    xHCI: AMD isoc link TRB chain bit quirk · 7e393a83
    Andiry Xu 提交于
    Setting the chain (CH) bit in the link TRB of isochronous transfer rings
    is required by AMD 0.96 xHCI host controller to successfully transverse
    multi-TRB TD that span through different memory segments.
    
    When a Missed Service Error event occurs, if the chain bit is not set in
    the link TRB and the host skips TDs which just across a link TRB, the
    host may falsely recognize the link TRB as a normal TRB. You can see
    this may cause big trouble - the host does not jump to the right address
    which is pointed by the link TRB, but continue fetching the memory which
    is after the link TRB address, which may not even belong to the host,
    and the result cannot be predicted.
    
    This causes some big problems. Without the former patch I sent: "xHCI:
    prevent infinite loop when processing MSE event", the system may hang.
    With that patch applied, system does not hang, but the host still access
    wrong memory address and isoc transfer will fail. With this patch,
    isochronous transfer works as expected.
    
    This patch should be applied to kernels as old as 2.6.36, which was when
    the first isochronous support was added for the xHCI host controller.
