commit 526867c3ca0caa2e3e846cb993b0f961c33c2abb upstream.

The halted state of a endpoint cannot be cleared over CLEAR_HALT from a
user process, because the stopped_td variable was overwritten in the
handle_stopped_endpoint() function. So the xhci_endpoint_reset() function will
refuse the reset and communication with device can not run over this endpoint.

commit f875fdbf344b9fde207f66b392c40845dd7e5aa6 upstream.

Since uhci-hcd, ehci-hcd, and xhci-hcd support runtime PM, the .pm
field in their pci_driver structures should be protected by CONFIG_PM
rather than CONFIG_PM_SLEEP.  The corresponding change has already
been made for ohci-hcd.

Without this change, controllers won't do runtime suspend if system
suspend or hibernation isn't enabled.

commit c8476fb855434c733099079063990e5bfa7ecad6 upstream.

If a USB controller with XHCI_RESET_ON_RESUME goes to runtime suspend,
a reset will be performed upon runtime resume. Any previously suspended
devices attached to the controller will be re-enumerated at this time.
This will cause problems, for example, if an open system call on the
device triggered the resume (the open call will fail).

Note that this change is only relevant when persist_enabled is not set
for USB devices.

This patch should be backported to kernels as old as 3.0, that
contain the commit c877b3b2ad5cb9d4fe523c5496185cc328ff3ae9 "xhci: Add
reset on resume quirk for asrock p67 host".

commit f375fc520d4df0cd9fcb570f33c103c6c0311f9e upstream.

Commit 7e8d5cd93fac ("USB: Add EHCI support for MX27 and MX31 based
boards") introduced code that could potentially lead to a NULL pointer
dereference on driver removal.

Fix this by checking for the value of pdata before dereferencing it.

<title>usb: host: xhci: Enable XHCI_SPURIOUS_SUCCESS for all controllers with xhci 1.0</title>

commit 07f3cb7c28bf3f4dd80bfb136cf45810c46ac474 upstream.

Xhci controllers with hci_version &gt; 0.96 gives spurious success
events on short packet completion. During webcam capture the
"ERROR Transfer event TRB DMA ptr not part of current TD" was observed.
The same application works fine with synopsis controllers hci_version 0.96.
The same issue is seen with Intel Pantherpoint xhci controller. So enabling
this quirk in xhci_gen_setup if controller verion is greater than 0.96.
For xhci-pci move the quirk to much generic place xhci_gen_setup.

Note from Sarah:

The xHCI 1.0 spec changed how hardware handles short packets.  The HW
will notify SW of the TRB where the short packet occurred, and it will
also give a successful status for the last TRB in a TD (the one with the
IOC flag set).  On the second successful status, that warning will be
triggered in the driver.

Software is now supposed to not assume the TD is not completed until it
gets that last successful status.  That means we have a slight race
condition, although it should have little practical impact.  This patch
papers over that issue.

It's on my long-term to-do list to fix this race condition, but it is a
much more involved patch that will probably be too big for stable.  This
patch is needed for stable to avoid serious log spam.

This patch should be backported to kernels as old as 3.0, that
contain the commit ad808333d8201d53075a11bc8dd83b81f3d68f0b "Intel xhci:
Ignore spurious successful event."

The patch will have to be modified for kernels older than 3.2, since
that kernel added the xhci_gen_setup function for xhci platform devices.
The correct conflict resolution for kernels older than 3.2 is to set
XHCI_SPURIOUS_SUCCESS in xhci_pci_quirks for all xHCI 1.0 hosts.

commit 203a86613fb3bf2767335659513fa98563a3eb71 upstream.

When the host controller fails to respond to an Enable Slot command, and
the host fails to respond to the register write to abort the command
ring, the xHCI driver will assume the host is dead, and call
usb_hc_died().

The USB device's slot_id is still set to zero, and the pointer stored at
xhci-&gt;devs[0] will always be NULL.  The call to xhci_check_args in
xhci_free_dev should have caught the NULL virt_dev pointer.

However, xhci_free_dev is designed to free the xhci_virt_device
structures, even if the host is dead, so that we don't leak kernel
memory.  xhci_free_dev checks the return value from the generic
xhci_check_args function.  If the return value is -ENODEV, it carries on
trying to free the virtual device.

The issue is that xhci_check_args looks at the host controller state
before it looks at the xhci_virt_device pointer.  It will return -ENIVAL
because the host is dead, and xhci_free_dev will ignore the return
value, and happily dereference the NULL xhci_virt_device pointer.

The fix is to make sure that xhci_check_args checks the xhci_virt_device
pointer before it checks the host state.

See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1203453 for
further details.  This patch doesn't solve the underlying issue, but
will ensure we don't see any more NULL pointer dereferences because of
the issue.

This patch should be backported to kernels as old as 3.1, that
contain the commit 7bd89b4017f46a9b92853940fd9771319acb578a "xhci: Don't

commit fdc03438f53a00294ed9939eb3a1f6db6f3d8963 upstream.

This patch reverts commit 3e619d04159be54b3daa0b7036b0ce9e067f4b5d
(USB: EHCI: fix bug in scheduling periodic split transfers).  The
commit was valid -- it fixed a real bug -- but the periodic scheduler
in ehci-hcd is in such bad shape (especially the part that handles
split transactions) that fixing one bug is very likely to cause
another to surface.  That's what happened in this case; the result was
choppy and noisy playback on certain 24-bit audio devices.

The only real fix will be to rewrite this entire section of code.  My
next project...

This fixes https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1136110.

Thanks to Tim Richardson for extra testing and feedback, and to Joseph
Salisbury and Tyson Tan for tracking down the original source of the
problem.
