2018-09-28usb: host: Replace empty define with do whileCorentin Labbe1-1/+1
It's dangerous to use empty code define. Furthermore it lead to the following warning: "suggest braces around empty body in an « else » statement" So let's replace emptyness by "do {} while(0)" Furthermore, as suggested by Joe Perches, rename the macro to INCR.

2017-11-07USB: host: ehci: Remove redundant license textGreg Kroah-Hartman1-10/+0
Now that the SPDX tag is in all USB files, that identifies the license in a specific and legally-defined manner. So the extra GPL text wording can be removed as it is no longer needed at all. This is done on a quest to remove the 700+ different ways that files in the kernel describe the GPL license text. And there's unneeded stuff like the address (sometimes incorrect) for the FSF which is never needed. No copyright headers or other non-license-description text was removed.

2017-11-04USB: add SPDX identifiers to all remaining files in drivers/usb/Greg Kroah-Hartman1-0/+1
It's good to have SPDX identifiers in all files to make it easier to audit the kernel tree for correct licenses. Update the drivers/usb/ and include/linux/usb* files with the correct SPDX license identifier based on the license text in the file itself. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This work is based on a script and data from Thomas Gleixner, Philippe Ombredanne, and Kate Stewart.

ktime_set(S,N) was required for the timespec storage type and is still useful for situations where a Seconds and Nanoseconds part of a time value needs to be converted.

2016-12-25ktime: Get rid of the unionThomas Gleixner1-1/+1
ktime is a union because the initial implementation stored the time in scalar nanoseconds on 64 bit machine and in a endianess optimized timespec variant for 32bit machines. The Y2038 cleanup removed the timespec variant and switched everything to scalar nanoseconds. The union remained, but become completely pointless. Get rid of the union and just keep ktime_t as simple typedef of type s64. The conversion was done with coccinelle and some manual mopping up.

2016-02-04USB: EHCI: add a delay when unlinking an active QHAlan Stern1-0/+2
Michael Reutman reports that an AMD/ATI EHCI host controller on one of his computers does not stop transferring data when an active bulk QH is unlinked from the async schedule. Apparently that host controller fails to implement the IAA mechanism correctly when an active QH is unlinked. This leads to data corruption, because the controller continues to update the QH in memory when the driver doesn't expect it. As a result, the next URB submitted for that QH can hang, because the link pointers for the TD queue have been messed up. This misbehavior is observed quite regularly. To be fair, the EHCI spec (section 4.8.2) says that active QHs should not be unlinked. It goes on to recommend a procedure that involves waiting for the QH to go inactive before unlinking it. In the real world this is impractical, not least because the QH may _never_ go inactive. (What were they thinking?) Sometimes we have no choice but to unlink an active QH. In an attempt to avoid the problems that can ensue, this patch changes how the driver decides when the unlink is complete. In addition to waiting through two IAA cycles, in cases where the QH was not known to be inactive beforehand we now wait until a 2-ms period has elapsed with the host controller making no change to the QH data structure (the hw_current and hw_token fields in particular). The intuition here is that after such a long period, the endpoint must be NAKing and hopefully the QH has been dropped from the host controller's internal cache. There's no way to know if this reasoning is really valid -- the spec is no help in this regard -- but at least this approach fixes Michael's problem. The test for whether the QH is already known to be inactive involves the reason for unlinking the QH originally. If it was unlinked because it had halted, or it stopped in response to a short read, or it overlaid a dummy TD (a silicon bug), then it certainly is inactive. If it was unlinked because the TD queue was empty and no TDs have been added to the queue in the meantime, then it must be inactive. Or if the hardware status indicates that the QH is currently halted (even if that wasn't the reason for unlinking it), then it is inactive. Otherwise, if none of those checks apply, we go through the 2-ms delay.

2016-02-04USB: EHCI: improve handling of the ehci->iaa_in_progress flagAlan Stern1-1/+1
This patch improves the way ehci-hcd handles the iaa_in_progress flag. The current code is somewhat careless in this regard: The flag is meaningless when the root hub isn't running, most particularly after the root hub has been suspended. But in start_iaa_cycle(), the driver checks the flag before checking the root hub's state. They should be checked in the opposite order. That routine also sets the flag too early, before it has definitely committed to starting an IAA cycle. The flag is turned off in end_unlink_async(). Upcoming changes will call that routine at other times, not just at the end of an IAA cycle. The two actions are logically separate (although related), so we separate out a new routine to be called in place of end_unlink_async() whenever an IAA cycle ends: end_iaa_cycle(). iaa_in_progress should be turned off when the root hub is suspended -- we certainly don't want it still to be set when the root hub resumes. Therefore the call to end_unlink_async() in ehci_bus_suspend() should also be replaced with a call to end_iaa_cycle().

