters in the eMMC through
eMMC Ioctl, the user feels great, but they did a wrong thing.


Ulf Hansson: "I don't think it's worth to compensate and try
to act accordingly to cover cases when userspace has messed up."



thanks,
Bean
