USB: fix deadlock in bConfigurationValue attribute method

2012-04-27T17:16:50+00:00

commit 8963c487a80b4688c9e68dcc504a90074aacc145 upstream.

This patch (as154) fixes a self-deadlock that occurs when userspace
writes to the bConfigurationValue sysfs attribute for a hub with
children.  The task tries to lock the bandwidth_mutex at a time when
it already owns the lock:

	The attribute's method calls usb_set_configuration(),
	which calls usb_disable_device() with the bandwidth_mutex
	held.

	usb_disable_device() unregisters the existing interfaces,
	which causes the hub driver to be unbound.

	The hub_disconnect() routine calls hub_quiesce(), which
	calls usb_disconnect() for each of the hub's children.

	usb_disconnect() attempts to acquire the bandwidth_mutex
	around a call to usb_disable_device().

The solution is to make usb_disable_device() acquire the mutex for
itself instead of requiring the caller to hold it.  Then the mutex can
cover only the bandwidth deallocation operation and not the region
where the interfaces are unregistered.

This has the potential to change system behavior slightly when a
config change races with another config or altsetting change.  Some of
the bandwidth released from the old config might get claimed by the
other config or altsetting, make it impossible to restore the old
config in case of a failure.  But since we don't try to recover from
config-change failures anyway, this doesn't matter.

[This should be marked for stable kernels that contain the commit
fccf4e86200b8f5edd9a65da26f150e32ba79808 "USB: Free bandwidth when
usb_disable_device is called."
That commit was marked for stable kernels as old as 2.6.32.]

USB: fix bug of device descriptor got from superspeed device

2012-04-22T22:39:16+00:00

commit d8aec3dbdfd02627e198e7956ab4aaeba2a349fa upstream.

When the Seagate Goflex USB3.0 device is attached to VIA xHCI
host, sometimes the device will downgrade mode to high speed.
By the USB analyzer, I found the device finished the link
training process and worked at superspeed mode. But the device
descriptor got from the device shows the device works at 2.1.
It is very strange and seems like the device controller of
Seagate Goflex has a little confusion.

The first 8 bytes of device descriptor should be:
12 01 00 03 00 00 00 09

But the first 8 bytes of wrong device descriptor are:
12 01 10 02 00 00 00 40

The wrong device descriptor caused the initialization of mass
storage failed. After a while, the device would be recognized
as a high speed device and works fine.

This patch will warm reset the device to fix the issue after
finding the bcdUSB field of device descriptor isn't 0x0300
but the speed mode of device is superspeed.

This patch should be backported to kernels as old as 3.2, or ones that
contain the commit 75d7cf72ab9fa01dc70877aa5c68e8ef477229dc "usbcore:
refine warm reset logic".

USB: don't ignore suspend errors for root hubs

2012-04-22T22:39:15+00:00

commit cd4376e23a59a2adf3084cb5f4a523e6d5fd4e49 upstream.

This patch (as1532) fixes a mistake in the USB suspend code.  When the
system is going to sleep, we should ignore errors in powering down USB
devices, because they don't really matter.  The devices will go to low
power anyway when the entire USB bus gets suspended (except for
SuperSpeed devices; maybe they will need special treatment later).

However we should not ignore errors in suspending root hubs,
especially if the error indicates that the suspend raced with a wakeup
request.  Doing so might leave the bus powered on while the system was
supposed to be asleep, or it might cause the suspend of the root hub's
parent controller device to fail, or it might cause a wakeup request
to be ignored.

The patch fixes the problem by ignoring errors only when the device in
question is not a root hub.

USB: don't clear urb->dev in scatter-gather library

2012-04-22T22:39:15+00:00

commit bcf398537630bf20b4dbe59ba855b69f404c93cf upstream.

This patch (as1517b) fixes an error in the USB scatter-gather library.
The library code uses urb->dev to determine whether or nor an URB is
currently active; the completion handler sets urb->dev to NULL.
However the core unlinking routines need to use urb->dev.  Since
unlinking always racing with completion, the completion handler must
not clear urb->dev -- it can lead to invalid memory accesses when a
transfer has to be cancelled.

This patch fixes the problem by getting rid of the lines that clear
urb->dev after urb has been submitted.  As a result we may end up
trying to unlink an URB that failed in submission or that has already
completed, so an extra check is added after each unlink to avoid
printing an error message when this happens.  The checks are updated
in both sg_complete() and sg_cancel(), and the second is updated to
match the first (currently it prints out unnecessary warning messages
if a device is unplugged while a transfer is in progress).

USB: Set hub depth after USB3 hub reset

2012-02-21T23:45:25+00:00

The superspeed device attached to a USB 3.0 hub(such as VIA's)
doesn't respond the address device command after resume. The
root cause is the superspeed hub will miss the Hub Depth value
that is used as an offset into the route string to locate the
bits it uses to determine the downstream port number after
reset, and all packets can't be routed to the device attached
to the superspeed hub.

Hub driver sends a Set Hub Depth request to the superspeed hub
except for USB 3.0 root hub when the hub is initialized and
doesn't send the request again after reset due to the resume
process. So moving the code that sends the Set Hub Depth request
to the superspeed hub from hub_configure() to hub_activate()
is to cover those situations include initialization and reset.

The patch should be backported to kernels as old as 2.6.39.

USB: Don't fail USB3 probe on missing legacy PCI IRQ.

2012-02-14T18:48:05+00:00

Intel has a PCI USB xhci host controller on a new platform. It doesn't
have a line IRQ definition in BIOS.  The Linux driver refuses to
initialize this controller, but Windows works well because it only depends
on MSI.

Actually, Linux also can work for MSI.  This patch avoids the line IRQ
checking for USB3 HCDs in usb core PCI probe.  It allows the xHCI driver
to try to enable MSI or MSI-X first.  It will fail the probe if MSI
enabling failed and there's no legacy PCI IRQ.

This patch should be backported to kernels as old as 2.6.32.

module_param: make bool parameters really bool (drivers & misc)

2012-01-12T23:02:20+00:00

module_param(bool) used to counter-intuitively take an int.  In
fddd5201 (mid-2009) we allowed bool or int/unsigned int using a messy
trick.

It's time to remove the int/unsigned int option.  For this version
it'll simply give a warning, but it'll break next kernel version.
