      wusbcore: fix root hub hub_status_data to only return > 0 if status has actually changed · 467d296f
      Thomas Pugliese authored
      The hub_status_data function on the wireless USB root hub controller
      (wusbhc_rh_status_data) always returns a positive value even if no ports
      have changed.  This patch updates wusbhc_rh_status_data to only return a
      positive value if the root hub status needs to be queried.  The current
      implementation can also leave the upper bits of the port bitmap
      uninitialized if wusbhc->ports_max is not one less than an even multiple
      of 8.  This patch fixes that as well by initializing the buffer to 0.

      usb: ehci: Add support for SINGLE_STEP_SET_FEATURE test of EHSET · 9841f37a
      Manu Gautam authored
      The USB Embedded High-speed Host Electrical Test (EHSET) defines the
      SINGLE_STEP_SET_FEATURE test as follows:
      
      1) The host enumerates the test device with VID:0x1A0A, PID:0x0108
      2) The host sends the SETUP stage of a GetDescriptor(Device)
      3) The device ACKs the request
      4) The host issues SOFs for 15 seconds allowing the test operator to
         raise the scope trigger just above the SOF voltage level
      5) The host sends the IN packet
      6) The device sends data in response, triggering the scope
      7) The host sends an ACK in response to the data
      
      This patch adds additional handling to the EHCI hub driver and allows
      the EHSET driver to initiate this test mode by issuing a a SetFeature
      request to the root hub with a Test Selector value of 0x06. From there
      it mimics ehci_urb_enqueue() but separately submits QTDs for the
      SETUP and DATA/STATUS stages in order to insert a delay in between.

      usb: config->desc.bLength may not exceed amount of data returned by the device · b4f17a48
      Hans de Goede authored
      While reading the config parsing code I noticed this check is missing, without
      this check config->desc.wTotalLength can end up with a value larger then the
      dev->rawdescriptors length for the config, and when userspace then tries to
      get the rawdescriptors bad things may happen.

      usb: Move definition of USB_EHCI_BIG_ENDIAN_MMIO et al. out side of the ifs. · 900e0621
      David Daney authored
      When CONFIG_USB_SUPPORT is not selected we get things like:
      
      scripts/kconfig/mconf Kconfig
      warning: (MIPS_SEAD3 && PMC_MSP && CPU_CAVIUM_OCTEON) selects USB_EHCI_BIG_ENDIAN_MMIO which has unmet direct dependencies (USB_SUPPORT && USB)
      
      It is much cleaner to make the various system Kconfigs select
      USB_EHCI_BIG_ENDIAN_MMIO rather than move the system config
      information into USB's Kconfig, but the warnings are annoying.
      
      Eliminate the warning by moving the definition of
      USB_EHCI_BIG_ENDIAN_MMIO outside of all the Kconfig if statements.
      While we are at it move USB_OHCI_BIG_ENDIAN_DESC,
      USB_OHCI_BIG_ENDIAN_MMIO, USB_OHCI_LITTLE_ENDIAN and
      USB_EHCI_BIG_ENDIAN_DESC too, as they could very well suffer similar
      problems for other systems.
      
      Get rid of the redundant "default n" in USB_OHCI_BIG_ENDIAN_DESC and
      USB_OHCI_BIG_ENDIAN_MMIO

      USBNET: ax88179_178a: enable tso if usb host supports sg dma · 3804fad4

      This patch enables 'can_dma_sg' flag for ax88179_178a device
      if the attached host controller supports building packet from
      discontinuous buffers(DMA SG is possible), so TSO can be enabled
      and skb fragment buffers can be passed to usb stack via urb->sg
      directly.
      
      With the patch, system CPU utilization decreased ~50% and throughput
      increased by ~10% when doing iperf client test on one ARM A15 dual
      core board.

      USB: EHCI: improve interrupt qh unlink · 9118f9eb
      Ming Lei authored
      ehci-hcd currently unlinks an interrupt QH when it becomes empty, that
      is, after its last URB completes.  This works well because in almost
      all cases, the completion handler for an interrupt URB resubmits the
      URB; therefore the QH doesn't become empty and doesn't get unlinked.
      
      When we start using tasklets for URB completion, this scheme won't work
      as well.  The resubmission won't occur until the tasklet runs, which
      will be some time after the completion is queued with the tasklet.
      During that delay, the QH will be empty and so will be unlinked
      unnecessarily.
      
