usbdevfs: Fix broken scatter-gather transfer

2012-10-17T20:41:34+00:00

The handling of large output bulk transfers is broken; the same user
page is read over and over again. Fixed with this patch.

USB 3.0 Link PM fixes.

Hi Greg,

Here's four fixes for the USB 3.0 Link Power Management code.  They
work around some USB 3.0 devices that don't support LPM, like the
Western Digital My Passport hard drive.  They also fix an LPM disable
ref count bug that would cause LPM to remain disabled for a device
after a failed probe.

Please queue for 3.7 after the merge window closes.  Several patches are
marked for stable.

SEL and PEL are in microseconds, not milliseconds.  Also, fix a split
string that will trigger checkpatch warnings.

usb: Send Set SEL before enabling parent U1/U2 timeout.

2012-10-08T18:48:28+00:00

The Set SEL control transfer tells a device the exit latencies
associated with a device-initated U1 or U2 exit.  Since a parent hub may
initiate a transition to U1 soon after a downstream port's U1 timeout is
set, we need to make sure the device receives the Set SEL transfer
before the parent hub timeout is set.

This patch should be backported to kernels as old as 3.5, that contain
the commit 1ea7e0e8e3d0f50901d335ea4178ab2aa8c88201 "USB: Add support to

usb: Don't enable LPM if the exit latency is zero.

2012-10-08T18:48:07+00:00

Some USB 3.0 devices signal that they don't implement Link PM by having
all zeroes in the U1/U2 exit latencies in their SuperSpeed BOS
descriptor.  Don found that a Western Digital device he has experiences
transfer errors when LPM is enabled.  The lsusb shows the U1/U2 exit
latencies are set to zero:

Binary Object Store Descriptor:
  bLength                 5
  bDescriptorType        15
  wTotalLength           22
  bNumDeviceCaps          2
  SuperSpeed USB Device Capability:
    bLength                10
    bDescriptorType        16
    bDevCapabilityType      3
    bmAttributes         0x00
      Latency Tolerance Messages (LTM) Supported
    wSpeedsSupported   0x000e
      Device can operate at Full Speed (12Mbps)
      Device can operate at High Speed (480Mbps)
      Device can operate at SuperSpeed (5Gbps)
    bFunctionalitySupport   1
      Lowest fully-functional device speed is Full Speed (12Mbps)
    bU1DevExitLat           0 micro seconds
    bU2DevExitLat           0 micro seconds

The fix is to not enable LPM for a particular link state if we find its
corresponding exit latency is zero.

USB: Enable LPM after a failed probe.

2012-10-08T18:47:40+00:00

Before a driver is probed, we want to disable USB 3.0 Link Power
Management (LPM), in case the driver needs hub-initiated LPM disabled.
After the probe finishes, we want to attempt to re-enable LPM, order to
balance the LPM ref count.

When a probe fails (such as when libusual doesn't want to bind to a USB
3.0 mass storage device), make sure to balance the LPM ref counts by
re-enabling LPM.

This patch should be backported to kernels as old as 3.5, that contain
the commit 8306095fd2c1100e8244c09bf560f97aca5a311d "USB: Disable USB
3.0 LPM in critical sections."

USB: Fix race condition when removing host controllers

2012-09-27T16:17:49+00:00

This patch (as1607) fixes a race that can occur if a USB host
controller is removed while a process is reading the
/sys/kernel/debug/usb/devices file.

The usb_device_read() routine uses the bus->root_hub pointer to
determine whether or not the root hub is registered.  The is not a
valid test, because the pointer is set before the root hub gets
registered and remains set even after the root hub is unregistered and
deallocated.  As a result, usb_device_read() or usb_device_dump() can
access freed memory, causing an oops.

The patch changes the test to use the hcd->rh_registered flag, which
does get set and cleared at the appropriate times.  It also makes sure
to hold the usb_bus_list_lock mutex while setting the flag, so that
usb_device_read() will become aware of new root hubs as soon as they
are registered.
