When a hot reset fails on a USB 3.0 port, the current port reset code
recursively calls hub_port_reset inside hub_port_wait_reset.  This isn't
ideal, since we should avoid recursive calls in the kernel, and it also
doesn't allow us to issue multiple warm resets on reset failures.

Rip out the recursive call.  Instead, add code to hub_port_reset to
issue a warm reset if the hot reset fails, and try multiple warm resets
before giving up on the port.

In hub_port_wait_reset, remove the recursive call and re-indent.  The
code is basically the same, except:

1. It bails out early if the port has transitioned to Inactive or
Compliance Mode after the reset completed.

2. It doesn't consider a connect status change to be a failed reset.  If
multiple warm resets needed to be issued, the connect status may have
changed, so we need to ignore that and look at the port link state
instead.  hub_port_reset will now do that.

3. It unconditionally sets udev->speed on all types of successful
resets.  The old recursive code would set the port speed when the second
hub_port_reset returned.

The old code did not handle connected devices needing a warm reset well.
There were only two situations that the old code handled correctly: an
empty port needing a warm reset, and a hot reset that migrated to a warm
reset.

When an empty port needed a warm reset, hub_port_reset was called with
the warm variable set.  The code in hub_port_finish_reset would skip
telling the USB core and the xHC host that the device was reset, because
otherwise that would result in a NULL pointer dereference.

When a USB 3.0 device reset migrated to a warm reset, the recursive call
made the call stack look like this:

hub_port_reset(warm = false)
        hub_wait_port_reset(warm = false)
                hub_port_reset(warm = true)
                        hub_wait_port_reset(warm = true)
                        hub_port_finish_reset(warm = true)
                        (return up the call stack to the first wait)

        hub_port_finish_reset(warm = false)

The old code didn't want to notify the USB core or the xHC host of device reset
twice, so it only did it in the second call to hub_port_finish_reset,
when warm was set to false.  This was necessary because
before patch two ("USB: Ignore xHCI Reset Device status."), the USB core
would pay attention to the xHC Reset Device command error status, and
the second call would always fail.

Now that we no longer have the recursive call, and warm can change from
false to true in hub_port_reset, we need to have hub_port_finish_reset
unconditionally notify the USB core and the xHC of the device reset.

In hub_port_finish_reset, unconditionally clear the connect status
change (CSC) bit for USB 3.0 hubs when the port reset is done.  If we
had to issue multiple warm resets for a device, that bit may have been
set if the device went into SS.Inactive and then was successfully warm
reset.

call to hub_port_reset on a failed hot reset.  In preparation for that,
make sure all code paths can deal with being called with a NULL udev.

The EHCI host controller needs to prevent EHCI initialization when the
UHCI or OHCI companion controller is in the middle of a port reset.  It
uses ehci_cf_port_reset_rwsem to do this.  USB 3.0 hubs can't be under
an EHCI host controller, so it makes no sense to down the semaphore for
USB 3.0 hubs.  It also makes the warm port reset code more complex.

The USB core hub thread (khubd) is designed with external USB hubs in
mind.  It expects that if a port status change bit is set, the hub will
continue to send a notification through the hub status data transfer.
Basically, it expects hub notifications to be level-triggered.

The xHCI host controller is designed to be edge-triggered on the logical
'OR' of all the port status change bits.  When all port status change
bits are clear, and a new change bit is set, the xHC will generate a
Port Status Change Event.  If another change bit is set in the same port
status register before the first bit is cleared, it will not send
another event.

This means that the hub code may lose port status changes because of
race conditions between clearing change bits.  The user sees this as a
"dead port" that doesn't react to device connects.

The fix is to turn on port polling whenever a new change bit is set.
Once the USB core issues a hub status request that shows that no change
bits are set in any USB ports, turn off port polling.

We can't allow the USB core to poll the roothub for port events during
host suspend because if the PCI host is in D3cold, the port registers
will be all f's.  Instead, stop the port polling timer, and
unconditionally restart it when the host resumes.  If there are no port
change bits set after the resume, the first call to hub_status_data will
disable polling.

This patch should be backported to stable kernels with the first xHCI
support, 2.6.31 and newer, that include the commit

An empty port can transition to either Inactive or Compliance Mode if a
newly connected USB 3.0 device fails to link train.  In that case, we
issue a warm reset.  Some devices, such as John's Roseweil eusb3
enclosure, slip back into Compliance Mode after the warm reset.

The current warm reset code does not check for device connect status on
warm reset completion, and it incorrectly reports the warm reset
succeeded.  This causes the USB core to attempt to send a Set Address
control transfer to a port in Compliance Mode, which will always fail.

