[PATCH v4 1/1] scsi: ufs: core: Add support to notify userspace of UniPro QoS events
From: Can Guo
Date: Thu Mar 05 2026 - 06:14:21 EST
The UniPro stack manages to repair many potential Link problems without the
need to notify the Application Layer. Repair mechanisms of the stack
include L2 re-transmission and successful handling of PA_INIT.req.
Nevertheless, any successful repair sequence requires Link bandwidth that
is no longer vailable for the Application. Therefore, it may be useful for
an Application to understand how often such repair attempts are made.
The DME implements Quality of Service monitoring using a simple counting
scheme, counting error events and comparing them against the number of
correctly received or transmitted bytes. When the error counter exceeds a
programmed threshold before the byte counter overflows, a DME_QoS.ind is
issued to the Application and both counters are reset. When the byte
counter overflows before the error counter has reached the programmed
threshold, both counters are reset without triggering a DME_QoS.ind.
The DME provides Link quality monitoring for the following purposes:
1. Detection of re-occurring repaired fatal error conditions on the Link
(PA_INIT loop). This kind of detection is useful if capabilities
exchanged between local and peer permit a potential operation at a
higher M-PHY Gear, but the physical interconnect between local and peer
Device does not, or, after Line quality degradation, no longer satisfies
channel characteristics.
2. Detection of degraded inbound or outbound Link quality, to allow an
Application to issue an ADAPT sequence for a Link running in HS-G4 or
higher HS Gears. This kind of detection is used to monitor a slowly
degrading Link quality, e.g., one being affected by temperature and
voltage variations, against the expected M-PHY bit error rate.
Userspace can configure and enable UniPro QoS via UniPro QoS Attributes
(via UFS BSG) and get notified by dme_qos_notification without polling
UniPro QoS Status attribute. The dme_qos_notification attribute is a
bitfield with the following bit assignments:
Bit Description
=== ======================================
0 DME QoS Monitor has been reset by host
1 QoS from TX is detected
2 QoS from RX is detected
3 QoS from PA_INIT is detected
