Revert "usb: xhci: Link TRB must not occur within a USB payload burst"

2014-02-22T21:32:28Z

commit 3d4b81eda2211f32886e2978daf6f39885042fc4 upstream. This reverts commit 35773dac5f862cb1c82ea151eba3e2f6de51ec3e. It's a hack that caused regressions in the usb-storage and userspace USB drivers that use usbfs and libusb. Commit 70cabb7d992f "xhci 1.0: Limit arbitrarily-aligned scatter gather." should fix the issues seen with the ax88179_178a driver on xHCI 1.0 hosts, without causing regressions.

usb: xhci: Link TRB must not occur within a USB payload burst

2013-12-20T15:48:55Z

commit 35773dac5f862cb1c82ea151eba3e2f6de51ec3e upstream. Section 4.11.7.1 of rev 1.0 of the xhci specification states that a link TRB can only occur at a boundary between underlying USB frames (512 bytes for high speed devices). If this isn't done the USB frames aren't formatted correctly and, for example, the USB3 ethernet ax88179_178a card will stop sending (while still receiving) when running a netperf tcp transmit test with (say) and 8k buffer. This should be a candidate for stable, the ax88179_178a driver defaults to gso and tso enabled so it passes a lot of fragmented skb to the USB stack. Notes from Sarah: Discussion: http://marc.info/?l=linux-usb&m=138384509604981&w=2 This patch fixes a long-standing xHCI driver bug that was revealed by a change in 3.12 in the usb-net driver. Commit 638c5115a794981441246fa8fa5d95c1875af5ba "USBNET: support DMA SG" added support to use bulk endpoint scatter-gather (urb->sg). Only the USB ethernet drivers trigger this bug, because the mass storage driver sends sg list entries in page-sized chunks. This patch only fixes the issue for bulk endpoint scatter-gather. The problem will still occur for periodic endpoints, because hosts will interpret no-op transfers as a request to skip a service interval, which is not what we want. Luckily, the USB core isn't set up for scatter-gather on isochronous endpoints, and no USB drivers use scatter-gather for interrupt endpoints. Document this known limitation so that developers won't try to use urb->sg for interrupt endpoints until this issue is fixed. The more comprehensive fix would be to allow link TRBs in the middle of the endpoint ring and revert this patch, but that fix would touch too much code to be allowed in for stable. This patch should be backported to kernels as old as 3.12, that contain the commit 638c5115a794981441246fa8fa5d95c1875af5ba "USBNET: support DMA SG". Without this patch, the USB network device gets wedged, and stops sending packets.

usb: Don't enable USB 2.0 Link PM by default.