Make hub_port_wait_reset check the current connect status and link state
after the warm reset completes.  Return a failure status if the device
is disconnected or the link state is Compliance Mode or SS.Inactive.

Make hub_events disable the port if warm reset fails.  This will disable
the port, and then bring it back into the RxDetect state.  Make the USB
core ignore the connect change until the device reconnects.

Note that this patch does NOT handle connected devices slipping into the
Inactive state very well.  This is a concern, because devices can go
into the Inactive state on U1/U2 exit failure.  However, the fix for
that case is too large for stable, so it will be submitted in a separate
patch.

The port reset code bails out early if the current connect status is
cleared (device disconnected).  If we're issuing a hot reset, it may
also look at the link state before the reset is finished.

Section 10.14.2.6 of the USB 3.0 spec says that when a port enters the
Error state or Resetting state, the port connection bit retains the
value from the previous state.  Therefore we can't trust it until the
reset finishes.  Also, the xHCI spec section 4.19.1.2.5 says software
shall ignore the link state while the port is resetting, as it can be in
an unknown state.

The port state during reset is also unknown for USB 2.0 hubs.  The hub
sends a reset signal by driving the bus into an SE0 state.  This
overwhelms the "connect" signal from the device, so the port can't tell
whether anything is connected or not.

Fix the port reset code to ignore the port link state and current
connect bit until the reset finishes, and USB_PORT_STAT_RESET is
cleared.

Remove the check for USB_PORT_STAT_C_BH_RESET in the warm reset case,
because it's redundant.  When the warm reset finishes, the port reset
bit will be cleared at the same time USB_PORT_STAT_C_BH_RESET is set.
Remove the now-redundant check for a cleared USB_PORT_STAT_RESET bit
in the code to deal with the finished reset.

If hot and warm reset fails, or a port remains in the Compliance Mode,
the USB core needs to be able to disable a USB 3.0 port.  Unlike USB 2.0
ports, once the port is placed into the Disabled link state, it will not
report any new device connects.  To get device connect notifications, we
need to put the link into the Disabled state, and then the RxDetect
state.

The xHCI driver needs to atomically clear all change bits on USB 3.0
port disable, so that we get Port Status Change Events for future port
changes.  We could technically do this in the USB core instead of in the
xHCI roothub code, since the port state machine can't advance out of the
disabled state until we set the link state to RxDetect.  However,
external USB 3.0 hubs don't need this code.  They are level-triggered,
not edge-triggered like xHCI, so they will continue to send interrupt
events when any change bit is set.  Therefore it doesn't make sense to
put this code in the USB core.

This patch is part of a series to fix several reports of infinite loops
on device enumeration failure.  This includes John, when he boots with
a USB 3.0 device (Roseweil eusb3 enclosure) attached to his NEC 0.96
host controller.  The fix requires warm reset support, so it does not
make sense to backport this patch to stable kernels without warm reset
support.

When the USB core finishes reseting a USB device, the xHCI driver sends
a Reset Device command to the host.  The xHC then updates its internal
representation of the USB device to the 'Default' device state.  If the
device was already in the Default state, the xHC will complete the
command with an error status.

If a device needs to be reset several times during enumeration, the
second reset will always fail because of the xHCI Reset Device command.
This can cause issues during enumeration.

For example, usb_reset_and_verify_device calls into hub_port_init in a
loop.  Say that on the first call into hub_port_init, the device is
successfully reset, but doesn't respond to several set address control
transfers.  Then the port will be disabled, but the udev will remain in
tact.  usb_reset_and_verify_device will call into hub_port_init again.

On the second call into hub_port_init, the device will be reset, and the
xHCI driver will issue a Reset Device command.  This command will fail
(because the device is already in the Default state), and
usb_reset_and_verify_device will fail.  The port will be disabled, and
the device won't be able to enumerate.

Fix this by ignoring the return value of the HCD reset_device callback.

reset to a warm (BH) reset.  In that case, the warm reset change bit
will be set, and the link state change bit may also be set.  Change

A high speed control or bulk endpoint may have bInterval set to zero,
which means it does not NAK.  If bInterval is non-zero, it means the
endpoint NAKs at a rate of 2^(bInterval - 1).

The xHCI code to compute the NAK interval does not handle the special
case of zero properly.  The current code unconditionally subtracts one
from bInterval and uses it as an exponent.  This causes a very large
bInterval to be used, and warning messages like these will be printed:

usb 1-1: ep 0x1 - rounding interval to 32768 microframes, ep desc says 0 microframes

This may cause the xHCI host hardware to reject the Configure Endpoint
command, which means the HS device will be unusable under xHCI ports.
