Subject: RE: [PATCH V2 1/4] scsi: ufs: Add exception event tracepoint

> 
> Currently, exception event status can be read from wExceptionEventStatus
> attribute (sysfs file attributes/exception_event_status under the UFS host
> controller device directory). Polling that attribute to track UFS exception
> events is impractical, so add a tracepoint to track exception events for
> testing and debugging purposes.
> 
> Note, by the time the exception event status is read, the exception event
> may have cleared, so the value can be zero - see example below.
> 
> Note also, only enabled exception events can be reported. A subsequent
> patch adds the ability for users to enable selected exception events via
> debugfs.

> Example with driver instrumented to enable all exception events:
