The Address Range Scrub implementation tried to skip running scrubs
against ranges that were already scrubbed by the BIOS. Unfortunately
that support also resulted in early scrub completions as evidenced by
this debug output from nfit_test:
nd_region region9: ARS: range 1 short complete
nd_region region3: ARS: range 1 short complete
nd_region region4: ARS: range 2 ARS start (0)
nd_region region4: ARS: range 2 short complete
...i.e. completions without any indications that the scrub was started.
This state of affairs was hard to see in the code due to the
proliferation of state bits and mistakenly trying to track done state
per-range when the completion is a global property of the bus.
So, kill the four ARS state bits (ARS_REQ, ARS_REQ_REDO, ARS_DONE, and
ARS_SHORT), and replace them with just 2 request flags ARS_REQ_SHORT and
ARS_REQ_LONG. The implementation will still complete and reap the
results of BIOS initiated ARS, but it will not attempt to use that
information to affect the completion status of scrubbing the ranges from
a Linux perspective.
Instead, try to synchronously run a short ARS per range at init time and
schedule a long scrub in the background. If ARS is busy with an ARS
request, schedule both a short and a long scrub for when ARS returns to
idle. This logic also satisfies the intent of what ARS_REQ_REDO was
trying to achieve. The new rule is that the REQ flag stays set until the
next successful ars_start() for that range.
With the new policy that the REQ flags are not cleared until the next
start, the implementation no longer loses requests as can be seen from
the following log:
nd_region region3: ARS: range 1 ARS start short (0)
nd_region region9: ARS: range 1 ARS start short (0)
nd_region region3: ARS: range 1 complete
nd_region region4: ARS: range 2 ARS start short (0)
nd_region region9: ARS: range 1 complete
nd_region region9: ARS: range 1 ARS start long (0)
nd_region region4: ARS: range 2 complete
nd_region region3: ARS: range 1 ARS start long (0)
nd_region region9: ARS: range 1 complete
nd_region region3: ARS: range 1 complete
nd_region region4: ARS: range 2 ARS start long (0)
nd_region region4: ARS: range 2 complete
...note that the nfit_test emulated driver provides 2 buses, that is why
some of the range indices are duplicated. Notice that each range
now successfully completes a short and long scrub.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
