Reading host controller registers (such as CQTP) is unsafe when the
host controller is disabled (HCE = 0), as accessing registers in an
unclocked or reset state can cause bus stalls and system hangs.
In ufshcd_mcq_compl_all_cqes_lock(), all completion queue entries have
already been inspected, processed, and cleared in memory, so the
software queue is logically empty.
Avoid the unsafe MMIO read of CQTP by synchronizing hwq->cq_tail_slot
directly to hwq->cq_head_slot in software. Upon subsequent controller
re-initialization, ufshcd_mcq_make_queues_operational() will
reconfigure and re-zero all queue pointers.

During Multi-Circular Queue (MCQ) error recovery and host reset,
ufshcd_mcq_compl_pending_transfer() sweeps or polls completion queues to
reap pending transfers. Two bugs exist in this path:
1. Unsafe MMIO read and spurious errors while HCE = 0 (Patch 1/2):
ufshcd_host_reset_and_restore() stops the controller (HCE = 0) before
calling ufshcd_mcq_compl_all_cqes_lock(). 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 own
documented contract that reading host controller registers is unsafe
when the controller is disabled. In addition, passing expected empty
slots during a full-ring sweep into ufshcd_mcq_process_cqe() prints
spurious "Abnormal CQ entry!" errors.
2. Redundant per-request CQ sweeps and polls (Patch 2/2):
ufshcd_mcq_compl_pending_transfer() runs hardware queue completion
sweeps (force_compl == true) or CQTPy polls (force_compl == false)
inside blk_mq_tagset_busy_iter() callbacks, repeating whole-queue
operations once per busy request instead of once per hardware queue.
Patch 1/2 synchronizes hwq->cq_tail_slot = hwq->cq_head_slot in software
and extracts ufshcd_mcq_compl_cqe() so full-ring sweeps skip empty slots
silently. Patch 2/2 sweeps or polls each hardware queue once before
iterating residual requests and removes ufshcd_mcq_compl_one().
Changes since v1:
- Split into a two-patch series separating ring sweep safety from
per-request tagset iteration.
- Extract ufshcd_mcq_compl_cqe() to skip empty slots without double CQE
checks (dropped Peter Wang's v1 Reviewed-by due to this change).
- Decouple hardware queue polling/sweeping for both force_compl paths
and remove ufshcd_mcq_compl_one().
Tested: Verified MCQ host reset, I/O completion, and queue pointer
integrity on QEMU ARM64 without MMIO aborts or spurious error logs.

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():
- Synchronize hwq->cq_tail_slot = hwq->cq_head_slot in software after
sweeping the ring, avoiding CQTPy MMIO reads while HCE = 0.
- 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().

- Move hardware queue polling and sweeping deduplication to Patch 2/2.

In MCQ mode, ufshcd_mcq_compl_pending_transfer() uses
blk_mq_tagset_busy_iter() to iterate over busy requests during error
recovery and host reset. However, both iterator callbacks perform
whole-queue operations redundantly for each visited request:
- force_compl == true: ufshcd_mcq_force_compl_one() calls
ufshcd_mcq_compl_all_cqes_lock() on every busy request, sweeping the
entire completion ring (hwq->max_entries slots) once per active
request under spin_lock_irqsave even though the first sweep already
cleared all completion entries.
- force_compl == false: ufshcd_mcq_compl_one() acquires cq_lock and
polls CQTPy over MMIO via ufshcd_mcq_poll_cqe_lock() for every busy
request without doing any per-request work.
Sweep or poll each hardware queue (hba->uhq[i]) once at the start of
ufshcd_mcq_compl_pending_transfer(). When force_compl is true, run
blk_mq_tagset_busy_iter() afterward to complete residual in-flight
requests with DID_REQUEUE, and remove the now-unused
ufshcd_mcq_compl_one() callback.

Forcibly completing SCSI commands from inside the UFS SCSI host reset
error handling callback is incompatible with the SCSI core error
handler. The "force_compl" behavior should be removed instead of
reworking it. If you take a look at the SDB (single doorbell) code you
will see that forcibly completing requests doesn't happen for SDB mode.

ufshcd_mcq_compl_all_cqes_lock() is only used to forcibly complete UFS
commands. The UFS driver should not forcibly complete UFS commands from
inside its error handler. Please remove the
ufshcd_mcq_compl_all_cqes_lock() function.
Thanks,
Bart.
