Hi Bart,

But ufshcd_scsi_block_requests usage is correct in SDR mode.
So, I don't think it is ufshcd_scsi_block_requests bug. 
Actually. this bug is triggered by this patch.
8d077ede48c1 ("scsi: ufs: core: scsi: ufs: Optimize the command
queueing code")
Which after ufshcd_scsi_block_requests, ufs cannot make sure ongoing
request 
is all completed by ufshcd_wait_for_doorbell_clr.
That is means, it is ufshcd_wait_for_doorbell_clr bug.

So, I think ufshcd_wait_for_doorbell_clr should be revise.
Check tr_doorbell in SDR mode. (before 8d077ede48c1 do) 
Check each HWQ's are all empty in MCQ mode. (need think how to do)
Make sure all requests is complete, and finish this function' job
correctly. 
Or there still have a gap in ufshcd_wait_for_doorbell_clr.
And someday somebody's patch may stepping into it in the future.

Thanks.
Peter
