Please review with care as I'm not all that confident in this subject. UFS has a lot of mb() variants used, most with comments saying "ensure this takes effect before continuing". mb()'s aren't really the way to guarantee that, a read back is the best method. Some of these though I think could go a step further and remove the mb() variant without a read back. As far as I can tell there's no real reason to ensure it takes effect in most cases (there's no delay() or anything afterwards, and eventually another readl()/writel() happens which is by definition ordered). Some of the patches in this series do that if I was confident it was safe (or a reviewer pointed out prior that they thought it was safe to do so).

After some consideration I agree. Therefore I'd appreciate re-review on those patches by you three to make sure that's appropriate - Link to v3: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20231221-ufs-reset-ensure-effect-before-delay-v3-0-2195a1b66d2e@redhat.com Changes in v3: - Nothing changed, I just failed to send with b4 (resulting in 2 half sent v2 series on list) - Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/pnwsdz3i2liivjxvtfwq6tijotgh5adyqipjjb5wdvo4jpu7yv@j6fkshm5ipue Changes in v2: - Added review tags for original patch - Added new patches to address all other memory barriers used - Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20231208-ufs-reset-ensure-effect-before-delay-v1-1-8a0f82d7a09e@redhat.com --- Andrew Halaney (11): scsi: ufs: qcom: Perform read back after writing reset bit scsi: ufs: qcom: Perform read back after writing REG_UFS_SYS1CLK_1US scsi: ufs: qcom: Remove unnecessary mb() after writing testbus config scsi: ufs: qcom: Perform read back after writing unipro mode scsi: ufs: qcom: Perform read back after writing CGC enable scsi: ufs: cdns-pltfrm: Perform read back after writing HCLKDIV scsi: ufs: core: Perform read back after writing UTP_TASK_REQ_LIST_BASE_H scsi: ufs: core: Perform read back after disabling interrupts scsi: ufs: core: Perform read back after disabling UIC_COMMAND_COMPL scsi: ufs: core: Remove unnecessary wmb() after ringing doorbell scsi: ufs: core: Remove unnecessary wmb() prior to writing run/stop regs drivers/ufs/core/ufshcd.c | 15 +++------------ drivers/ufs/host/cdns-pltfrm.c | 2 +- drivers/ufs/host/ufs-qcom.c | 12 ++---------- drivers/ufs/host/ufs-qcom.h | 12 ++++++------ 4 files changed, 12 insertions(+), 29 deletions(-) --- base-commit: 26074e1be23143b2388cacb36166766c235feb7c change-id: 20231208-ufs-reset-ensure-effect-before-delay-6e06899d5419 Best regards,
