      USB: EHCI: don't send Clear-TT-Buffer following a STALL · c2f6595f
      Alan Stern 提交于
      This patch (as1304) fixes a regression in ehci-hcd.  Evidently some
      hubs don't handle Clear-TT-Buffer requests correctly, so we should
      avoid sending them when they don't appear to be absolutely necessary.
      The reported symptom is that output on a downstream audio device cuts
      out because the hub stops relaying isochronous packets.
      
      The patch prevents Clear-TT-Buffer requests from being sent following
      a STALL handshake.  In theory a STALL indicates either that the
      downstream device sent a STALL or that no matching TT buffer could be
      found.  In either case, the transfer is completed and the TT buffer
      does not remain busy, so it doesn't need to be cleared.
      
      Also, the patch fixes a minor flaw in the code that actually sends the
      Clear-TT-Buffer requests.  Although the pipe direction isn't really
      used for control transfers, it should be a Send rather than a Receive.

      USB: EHCI: change deschedule logic for interrupt QHs · a448c9d8
      Alan Stern 提交于
      This patch (as1281) changes the way ehci-hcd deschedules interrupt
      QHs, copying the approach used for async QHs.  The caller is no longer
      responsible for rescheduling the QH if its queue is non-empty; instead
      the reschedule is done directly by intr_deschedule(), after calling
      qh_completions().  This is exactly the same as how end_unlink_async()
      works.
      
      ehci_urb_dequeue() and intr_deschedule() now correctly handle the case
      where they are called while another interrupt URB for the same QH is
      being given back.  This was a surprisingly large blind spot.  And
      scan_periodic() now respects the new needs_rescan flag.

      USB: EHCI: rescan the queue after an unlink · 3a44494e
      Alan Stern 提交于
      This patch (as1280) fixes an obscure bug in ehci-hcd's dequeuing logic
      for async URBs.  If a later URB is unlinked and the completion
      routine unlinks an earlier URB, then the earlier URB won't be given
      back in a timely manner because the endpoint queue isn't rescanned as
      it should be.
      
      Similar bugs occur if an endpoint is reset or a halt is cleared while
      a completion routine is running, because the subroutines don't test
      for the COMPLETING state.
      
      All these problems are solved by adding a new needs_rescan flag to the
      ehci_qh structure.  If the flag is set while scanning through an idle
      QH, the scan will be repeated.  If the QH isn't idle then an unlink
      cycle will be initiated, and the proper action will be taken when it
      becomes idle.
      
      Also, an unnecessary test is removed from qh_link_async(): That
      routine is never called if the QH's state isn't IDLE.

      The ehci_qh structure merged hw and sw together which is not good:
      1. More and more items are being added into ehci_qh, the ehci_qh software

      2. If HCD has local SRAM, the sw part will consume it too, and it won't
         bring any benefit.
      3. For non-cache-coherence system, the entire ehci_qh is uncachable, actually
         we only need the hw part to be uncacheable. Spliting them will let the sw
         part to be cacheable.

      USB: EHCI: check for STALL before other errors · ba516de3
      Alan Stern 提交于
      This patch (as1257) revises the way ehci-hcd detects STALLs.  The
      logic is a little peculiar because there's no hardware status bit
      specifically meant to indicate a STALL.  You just have to guess that a
      STALL was received if the BABBLE bit (which is fatal) isn't set and
      the transfer stopped before all its retries were used up.
      
      The existing code doesn't do this properly, because it tests for MMF
      (Missed MicroFrame) and DBE (Data Buffer Error) before testing the
      retry counter.  Thus, if a transaction gets either MMF or DBE the
      corresponding flag is set and the transaction is retried.  If the
      second attempt receives a STALL then -EPIPE is the correct return
      value.  But the existing code would see the MMF or DBE flag instead
      and return -EPROTO, -ENOSR, or -ECOMM.

      USB: fix the clear_tt_buffer interface · cb88a1b8
      Alan Stern 提交于
      This patch (as1255) updates the interface for calling
      usb_hub_clear_tt_buffer().  Even the name of the function is changed!
      
      When an async URB (i.e., Control or Bulk) going through a high-speed
      hub to a non-high-speed device is cancelled or fails, the hub's
      Transaction Translator buffer may be left busy still trying to
      complete the transaction.  The buffer has to be cleared; that's what
      usb_hub_clear_tt_buffer() does.
      
      It isn't safe to send any more URBs to the same endpoint until the TT
      buffer is fully clear.  Therefore the HCD needs to be told when the
      Clear-TT-Buffer request has finished.  This patch adds a callback
      method to struct hc_driver for that purpose, and makes the hub driver
      invoke the callback at the proper time.
      
      The patch also changes a couple of names; "hub_tt_kevent" and
      "tt.kevent" now look rather antiquated.

      USB: EHCI: update toggle state for linked QHs · a455212d
      Alan Stern 提交于
      This is an update to the "usb-ehci-update-toggle-state-for-linked-qhs"
      patch.  Since an HCD's endpoint_reset method can be called in
      interrupt context, it mustn't assume that interrupts are enabled or
      that it can sleep.
      
