A USB 3.0 device can transition to the Inactive state if a U1 or U2 exit transition fails. The current code in hub_events simply issues a warm reset, but does not call any pre-reset or post-reset driver methods (or unbind/rebind drivers without them). Therefore the drivers won't know their device has just been reset. hub_events should instead call usb_reset_device. This means hub_port_reset now needs to figure out whether it should issue a warm reset or a hot reset. Remove the FIXME note about needing disconnect() for a NOTATTACHED device. This patch fixes that. Signed-off-by: Sarah Sharp <sarah.a.sharp@linux.intel.com> Acked-by: Alan Stern <stern@rowland.harvard.edu>

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.

The next patch will refactor the hub port code to rip out the recursive 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 usb_device will not be valid if warm reset was issued because a port transitioned to the Inactive or Compliance Mode on a device connect. This patch should have no effect on current behavior.

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. Don't down ehci_cf_port_reset_rwsem for USB 3.0 hubs. Signed-off-by: Sarah Sharp <sarah.a.sharp@linux.intel.com> Acked-by: Alan Stern <stern@rowland.harvard.edu>

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 0f2a7930 "USB: xhci: Root hub support." There will be merge conflicts because the check for HC_STATE_SUSPENDED was moved into xhci_suspend in 3.8.

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. This patch should be backported to all stable kernels.

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. This commit should be backported to kernels as old as 3.2, that contain the commit 75d7cf72 "usbcore: refine warm reset logic".

USB 3.0 hubs and roothubs will automatically transition a failed hot 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 hub_port_finish_reset to unconditionally clear those change bits for USB 3.0 hubs. If these bits are not cleared, we may lose port change events from the roothub.

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. This patch should be backported to kernels as old as 2.6.31, that contain commit dfa49c4a "USB: xhci - fix math in xhci_get_endpoint_interval()".

Introduce a field per_bio_data_size in struct dm_target. Targets can set this field in the constructor. If a target sets this field to a non-zero value, "per_bio_data_size" bytes of auxiliary data are allocated for each bio submitted to the target. These data can be used for any purpose by the target and help us improve performance by removing some per-target mempools. Per-bio data is accessed with dm_per_bio_data. The argument data_size must be the same as the value per_bio_data_size in dm_target. If the target has a pointer to per_bio_data, it can get a pointer to the bio with dm_bio_from_per_bio_data() function (data_size must be the same as the value passed to dm_per_bio_data).

Add WRITE SAME support to dm-io and make it accessible to dm_kcopyd_zero(). dm_kcopyd_zero() provides an asynchronous interface whereas the blkdev_issue_write_same() interface is synchronous. WRITE SAME is a SCSI command that can be leveraged for more efficient zeroing of a specified logical extent of a device which supports it. Only a single zeroed logical block is transfered to the target for each WRITE SAME and the target then writes that same block across the specified extent. The dm thin target uses this.

If the parameter buffer is small enough, try to allocate it with kmalloc() rather than vmalloc(). vmalloc is noticeably slower than kmalloc because it has to manipulate page tables. In my tests, on PA-RISC this patch speeds up activation 13 times. On Opteron this patch speeds up activation by 5%. This patch introduces a new function free_params() to free the parameters and this uses new flags that record whether or not vmalloc() was used and whether or not the input buffer must be wiped after use.
