xhci: Fix a race in usb2 LPM resume, blocking U3 for usb2 devices

2015-11-18T17:24:41+00:00

Clear device initiated resume variables once device is fully up and running
in U0 state.

Resume needs to be signaled for 20ms for usb2 devices before they can be
moved to U0 state.

An interrupt is triggered if a device initiates resume. As we handle the
event in interrupt context we can not sleep for 20ms, so we instead set
a resume flag, a timestamp, and start the roothub polling.

The roothub code will later move the port to U0 when it finds a port in
resume state with the resume flag set, and timestamp passed by 20ms.

A host initiated resume is however not done in interrupt context, and
host initiated resume code will directly signal resume, wait 20ms and then
move the port to U0.

These two codepaths can race, if we are in the middle of a host initated
resume, while sleeping for 20ms, we may handle a port event and find the
port in resume state. The port event handling code will assume the resume
was device initiated and set the resume flag and timestamp.

Root hub code will however not catch the port in resume state again as the
host initated resume code has already moved the port to U0.
The resume flag and timestamp will remain set for this port preventing port
from suspending again  (LPM setting port to U3)

Fix this for now by always clearing the device initated resume parameters
once port is in U0

usb: xhci: fix checking ep busy for CFC

2015-11-18T17:24:41+00:00

Function ep_ring_is_processing() checks the dequeue pointer
in endpoint context to know whether an endpoint is busy with
processing TRBs. This is not correct since dequeue pointer
field in an endpoint context is only valid when the endpoint
is in Halted or Stopped states. This buggy code causes audio
noise when playing sound with USB headset connected to host
controllers which support CFC (one of xhci 1.1 features).

This patch should exist in stable kernel since v4.3.

xhci: Workaround to get Intel xHCI reset working more reliably

2015-11-18T17:24:41+00:00

Existing Intel xHCI controllers require a delay of 1 mS,
after setting the CMD_RESET bit in command register, before
accessing any HC registers. This allows the HC to complete
the reset operation and be ready for HC register access.
Without this delay, the subsequent HC register access,
may result in a system hang, very rarely.

Verified CherryView / Braswell platforms go through over
5000 warm reboot cycles (which was not possible without
this patch), without any xHCI reset hang.

mm, page_alloc: distinguish between being unable to sleep, unwilling to sleep and avoiding waking kswapd

2015-11-07T01:50:42+00:00

__GFP_WAIT has been used to identify atomic context in callers that hold
spinlocks or are in interrupts.  They are expected to be high priority and
have access one of two watermarks lower than "min" which can be referred
to as the "atomic reserve".  __GFP_HIGH users get access to the first
lower watermark and can be called the "high priority reserve".

Over time, callers had a requirement to not block when fallback options
were available.  Some have abused __GFP_WAIT leading to a situation where
an optimisitic allocation with a fallback option can access atomic
reserves.

This patch uses __GFP_ATOMIC to identify callers that are truely atomic,
cannot sleep and have no alternative.  High priority users continue to use
__GFP_HIGH.  __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM identifies callers that can sleep and
are willing to enter direct reclaim.  __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM to identify
callers that want to wake kswapd for background reclaim.  __GFP_WAIT is
redefined as a caller that is willing to enter direct reclaim and wake
kswapd for background reclaim.

This patch then converts a number of sites

o __GFP_ATOMIC is used by callers that are high priority and have memory
  pools for those requests. GFP_ATOMIC uses this flag.

o Callers that have a limited mempool to guarantee forward progress clear
  __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM but keep __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. bio allocations fall
  into this category where kswapd will still be woken but atomic reserves
  are not used as there is a one-entry mempool to guarantee progress.

o Callers that are checking if they are non-blocking should use the
  helper gfpflags_allow_blocking() where possible. This is because
  checking for __GFP_WAIT as was done historically now can trigger false
  positives. Some exceptions like dm-crypt.c exist where the code intent
  is clearer if __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM is used instead of the helper due to
  flag manipulations.

o Callers that built their own GFP flags instead of starting with GFP_KERNEL
  and friends now also need to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM.

The first key hazard to watch out for is callers that removed __GFP_WAIT
and was depending on access to atomic reserves for inconspicuous reasons.
In some cases it may be appropriate for them to use __GFP_HIGH.

The second key hazard is callers that assembled their own combination of
GFP flags instead of starting with something like GFP_KERNEL.  They may
now wish to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM.  It's almost certainly harmless
if it's missed in most cases as other activity will wake kswapd.
