Sorry for misleading you to scsi_target_quiesce(), maybe below is 
better.

    shost_for_each_device(sdev, hba->host)
        scsi_device_quiesce(sdev);

We may need to discuss more about this quiesce part since I missed 
something.

After we quiesce the scsi devices, only PM requests are allowed, but it
is still not safe: [1] PM requests can still pass through, [2] there can
be tasks/reqs present in doorbells before the devices are quiesced. So,
these tasks/reqs in [1] and [2] can still be flying in parallel while
ufshcd_suspend is running.

How about only quiescing the UFS device well known scsi device but using
freeze_queue to the other scsi devices? blk_mq_freeze_queue can 
eliminate
the risks mentioned in [1] and [2].

     shost_for_each_device(sdev, hba->host) {
         if (sdev == hba->sdev_ufs_device)
              scsi_device_quiesce(sdev);
         else
              blk_mq_freeze_queue(sdev->request_queue);
     }

IF blk_mq_freeze_queue is not allowed to be used by LLD (I think we can
use it as I recalled Bart used to use it in one of his changes to UFS 
scaling),
we may need to make changes like below. [1] is to make sure no more PM 
requests
sent to scsi devices, [2] is make sure doorbells are cleared before 
invoke
ufshcd_suspend.

    shost_for_each_device(sdev, hba->host) {
        scsi_autopm_get_device(sdev); [1]
        scsi_device_quiesce(sdev);
    }

    ufshcd_wait_for_doorbell_clr(hba, U64_MAX); [2]

Please let me know your ideas, thanks!

Can Guo.
