Linux kernel stable tree (mirror) https://git.radix-linux.su/kernel/linux.git/atom?h=v3.15.2 2014-05-23T19:06:00+00:00 2014-05-23T19:06:00+00:00 Alan Stern stern@rowland.harvard.edu 2014-05-23T14:45:54+00:00 urn:sha1:8ef42ddd9a53b73e6fc3934278710c27f80f324f Not all host controller drivers have bus-suspend and bus-resume methods. When one doesn't, it will cause problems if runtime PM is enabled in the kernel. The PM core will attempt to suspend the controller's root hub, the suspend will fail because there is no bus-suspend routine, and a -EBUSY error code will be returned to the PM core. This will cause the suspend attempt to be repeated shortly thereafter, in a never-ending loop. Part of the problem is that the original error code -ENOENT gets changed to -EBUSY in usb_runtime_suspend(), on the grounds that the PM core will interpret -ENOENT as meaning that the root hub has gotten into a runtime-PM error state. While this change is appropriate for real USB devices, it's not such a good idea for a root hub. In fact, considering the root hub to be in a runtime-PM error state would not be far from the truth. Therefore this patch updates usb_runtime_suspend() so that it adjusts error codes only for non-root-hub devices. Furthermore, the patch attempts to prevent the problem from occurring in the first place by not enabling runtime PM by default for root hubs whose host controller driver doesn't have bus_suspend and bus_resume methods.

However, it turns out that this field gets set by usb_create_hcd(), before hcd-pci expects it, and this can result in a crash when two controllers are probed in parallel (as can happen when a new controller card is hotplugged). The companions_rwsem lock was supposed to prevent this sort of thing, but usb_create_hcd() is called outside the scope of the rwsem. A simple solution is to check that the root-hub pointer has been initialized as well as the drvdata field. This doesn't happen until usb_add_hcd() is called; that call and the check are both protected by the rwsem. This patch should be applied to stable kernels from 3.10 onward.

It may lose its firmware, its descriptors may change, or it may switch back to a default mode of operation. If a device does this, the kernel needs to avoid resetting it. Resets are likely to fail, or worse, succeed while changing the device's state in a way the system can't detect. This means we should disable the reset-resume mechanism whenever this quirk flag is present. An attempted reset-resume will fail, the device will be logically disconnected, and later on the hub driver will rediscover and re-enumerate the device. This will cause the appropriate udev events to be generated, so that userspace will have a chance to switch the device into its normal operating mode, if necessary.

The existing straightforward implementation can lead to problems, because each interface gets unbound and rebound before the next interface is handled. If a driver claims additional interfaces, the claim may fail because the old binding instance may still own the additional interface when the new instance tries to claim it. This patch fixes the problem by first unbinding all the interfaces that are marked (i.e., their needs_binding flag is set) and then rebinding all of them. The patch also makes the helper functions in driver.c a little more uniform and adjusts some out-of-date comments.