2013-08-12USB: EHCI: improve interrupt qh unlinkMing Lei1-1/+33
ehci-hcd currently unlinks an interrupt QH when it becomes empty, that is, after its last URB completes. This works well because in almost all cases, the completion handler for an interrupt URB resubmits the URB; therefore the QH doesn't become empty and doesn't get unlinked. When we start using tasklets for URB completion, this scheme won't work as well. The resubmission won't occur until the tasklet runs, which will be some time after the completion is queued with the tasklet. During that delay, the QH will be empty and so will be unlinked unnecessarily. To prevent this problem, this patch adds a 5-ms time delay before empty interrupt QHs are unlinked. Most often, during that time the interrupt URB will be resubmitted and thus we can avoid unlinking the QH.

2013-03-26USB: EHCI: improve end_unlink_async()Alan Stern1-1/+1
This patch (as1665) changes the way ehci-hcd's end_unlink_async() routine works in order to avoid recursive execution and to be more efficient: Now when an IAA cycle ends, a new one gets started up right away (if it is needed) instead of waiting until the just-unlinked QH has been processed. The async_iaa list is renamed to async_idle, which better expresses its new purpose: It is now the list of QHs which are now completely idle and are waiting to be processed by end_unlink_async(). A new flag is added to track whether an IAA cycle is in progress, because the list formerly known as async_iaa no longer stores the QHs waiting for the IAA to finish. The decision about how many QHs to process when an IAA cycle ends is now made at the end of the cycle, when we know the current state of the hardware, rather than at the beginning. This means a bunch of logic got moved from start_iaa_cycle() to end_unlink_async().

2013-03-26USB: EHCI: convert singly-linked lists to list_headsAlan Stern1-5/+6
This patch (as1664) converts ehci-hcd's async_unlink, async_iaa, and intr_unlink from singly-linked lists to standard doubly-linked list_heads. Originally it didn't seem necessary to use list_heads, because items are always added to and removed from these lists in FIFO order. But now with more list processing going on, it's easier to use the standard routines than continue with a roll-your-own approach. I don't know if the code ends up being notably shorter, but the patterns will be more familiar to any kernel hacker.

2013-03-21USB: EHCI: fix regression in QH unlinkingAlan Stern1-1/+1
This patch (as1670) fixes a regression caused by commit 6402c796d3b4205d3d7296157956c5100a05d7d6 (USB: EHCI: work around silicon bug in Intel's EHCI controllers). The workaround goes through two IAA cycles for each QH being unlinked. During the first cycle, the QH is not added to the async_iaa list (because it isn't fully gone from the hardware yet), which means that list will be empty. Unfortunately, I forgot to update the IAA watchdog timer routine. It thinks that an empty async_iaa list means the timer expiration was an error, which isn't true any more. This problem didn't show up during initial testing because the controllers being tested all had working IAA interrupts. But not all controllers do, and when the watchdog timer expires, the empty-list check prevents the second IAA cycle from starting. As a result, URB unlinks never complete. The check needs to be removed. Among the symptoms of the regression are processes stuck in D wait states and hangs during system shutdown.

Expiration of the IAA watchdog is an unusual event and can lead to problems; we need to know about it if it happens during debugging. It should not be necessary to set a "verbose" compilation option. No behavioral changes other than the debug message. Lots of apparent changes to the source text, though, because the indentation level was decreased.

2013-03-19USB: EHCI: decrease schedule-status poll timeoutAlan Stern1-4/+4
This patch (as1657) decreases the timeout used by ehci-hcd for polling the async and periodic schedule statuses. The timeout is currently set to 20 ms, which is much too high. Controllers should always update the schedule status within one or two ms of being told to do so; if they don't then something is wrong. Furthermore, bug reports have shown that sometimes controllers (particularly those made by VIA) don't update the status bit at all, even when the schedule does change state. When this happens, polling for 20 ms would cause an unnecessarily long delay. The delay is reduced to somewhere between 2 and 4 ms, depending on the slop allowed by the kernel's high-res timers.