      So we revert to the original way of refreshing QHs' toggle bits.  Now
      the endpoint_reset method merely clears the toggle flag in the device
      structure (as was done before) and starts an async QH unlink.  When the
      QH is linked again, after the unlink finishes and an URB is queued,
      the qh_refresh() routine will update the QH's toggle bit.

      USB: EHCI: update toggle state for linked QHs · b18ffd49
      Alan Stern 提交于
      This patch (as1245) fixes a bug in ehci-hcd.  When an URB is queued
      for an endpoint whose QH is already in the LINKED state, the QH
      doesn't get refreshed.  As a result, if usb_clear_halt() was called
      during the time that the QH was linked but idle, the data toggle value
      in the QH doesn't get reset.
      
      The symptom is that after a clear_halt, data gets lost and transfers
      time out.  This problem is starting to show up now because the
      "ehci-hcd unlink speedups" patch causes QHs with no queued URBs to
      remain linked for a suitable time.
      
      The patch utilizes the new endpoint_reset mechanism to fix the
      problem.  When an endpoint is reset, the new method forcibly unlinks
      the QH (if necessary) and safely updates the toggle value.  This
      allows qh_update() to be simplified and avoids using usb_device's
      toggle bits in a rather unintuitive way.

      USB: EHCI: add software retry for transaction errors · a2c2706e

      This patch (as1204) adds a software retry mechanism to ehci-hcd.  It

      USB: ehci-hcd unlink speedups · b9638011
      David Brownell 提交于
      This patch fixes some performance bugs observed with some workloads
      when unlinking EHCI queue header (QH) descriptors from the async ring
      (control/bulk schedule).
      
      The mechanism intended to defer unlinking an empty QH (so there is no
      penalty in common cases where it's quickly reused) was not working as
      intended.  Sometimes the unlink was scheduled:
      
       - too quickly ... which can be a *strong* negative effect, since
         that QH becomes unavailable for immediate re-use;
      
       - too slowly ... wasting DMA cycles, usually a minor issue except
         for increased bus contention and power usage;
      
      Plus there was an extreme case of "too slowly":  a logical error in the
      IAA watchdog-timer conversion meant that sometimes the unlink never
      got scheduled.
      
      The fix replaces a simple counter with a timestamp derived from the
      controller's 8 KHz microframe counter, and adjusts the timer usage
      for some issues associated with HZ being less than 8K.

      USB: EHCI: fix performance regression · fa38dfcc
      Alan Stern 提交于
      This patch (as1099) fixes a performance regression in ehci-hcd.  The
      fundamental problem is that queue headers get removed from the
      schedule too quickly, since the code checks for a counter advancing
      rather than making an actual time-based check.  The latency involved
      in removing the queue header and then relinking it can severely
      degrade certain kinds of workloads.
      
      The patch replaces a simple counter with a timestamp derived from the
      controller's uframe value.  In addition, the delay for unlinking an
      idle queue header is increased from 5 ms to 10 ms; since some
      controllers (nVidia) have a latency of up to 1 ms for unlinking, this
      reduces the relative impact from 20% to 10%.
      
      Finally, a logical error left over from the IAA watchdog-timer
      conversion is corrected.  Now the driver will always either unlink an
      idle queue header or set up a timer to unlink it later.  The old code
      would sometimes fail to do either.

      USB: ehci: qh_completions cleanup and bugfix · 4f667627
      David Brownell 提交于
      Simplify processing of completed qtds, and correct handling of short
      reads, by removing two state variables:
      
       - "qtd_status" wasn't needed.  The current URB's status is either
         OK (-EINPROGRESS) or some fault status.  Once a fault appears,
         the queue halts and any later QTDs are immediately removed, so
         no temporary status is needed.  (Or for typical short reads,
         it's not treated as a fault, so no queue halt is needed.)
      
       - "do_status" was erroneous.  Because of how the queue is set up,
         short control reads can (and should!) be treated like full size
         reads, and cleaned up the usual way.  The status stage will be
         executed transparently, and usbcore handles the choice of whether
         to report this status as unexected.
       
      The "do_status" problem caused a rather perplexing timing-dependent
      problem with usbtest case 10.  Sometimes it would make the controller
      skip a dozen transactions while (wrongly) trying to clean up after a
      short transfer.  Fortunately, removing a dcache contention issue made
      this become trivial to reproduce (on one test rig), so enough clues
      finally presented themselves ... I think this has been around for a
      very long time, but was worsened by recent urb->status changes.

      USB: make HCDs responsible for managing endpoint queues · e9df41c5
      Alan Stern 提交于
      This patch (as954) implements a suggestion of David Brownell's.  Now
      the host controller drivers are responsible for linking and unlinking
      URBs to/from their endpoint queues.  This eliminates the possiblity of
      strange situations where usbcore thinks an URB is linked but the HCD
      thinks it isn't.  It also means HCDs no longer have to check for URBs
      being dequeued before they were fully enqueued.
      
