Hi Stanley,

Sorry for the noises, please ignore my previous 2 mails and let's
focus on this one.

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 - PM requests can still pass through.

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 risk.

     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 can use scsi_remove_device instead, it changes scsi device's state to
SDEV_DEL and calls blk_cleanup_queue.

We can also use scsi_autopm_get_device like below. It is to make sure
no more PM requests sent to scsi devices (since PM requests are only 
sent
during PM ops).

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

Please let me know which one do you prefer or if you have better ideas, 
thanks!

Regards,

Can Guo.