2013-02-27USB: EHCI: revert "remove ASS/PSS polling timeout"Alan Stern1-15/+14
This patch (as1649) reverts commit 55bcdce8a8228223ec4d17d8ded8134ed265d2c5 (USB: EHCI: remove ASS/PSS polling timeout). That commit was written under the assumption that some controllers may take a very long time to turn off their async and periodic schedules. It now appears that in fact the schedules do get turned off reasonably quickly, but some controllers occasionally leave the schedules' status bits turned on and consequently ehci-hcd can't tell that the schedules are off. VIA controllers in particular have this problem. ehci-hcd tells the hardware to turn off the async schedule, the schedule does get turned off, but the status bit remains on. Since the EHCI spec requires that the schedules not be re-enabled until the previous disable has taken effect, with an unlimited timeout the async schedule never gets turned back on. The resulting symptom is that the system is unable to communicate with USB devices.

2013-01-26USB: EHCI: remove ASS/PSS polling timeoutAlan Stern1-14/+15
This patch (as1647) attempts to work around a problem that seems to affect some nVidia EHCI controllers. They sometimes take a very long time to turn off their async or periodic schedules. I don't know if this is a result of other problems, but in any case it seems wise not to depend on schedule enables or disables taking effect in any specific length of time. The patch removes the existing 20-ms timeout for enabling and disabling the schedules. The driver will now continue to poll the schedule state at 1-ms intervals until the controller finally decides to obey the most recent command issued by the driver. Just in case this hides a problem, a debugging message will be logged if the controller takes longer than 20 polls. I don't know if this will actually fix anything, but it can't hurt.

The log messages occur when an EHCI controller takes too long (more than 20 ms) to turn its async or periodic schedule on or off. If this happens at all, it's liable to happen quite often and there's no point spamming the system log with these warnings.

This patch (as1586) replaces the kernel timer used by ehci-hcd as an I/O watchdog with an hrtimer event. Unlike in the current code, the watchdog event is now always enabled whenever any isochronous URBs are active. This will prevent bugs caused by the periodic schedule wrapping around with no completion interrupts; the watchdog handler is guaranteed to scan the isochronous transfers at least once during each iteration of the schedule. The extra overhead will be negligible: one timer interrupt every 100 ms. Signed-off-by: Alan Stern <stern@rowland.harvard.edu> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
2012-07-17USB: EHCI: always scan each interrupt QHAlan Stern1-6/+1
This patch (as1585) fixes a bug in ehci-hcd's scheme for scanning interrupt QHs. Currently a single routine takes care of scanning everything on the periodic schedule. Whenever an interrupt occurs, it scans all isochronous and interrupt URBs scheduled for frames that have elapsed since the last scan. This has two disadvantages. The first is relatively minor: An interrupt QH is likely to end up getting scanned multiple times, particularly if the last scan was not fairly recent. (The current code avoids this by maintaining a periodic_stamp in each interrupt QH.) The second is more serious. The periodic schedule wraps around. If the last scan occurred during frame N, and the next scan occurs when the schedule has gone through an entire cycle and is back at frame N, the scanning code won't look at any frames other than N. Consequently it won't see any QHs that completed during frame N-1 or earlier. The patch replaces the entire frame-based approach for scanning interrupt QHs with a new routine using a list-based approach, the same as for async QHs. This has a slight disadvantage, because it means that all interrupt QHs have to be scanned every time. But it is more robust than the current approach.

This patch (as1583) changes ehci-hcd to use an hrtimer event for unlinking empty (unused) async QHs instead of using a kernel timer.