      In addition to the core changes, this requires changing every host
      controller driver and the root-hub URB handler.  For the most part the
      required changes are fairly small; drivers have to call
      usb_hcd_link_urb_to_ep() in their urb_enqueue method,
      usb_hcd_check_unlink_urb() in their urb_dequeue method, and
      usb_hcd_unlink_urb_from_ep() before giving URBs back.  A few HCDs make
      matters more complicated by the way they split up the flow of control.
      
      In addition some method interfaces get changed.  The endpoint argument
      for urb_enqueue is now redundant so it is removed.  The unlink status
      is required by usb_hcd_check_unlink_urb(), so it has been added to
      urb_dequeue.

      Revert "USB: EHCI cpufreq fix" · 8eb891fc
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      This reverts commit 196705c9.  It was
      reported to cause a regression by Daniel Exner, and Arjan van de Ven
      points out that we actually already have infrastructure in place for
      setting limits on acceptable DMA latency that would be the much more
      correct fix for the problem with some Broadcom EHCI controllers.
      
      Fixed up trivial conflicts due to the changes to support big-endian host
      controller descriptors in drivers/usb/host/{ehci-sched.c,ehci.h}.

      USB: EHCI support for big-endian descriptors · 6dbd682b
      Stefan Roese 提交于
      This patch implements supports for EHCI controllers whose in-memory
      data structures are represented in big-endian format. This is needed
      (unfortunately) for the AMCC PPC440EPx SoC EHCI controller; the EHCI
      spec doesn't specify little-endian format, although that's what most
      other implementations use.
      
      The guts of the patch are to introduce the hc32 type and change all
      references from le32 to hc32.  All access routines are converted from
      cpu_to_le32(...) to cpu_to_hc32(ehci, ...) and similar for the other
      "direction".  (This is the same approach used with OHCI.)
      
      David fixed:
      	Whitespace fixes; refresh against ehci cpufreq patch; move glue
      	for that PPC driver to the patch adding it; fix free symbol
      	capture bugs in modified "constant" macros; and make "hc32" etc
      	be "le32" unless we really need the BE options, so "sparse" can
      	do some real good.

      USB: EHCI cpufreq fix · 196705c9
      Stuart_Hayes@Dell.com 提交于
      EHCI controllers that don't cache enough microframes can get MMF errors
      when CPU frequency changes occur between the start and completion of
      split interrupt transactions, due to delays in reading main memory
      (caused by CPU cache snoop delays).
      
      This patch adds a cpufreq notifier to the EHCI driver that will
      inactivate split interrupt transactions during frequency transitions.
      It was tested on Intel ICH7 and Serverworks/Broadcom HT1000 EHCI
      controllers.

      IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlers · 7d12e780
      David Howells 提交于
      Maintain a per-CPU global "struct pt_regs *" variable which can be used instead
      of passing regs around manually through all ~1800 interrupt handlers in the
      Linux kernel.
      
      The regs pointer is used in few places, but it potentially costs both stack
      space and code to pass it around.  On the FRV arch, removing the regs parameter
      from all the genirq function results in a 20% speed up of the IRQ exit path
      (ie: from leaving timer_interrupt() to leaving do_IRQ()).
      
      Where appropriate, an arch may override the generic storage facility and do
      something different with the variable.  On FRV, for instance, the address is
      maintained in GR28 at all times inside the kernel as part of general exception
      handling.
      
      Having looked over the code, it appears that the parameter may be handed down
      through up to twenty or so layers of functions.  Consider a USB character
      device attached to a USB hub, attached to a USB controller that posts its
      interrupts through a cascaded auxiliary interrupt controller.  A character
      device driver may want to pass regs to the sysrq handler through the input
      layer which adds another few layers of parameter passing.
      
      I've build this code with allyesconfig for x86_64 and i386.  I've runtested the
      main part of the code on FRV and i386, though I can't test most of the drivers.
      I've also done partial conversion for powerpc and MIPS - these at least compile
      with minimal configurations.
      
      This will affect all archs.  Mostly the changes should be relatively easy.
      Take do_IRQ(), store the regs pointer at the beginning, saving the old one:
      
      	struct pt_regs *old_regs = set_irq_regs(regs);
      
      And put the old one back at the end:
      
      	set_irq_regs(old_regs);
      
      Don't pass regs through to generic_handle_irq() or __do_IRQ().
      
      In timer_interrupt(), this sort of change will be necessary:
      
      	-	update_process_times(user_mode(regs));
      	-	profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING, regs);
      	+	update_process_times(user_mode(get_irq_regs()));
      	+	profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING);
      
      I'd like to move update_process_times()'s use of get_irq_regs() into itself,
      except that i386, alone of the archs, uses something other than user_mode().
      
      Some notes on the interrupt handling in the drivers:
      
       (*) input_dev() is now gone entirely.  The regs pointer is no longer stored in
           the input_dev struct.
      
       (*) finish_unlinks() in drivers/usb/host/ohci-q.c needs checking.  It does
           something different depending on whether it's been supplied with a regs
           pointer or not.
      
       (*) Various IRQ handler function pointers have been moved to type
           irq_handler_t.
