ufshcd_disable_auto_bkops(9)

hey bestie 💖 you're on the ufshcd_disable_auto_bkops(9) page in the Kernel API Manual. yes, we're talking UFS host controller business, and no, it's not scary once you get the vibe. let's get into it ✨

✨ NAME ✨

ufshcd_disable_auto_bkops — block the device from doing background operations. that's the whole name, and it's literally giving “hold up, BKOPS, not right now” 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int ufshcd_disable_auto_bkops (struct ufs_hba *hba );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• hba — the per-adapter instance. that's your handle for this specific UFS host bus adapter, bestie 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so disabling background operations? it improves command response latency, which is lowkey iconic for speed. but there's a drawback, and it is not cute: the device can move into a critical state where the device is not-operable. 😭

so fr fr, make sure to call ufshcd_enable_auto_bkops whenever the host is idle. that way BKOPS are managed effectively without any negative impacts. it's giving responsible main character energy 👑

bestie, do not forget the ufshcd_enable_auto_bkops call when the host is idle — the manpage says so directly, and the critical-state warning is real. ⚠️

🌈 RETURN 🌈

• 0 — success, we love to see it ✨
• > 0 — the UFS device reported an OCS error 😬
• < 0 — another error occurred 💀