2013-11-29T19:28:09Z

commit de68bab4fa96014cfaa6fcbcdb9750e32969fb86 upstream. How it's supposed to work: -------------------------- USB 2.0 Link PM is a lower power state that some newer USB 2.0 devices support. USB 3.0 devices certified by the USB-IF are required to support it if they are plugged into a USB 2.0 only port, or a USB 2.0 cable is used. USB 2.0 Link PM requires both a USB device and a host controller that supports USB 2.0 hardware-enabled LPM. USB 2.0 Link PM is designed to be enabled once by software, and the host hardware handles transitions to the L1 state automatically. The premise of USB 2.0 Link PM is to be able to put the device into a lower power link state when the bus is idle or the device NAKs USB IN transfers for a specified amount of time. ...but hardware is broken: -------------------------- It turns out many USB 3.0 devices claim to support USB 2.0 Link PM (by setting the LPM bit in their USB 2.0 BOS descriptor), but they don't actually implement it correctly. This manifests as the USB device refusing to respond to transfers when it is plugged into a USB 2.0 only port under the Haswell-ULT/Lynx Point LP xHCI host. These devices pass the xHCI driver's simple test to enable USB 2.0 Link PM, wait for the port to enter L1, and then bring it back into L0. They only start to break when L1 entry is interleaved with transfers. Some devices then fail to respond to the next control transfer (usually a Set Configuration). This results in devices never enumerating. Other mass storage devices (such as a later model Western Digital My Passport USB 3.0 hard drive) respond fine to going into L1 between control transfers. They ACK the entry, come out of L1 when the host needs to send a control transfer, and respond properly to those control transfers. However, when the first READ10 SCSI command is sent, the device NAKs the data phase while it's reading from the spinning disk. Eventually, the host requests to put the link into L1, and the device ACKs that request. Then it never responds to the data phase of the READ10 command. This results in not being able to read from the drive. Some mass storage devices (like the Corsair Survivor USB 3.0 flash drive) are well behaved. They ACK the entry into L1 during control transfers, and when SCSI commands start coming in, they NAK the requests to go into L1, because they need to be at full power. Not all USB 3.0 devices advertise USB 2.0 link PM support. My Point Grey USB 3.0 webcam advertises itself as a USB 2.1 device, but doesn't have a USB 2.0 BOS descriptor, so we don't enable USB 2.0 Link PM. I suspect that means the device isn't certified. What do we do about it? ----------------------- There's really no good way for the kernel to test these devices. Therefore, the kernel needs to disable USB 2.0 Link PM by default, and distros will have to enable it by writing 1 to the sysfs file /sys/bus/usb/devices/../power/usb2_hardware_lpm. Rip out the xHCI Link PM test, since it's not sufficient to detect these buggy devices, and don't automatically enable LPM after the device is addressed. This patch should be backported to kernels as old as 3.11, that contain the commit a558ccdcc71c7770c5e80c926a31cfe8a3892a09 "usb: xhci: add USB2 Link power management BESL support". Without this fix, some USB 3.0 devices will not enumerate or work properly under USB 2.0 ports on Haswell-ULT systems. Signed-off-by: Sarah Sharp Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

USB: introduce usb_device_no_sg_constraint() helper

2013-08-12T18:56:16Z

Some host controllers(such as xHCI) can support building packet from discontinuous buffers, so introduce one flag and helper for this kind of host controllers, then the feature can help some applications(such as usbnet) by supporting arbitrary length of sg buffers.

usb: clamp bInterval to allowed range

2013-07-25T18:49:30Z

bInterval must be within the range 1 - 16 when running at High/Super speed, and within the range 1 - 255 when running at Full/Low speed. In order to catch drivers passing a too large bInterval on Super/High speed scenarios (thus overflowing urb->interval), let's clamp() the argument to the allowed ranges.

USB: check sg buffer size in usb_submit_urb

2013-07-24T22:52:43Z

USB spec stats that short packet can only appear at the end of transfer. Because lost of HC(EHCI/UHCI/OHCI/...) can't build a full packet from discontinuous buffers, we introduce the limit in usb_submit_urb() to avoid such kind of bad sg buffers coming from driver. The limit might be a bit strict: - platform has iommu to do sg list mapping - some host controllers may support to build full packet from discontinuous buffers. But considered that most of HCs don't support that, and driver need work well or keep consistent on different HCs and ARCHs, we have to introduce the limit. Currently, only usbtest is reported to pass such sg buffers to HC, and other users(mass storage, usbfs) don't have the problem. We don't check it on USB wireless device, because: - wireless devices can't be attached to common USB bus(EHCI/UHCI/OHCI/...) - the max packet size of endpoint may be odd, and often can't devide 4KB which is a typical usage in usb mass storage application Reported-by: Konstantin Filatov Reported-by: Denis V.

USB: move the definition of USB_MAXCHILDREN

2013-07-16T22:33:02Z

The USB_MAXCHILDREN symbol is used in include/uapi/linux/usb/ch11.h, a user-mode header, even though it is defined in include/linux/usb.h, which is kernel-only. This causes compile-time errors when user programs try to #include linux/usb/ch11.h. This patch fixes the problem by moving the definition of USB_MAXCHILDREN into ch11.h. It also gets rid of unneeded parentheses. Signed-off-by: Alan Stern Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman
