[PATCH v3 1/2] scsi: ufs: core: Avoid unsafe MMIO reads in ufshcd_mcq_compl_all_cqes_lock()

From: Stanley Jhu

Date: Sun Sep 27 2026 - 23:59:36 EST


During MCQ host reset, ufshcd_host_reset_and_restore() stops the host
controller via ufshcd_hba_stop() (HCE = 0) before calling
ufshcd_complete_requests(hba, true) ->
ufshcd_mcq_compl_pending_transfer(hba, true) ->
ufshcd_mcq_force_compl_one() -> ufshcd_mcq_compl_all_cqes_lock().
Because ufshcd_mcq_force_compl_one() is its sole caller,
ufshcd_mcq_compl_all_cqes_lock() always runs with HCE = 0.

Despite the comment above ufshcd_mcq_compl_all_cqes_lock() stating that
reading CQTPy may not be safe with the controller disabled, the function
still calls ufshcd_mcq_update_cq_tail_slot() at the end of its sweep:

1. Unsafe CQTPy MMIO read:
Calling ufshcd_mcq_update_cq_tail_slot() at the end of the sweep
reads CQTPy over MMIO while HCE = 0, directly contradicting the
function's documented contract (commit 1373df88d535 ("scsi: ufs:
core: Add a comment block above ufshcd_mcq_compl_all_cqes_lock()"))
that reading CQTPy may not be safe with the controller disabled.

2. Spurious error logs on empty slots:
Sweeping all max_entries slots visits empty entries where
command_desc_base_addr is 0, causing ufshcd_mcq_process_cqe() to log
unguarded dev_err(hba->dev, "Abnormal CQ entry!\n") messages.

Fix both issues in ufshcd_mcq_compl_all_cqes_lock():
- Remove the ufshcd_mcq_update_cq_tail_slot() call and the redundant
hwq->cq_head_slot = hwq->cq_tail_slot assignment without
replacement. The two indices are already equal after the sweep: they
are equal when the sweep starts, since ufshcd_mcq_poll_cqe_lock()
consumes entries until cq_head_slot reaches cq_tail_slot, and the
sweep advances cq_head_slot by exactly one full ring. Both indices
are also reinitialized before the queue is reused.
- Extract ufshcd_mcq_compl_cqe() and invoke it only on non-empty slots
during full-ring sweeps, keeping "Abnormal CQ entry!" logging strictly
for unexpected empty entries in ufshcd_mcq_poll_cqe_lock().
