USB: usbtest: add a timeout for scatter-gather tests

2014-06-18T00:05:50+00:00

In usbtest, tests 5 - 8 use the scatter-gather library in usbcore
without any sort of timeout.  If there's a problem in the gadget or
host controller being tested, the test can hang.

This patch adds a 10-second timeout to the tests, so that they will
fail gracefully with an ETIMEDOUT error instead of hanging.

USB: EHCI: avoid BIOS handover on the HASEE E200

2014-06-18T00:05:49+00:00

Leandro Liptak reports that his HASEE E200 computer hangs when we ask
the BIOS to hand over control of the EHCI host controller.  This
definitely sounds like a bug in the BIOS, but at the moment there is
no way to fix it.

This patch works around the problem by avoiding the handoff whenever
the motherboard and BIOS version match those of Leandro's computer.

usb: fix hub-port pm_runtime_enable() vs runtime pm transitions

2014-06-18T00:04:39+00:00

Commit 9262c19d14c4 "usb: disable port power control if not supported in
wHubCharacteristics" gated enabling runtime pm for usb_port devices on
whether the parent hub supports power control, which causes a
regression.  The port must still be allowed to carry out runtime pm
callbacks and receive a -EAGAIN or -EBUSY result.  Otherwise the
usb_port device will transition to the pm error state and trigger the
same for the child usb_device.

Prior to the offending commit usb_hub_create_port_device() arranged for
runtime pm to be disabled is dev_pm_qos_expose_flags() failed.  Instead,
force the default state of PM_QOS_FLAG_NO_POWER_OFF flag to be set prior
to enabling runtime pm.  If that policy can not be set then fail
registration.

usb: quiet peer failure warning, disable poweroff

2014-06-18T00:04:39+00:00

In the case where platform firmware has specified conflicting values for
port locations it is confusing and otherwise not helpful to throw a
backtrace.  Instead, include enough information to determine that
firmware has done something wrong and globally disable port poweroff.

usb: improve "not suspended yet" message in hub_suspend()

2014-06-17T23:44:57+00:00

Reading through a recent bug report [1], Alan notes:

  "Dan, the warning message in hub_suspend() should mention that the
   child device isn't suspended yet."

...update the warning from:

  "usb usb3-port4: not suspended yet"

...to:

   "usb usb3-port4: device 3-4: not suspended yet"

xhci: Fix sleeping with IRQs disabled in xhci_stop_device()

2014-06-17T23:44:57+00:00

xhci_stop_device() allocates and issues stop commands for each active endpoint.
This is done with spinlock held and interrupt disabled so we can't sleep during
memory allocation. Use GFP_NOWAIT instead

Regression from commit ddba5cd0aeff5bbed92ebdf4b1223300b0541e78

usb: fix ->update_hub_device() vs hdev->maxchild

2014-06-17T23:44:57+00:00

Commit d8521afe3586 "usb: assign default peer ports for root hubs"
delayed marking a hub valid (set hdev->maxchild) until it had been fully
configured and to enable the publishing of valid hubs to be serialized
by usb_port_peer_mutex.

However, xhci_update_hub_device() in some cases depends on
hdev->maxchild already being set.  Do the minimal fix and move it after
the setting of hdev->maxchild.

 "This the bunch that sat in -next + lock_parent() fix.  This is the
  minimal set; there's more pending stuff.

  In particular, I really hope to get acct.c fixes merged this cycle -
  we need that to deal sanely with delayed-mntput stuff.  In the next
  pile, hopefully - that series is fairly short and localized
  (kernel/acct.c, fs/super.c and fs/namespace.c).  In this pile: more
  iov_iter work.  Most of prereqs for ->splice_write with sane locking
  order are there and Kent's dio rewrite would also fit nicely on top of
  this pile"
