hi all: I am writing a thread and it will call sd_check_events per 1 second. 1. before system goes to hibernate, the thread works fine 2. system hibernate and restore back. 3. udev->state will keep USB_STATE_SUSPENDED before finish_port_resume 4. during above 2) and 3) sd_check_events keep polling but get transport error and call usb_stor_port_reset. since udev->state is USB_STATE_SUSPENDED, the usb_stor_port_reset will fail due to unable lock device for reset (error = -113) 5. in finish_port_resume, it first change udev->state as USB_STATE_CONFIGURED or USB_STATE_ADDRESS. then call usb_reset_and_verify_device like below: usb_set_device_state(udev, udev->actconfig ? USB_STATE_CONFIGURED : USB_STATE_ADDRESS); /* 10.5.4.5 says not to reset a suspended port if the attached * device is enabled for remote wakeup. Hence the reset * operation is carried out here, after the port has been * resumed. */ if (udev->reset_resume) retry_reset_resume: status = usb_reset_and_verify_device(udev); 6. usb_reset_and_verify_device will call hub_port_init 7. usb_reset_and_verify_device will call descriptors_changed, 8. if sd_check_events polling again in during 6) and 7), descriptors_changed may return true and report port resume fail. My questions are: a. is there any system flag such suspend/resume in scsi layer for checking before sending command to downlayer driver, such as usb. b. shall we add other flag in usb_stor_port_reset to make sure above race condition will not happen? appreciate your kind help, -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