2012-07-17USB: EHCI: unlink multiple async QHs togetherAlan Stern1-1/+2
This patch (as1582) changes ehci-hcd's strategy for unlinking async QHs. Currently the driver never unlinks more than one QH at a time. This can be inefficient and cause unnecessary delays, since a QH cannot be reused while it is waiting to be unlinked. The new strategy unlinks all the waiting QHs at once. In practice the improvement won't be very big, because it's somewhat uncommon to have two or more QHs waiting to be unlinked at any time. But it does happen, and in any case, doing things this way makes more sense IMO. The change requires the async unlinking code to be refactored slightly. Now in addition to the routines for starting and ending an unlink, there are new routines for unlinking a single QH and starting an IAA cycle. This approach is needed because there are two separate paths for unlinking async QHs: When a transfer error occurs or an URB is cancelled, the QH must be unlinked right away; When a QH has been idle sufficiently long, it is unlinked to avoid consuming DMA bandwidth uselessly. In the first case we want the unlink to proceed as quickly as possible, whereas in the second case we can afford to batch several QHs together and unlink them all at once. Hence the division of labor. Signed-off-by: Alan Stern <stern@rowland.harvard.edu> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

2012-07-17USB: EHCI: use hrtimer for (s)iTD deallocationAlan Stern1-4/+46
This patch (as1579) adds an hrtimer event to handle deallocation of iTDs and siTDs in ehci-hcd. Because of the frame-oriented approach used by the EHCI periodic schedule, the hardware can continue to access the Transfer Descriptor for isochronous (or split-isochronous) transactions for up to a millisecond after the transaction completes. The iTD (or siTD) must not be reused before then. The strategy currently used involves putting completed iTDs on a list of cached entries and every so often returning them to the endpoint's free list. The new strategy reduces overhead by putting completed iTDs back on the free list immediately, although they are not reused until it is safe to do so. When the isochronous endpoint stops (its queue becomes empty), the iTDs on its free list get moved to a global list, from which they will be deallocated after a minimum of 2 ms. This delay is what the new hrtimer event is for. Overall this may not be a tremendous improvement over the current code, but to me it seems a lot more clear and logical. In addition, it removes the need for each iTD to keep a reference to the ehci_iso_stream it belongs to, since the iTD never needs to be moved back to the stream's free list from the global list.

One event polls at 1-ms intervals to see when the Asynchronous Schedule Status (ASS) flag matches the Asynchronous Schedule Enable (ASE) value; the schedule's state must not be changed until it does. The other event delays for 15 ms after the async schedule becomes empty before turning it off. The new events replace a busy-wait poll and a kernel timer usage. They also replace the rather illogical method currently used for indicating the async schedule should be turned off: attempting to unlink the dedicated QH at the head of the async list.

2012-07-17USB: EHCI: use hrtimer for the periodic scheduleAlan Stern1-0/+80
This patch (as1573) adds hrtimer support for managing ehci-hcd's periodic schedule. There are two issues to deal with. First, the schedule's state (on or off) must not be changed until the hardware status has caught up with the current command. This is handled by an hrtimer event that polls at 1-ms intervals to see when the Periodic Schedule Status (PSS) flag matches the Periodic Schedule Enable (PSE) value. Second, the schedule should not be turned off as soon as it becomes empty. Turning the schedule on and off takes time, so we want to wait until the schedule has been empty for a suitable period before turning it off. This is handled by an hrtimer event that gets set to expire 10 ms after the periodic schedule becomes empty. The existing code polls (for up to 1125 us and with interrupts disabled!) to check the status, and doesn't implement a delay before turning off the schedule. Furthermore, if the polling fails then the driver decides that the controller has died. This has caused problems for several people; some controllers can take 10 ms or more to turn off their periodic schedules. This patch fixes these issues. It also makes the "broken_periodic" workaround unnecessary; there is no longer any danger of turning off the periodic schedule after it has been on for less than 1 ms.

2012-07-17USB: EHCI: introduce high-res timerAlan Stern1-0/+106
This patch (as1572) begins the conversion of ehci-hcd over to using high-resolution timers rather than old-fashioned low-resolution kernel timers. This reduces overhead caused by timer roundoff on systems where HZ is smaller than 1000. Also, the new timer framework introduced here is much more logical and easily extended than the ad-hoc approach ehci-hcd currently uses for timers. An hrtimer structure is added to ehci_hcd, along with a bitflag array and an array of ktime_t values, to keep track of which timing events are pending and what their expiration times are. Only the infrastructure for the timing operations is added in this patch. Later patches will add routines for handling each of the various timing events the driver needs. In some cases the new hrtimer handlers will replace the existing handlers for ehci-hcd's kernel timers; as this happens the old timers will be removed. In other cases the new timing events will replace busy-wait loops. Signed-off-by: Alan Stern <stern@rowland.harvard.edu> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
