I don't understand this comment. gate_work and ungate_work are queued on
an ordered workqueue and an ordered workqueue executes at most one work item
at any given time in the queued order. How can the two run in parallel?

When I hit UFS stuck, I saw this by clkgating tracepoint.

- REQ_CLK_OFF
- CLKS_OFF
- REQ_CLK_OFF
- REQ_CLKS_ON
..


I don't see how can you tell that the two works are running in parallel
just from above trace. May I know what is the exact error by "UFS timeout
when doing hibern8"?

By using __ufshcd_release() here, I do see one potential issue if your test
quickly toggles on/off of clk_gating - disable it, enable it, disable it and
enable it, which will cause that __ufshcd_release() being called twice, meaning
we queue two gate_works back to back. So can you try below code and let me know
if it helps or not? I am OK with your current change, but I would like to
understand the problem. Thanks.

By using active_req, I don't see any problem.


Thanks,
