[RFC/PATCH v2] usb: host: xhci: issue 'Reset Endpoint' for !CONTROL EPs from finish_td()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



If class driver wants to SetFeature(ENDPOINT_HALT) and
later tries to talk to the stalled endpoint, xhci will
move endpoint to EP_STATE_STALL and subsequent usb_submit_urb()
will not cause a USB token to be shifted into the data lines.

Because of that, peripheral will never have any means of
STALLing a follow up token.

This is a known error at least with g_zero + testusb -t 13
and can be easily reproduced.

this is a second version of patch sent originally in January this
year [1].

I suppose this is still not the best fix (as noted on code comment below),
but it'll serve to restart the thread on what's the best way to fix this.

I thought about clearing endpoint halt if !control from prepare_ring(),
but I'm not entirely of the implications there either.

I'm adding stable to Cc for v3.14+ (which is the earlier kernel I could easily
run to reproduce this) but it's likely a much older bug. Still, if nobody other
than me complained until now, perhaps we don't care as much ?