      To prevent this problem, this patch adds a 5-ms time delay before empty
      interrupt QHs are unlinked.  Most often, during that time the interrupt
      URB will be resubmitted and thus we can avoid unlinking the QH.

      USB: EHCI: improve ehci_endpoint_disable · 35371e4f
      Ming Lei authored
      The patch does the below improvement:
      
      - think QH_STATE_COMPLETING as unlinking state since all URBs on the
      endpoint should be in unlinking or unlinked when doing endpoint_disable()
      
      - add "WARN_ON(!list_empty(&qh->qtd_list));" if qh->qh_state is
      QH_STATE_LINKED because there shouldn't be any active transfer in qh
      
      - when qh->qh_state is QH_STATE_LINKED, the QH(async or periodic)
      should be in its corresponding list, so the search through the async
      list isn't necessary.
      
      - unlink periodic QH to speed up unlinking if the QH is in linked
      state
      
      Basically, only the last one is related with this patchset because
      the assumption of "periodic qh self-unlinks on empty" isn't true
      any more when we introduce unlink-wait for periodic qh.

      USB: URB documentation: claim complete() will be run with IRQs enabled · 85721d45
      Ming Lei authored
      There is no good reason to run complete() in hard interrupt
      disabled context.
      
      After switch to run complete() in tasklet, we will enable local IRQs
      when calling complete() since we can do it at that time.
      
      Even though we still disable IRQs now when calling complete()
      in tasklet, the URB documentation is updated to claim complete()
      will be run in tasklet context and local IRQs will be enabled, so
      that USB drivers can know the change and avoid one deadlock caused
      by: assume IRQs disabled in complete() and call spin_lock() to
      hold lock which might be acquired in interrupt context.
      
      Current spin_lock() usages in drivers' complete() will be cleaned
      up at the same time, and once the cleanup is finished, local IRQs
      will be enabled when calling complete() in tasklet.
      
      Also fix description about type of usb_complete_t, and remove the
      advice of running completion handler in tasklet for decreasing
      system latency.

      USB: HCD: support giveback of URB in tasklet context · 94dfd7ed
      Ming Lei authored
      This patch implements the mechanism of giveback of URB in
      tasklet context, so that hardware interrupt handling time for
      usb host controller can be saved much, and HCD interrupt handling
      can be simplified.
      
      Motivations:
      
      1), on some arch(such as ARM), DMA mapping/unmapping is a bit
      time-consuming, for example: when accessing usb mass storage
      via EHCI on pandaboard, the common length of transfer buffer is 120KB,
      the time consumed on DMA unmapping may reach hundreds of microseconds;
      even on A15 based box, the time is still about scores of microseconds
      
      2), on some arch, reading DMA coherent memoery is very time-consuming,
      the most common example is usb video class driver[1]
      
      3), driver's complete() callback may do much things which is driver
      specific, so the time is consumed unnecessarily in hardware irq context.
      
      4), running driver's complete() callback in hardware irq context causes
      that host controller driver has to release its lock in interrupt handler,
      so reacquiring the lock after return may busy wait a while and increase
      interrupt handling time. More seriously, releasing the HCD lock makes
      HCD becoming quite complicated to deal with introduced races.
      
      So the patch proposes to run giveback of URB in tasklet context, then
      time consumed in HCD irq handling doesn't depend on drivers' complete and
      DMA mapping/unmapping any more, also we can simplify HCD since the HCD
      lock isn't needed to be released during irq handling.
      
      The patch should be reasonable and doable:
      
      1), for drivers, they don't care if the complete() is called in hard irq
      context or softirq context
      
      2), the biggest change is the situation in which usb_submit_urb() is called
      in complete() callback, so the introduced tasklet schedule delay might be a
      con, but it shouldn't be a big deal:
      
      	- control/bulk asynchronous transfer isn't sensitive to schedule
      	  delay
      
      	- the patch schedules giveback of periodic URBs using
      	  tasklet_hi_schedule, so the introduced delay should be very
      	  small
      
      	- for ISOC transfer, generally, drivers submit several URBs
      	  concurrently to avoid interrupt delay, so it is OK with the
      	  little schedule delay.
      
      	- for interrupt transfer, generally, drivers only submit one URB
      	  at the same time, but interrupt transfer is often used in event
      	  report, polling, ... situations, and a little delay should be OK.
      
      Considered that HCDs may optimize on submitting URB in complete(), the
      patch may cause the optimization not working, so introduces one flag to mark
      if the HCD supports to run giveback URB in tasklet context. When all HCDs
      are ready, the flag can be removed.
