    USB: xhci: Work around for chain bit in link TRBs. · b0567b3f
    Sarah Sharp 提交于
    Different sections of the xHCI 0.95 specification had opposing
    requirements for the chain bit in a link transaction request buffer (TRB).
    The chain bit is used to designate that adjacent TRBs are all part of the
    same scatter gather list that should be sent to the device.  Link TRBs can
    be in the middle, or at the beginning or end of these chained TRBs.
    
    Sections 4.11.5.1 and 6.4.4.1 both stated the link TRB "shall have the
    chain bit set to 1", meaning it is always chained to the next TRB.
    However, section 4.6.9 on the stop endpoint command has specific cases for
    what the hardware must do for a link TRB with the chain bit set to 0.  The
    0.96 specification errata later cleared up this issue by fixing the
    4.11.5.1 and 6.4.4.1 sections to state that a link TRB can have the chain
    bit set to 1 or 0.
    
    The problem is that the xHCI cancellation code depends on the chain bit of
    the link TRB being cleared when it's at the end of a TD, and some 0.95
    xHCI hardware simply stops processing the ring when it encounters a link
    TRB with the chain bit cleared.
    
    Allow users who are testing 0.95 xHCI prototypes to set a module parameter
    (link_quirk) to turn on this link TRB work around.  Cancellation may not
    work if the ring is stopped exactly on a link TRB with chain bit set, but
    cancellation should be a relatively uncommon case.
