linux-stable.git/drivers/usb/core, branch linux-2.6.36.y Linux kernel stable tree usb: Realloc xHCI structures after a hub is verified. 2011-02-17T22:47:32+00:00 Sarah Sharp sarah.a.sharp@linux.intel.com 2010-12-23T19:12:42+00:00 cc402387cc7fdb826b193994051dad64cdf6377b commit 653a39d1f61bdc9f277766736d21d2e9be0391cb upstream. When there's an xHCI host power loss after a suspend from memory, the USB core attempts to reset and verify the USB devices that are attached to the system. The xHCI driver has to reallocate those devices, since the hardware lost all knowledge of them during the power loss. When a hub is plugged in, and the host loses power, the xHCI hardware structures are not updated to say the device is a hub. This is usually done in hub_configure() when the USB hub is detected. That function is skipped during a reset and verify by the USB core, since the core restores the old configuration and alternate settings, and the hub driver has no idea this happened. This bug makes the xHCI host controller reject the enumeration of low speed devices under the resumed hub. Therefore, make the USB core re-setup the internal xHCI hub device information by calling update_hub_device() when hub_activate() is called for a hub reset resume. After a host power loss, all devices under the roothub get a reset-resume or a disconnect. This patch should be queued for the 2.6.37 stable tree.

commit 653a39d1f61bdc9f277766736d21d2e9be0391cb upstream.

When there's an xHCI host power loss after a suspend from memory, the USB
core attempts to reset and verify the USB devices that are attached to the
system.  The xHCI driver has to reallocate those devices, since the
hardware lost all knowledge of them during the power loss.

When a hub is plugged in, and the host loses power, the xHCI hardware
structures are not updated to say the device is a hub.  This is usually
done in hub_configure() when the USB hub is detected.  That function is
skipped during a reset and verify by the USB core, since the core restores
the old configuration and alternate settings, and the hub driver has no
idea this happened.  This bug makes the xHCI host controller reject the
enumeration of low speed devices under the resumed hub.

Therefore, make the USB core re-setup the internal xHCI hub device
information by calling update_hub_device() when hub_activate() is called
for a hub reset resume.  After a host power loss, all devices under the
roothub get a reset-resume or a disconnect.

This patch should be queued for the 2.6.37 stable tree.

USB: fix race between root-hub resume and wakeup requests 2011-02-17T22:46:44+00:00 Alan Stern stern@rowland.harvard.edu 2011-02-02T18:59:33+00:00 c2bbe01f172bf66bb2985d361d2a6e2414e4e24b commit bf3d7d40e42a85ca73a34e1385ff34f092a384eb upstream. The USB core keeps track of pending resume requests for root hubs, in order to resolve races between wakeup requests and suspends. However the code that does this is subject to another race (between wakeup requests and resumes) because the WAKEUP_PENDING flag is cleared before the resume occurs, leaving a window in which another wakeup request might arrive. This patch (as1447) fixes the problem by clearing the WAKEUP_PENDING flag after the resume instead of before it. This fixes Bugzilla #24952.

USB: accept some invalid ep0-maxpacket values 2010-11-22T19:03:15+00:00 Alan Stern stern@rowland.harvard.edu 2010-10-14T19:25:21+00:00 01c2a9c29f3b96384b2a250ba7967d09a899763a commit 56626a72a47bf3e50875d960d6b5f17b9bee0ab2 upstream. A few devices (such as the RCA VR5220 voice recorder) are so non-compliant with the USB spec that they have invalid maxpacket sizes for endpoint 0. Nevertheless, as long as we can safely use them, we may as well do so. This patch (as1432) softens our acceptance criterion by allowing high-speed devices to have ep0-maxpacket sizes other than 64.

USB: disable endpoints after unbinding interfaces, not before 2010-11-22T19:03:13+00:00 Alan Stern stern@rowland.harvard.edu 2010-09-30T19:16:23+00:00 393601754ae2572a49053c223c76165c2e84da46 commit 80f0cf3947889014d3a3dc0ad60fb87cfda4b12a upstream. This patch (as1430) fixes a bug in usbcore. When a device configuration change occurs or a device is removed, the endpoints for the old config should be completely disabled. However it turns out they aren't; this is because usb_unbind_interface() calls usb_enable_interface() or usb_set_interface() to put interfaces back in altsetting 0, which re-enables the interfaces' endpoints. As a result, when a device goes through a config change or is unconfigured, the ep_in[] and ep_out[] arrays may be left holding old pointers to usb_host_endpoint structures. If the device is deauthorized these structures get freed, and the stale pointers cause errors when the the device is eventually unplugged. The solution is to disable the endpoints after unbinding the interfaces instead of before. This isn't as large a change as it sounds, since usb_unbind_interface() disables all the interface's endpoints anyway before calling the driver's disconnect routine, unless the driver claims to support "soft" unbind. This fixes Bugzilla #19192. Thanks to "Tom" Lei Ming for diagnosing the underlying cause of the problem.

If CONFIG_USB_DYNAMIC_MINORS is enabled then an interface may be assigned a minor number of 0. However interfaces that aren't registered as USB class devices also have their minor number set to 0, during initialization. As a result usb_find_interface() may return the wrong interface, leading to a crash. This patch (as1418) fixes the problem by initializing every interface's minor number to -1. It also cleans up the usb_register_dev() function, which besides being somewhat awkwardly written, does not unwind completely on all its error paths.

usb: allow drivers to use allocated bandwidth until unbound 2010-09-04T00:33:40+00:00 Thadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo cascardo@holoscopio.com 2010-08-28T06:06:29+00:00 0791971ba8fbc44e4f476079f856335ed45e6324 When using the remove sysfs file, the device configuration is set to -1 (unconfigured). This eventually unbind drivers with the bandwidth_mutex held. Some drivers may call functions that hold said mutex, like usb_reset_device. This is the case for rtl8187, for example. This will lead to the same process holding the mutex twice, which deadlocks. Besides, according to Alan Stern: "The deadlock problem probably could be handled somehow, but there's a separate issue: Until the usb_disable_device call finishes unbinding the drivers, the drivers are free to continue using their allocated bandwidth. We musn't change the bandwidth allocations until after the unbinding is done. So this patch is indeed necessary." Unbinding the driver before holding the bandwidth_mutex solves the problem.
