While stress testing a usb controller using a bind/unbind looop, the following error loop was observed. usb 7-1.2: new low-speed USB device number 3 using xhci-hcd usb 7-1.2: hub failed to enable device, error -108 usb 7-1-port2: cannot disable (err = -22) usb 7-1-port2: couldn't allocate usb_device usb 7-1-port2: cannot disable (err = -22) hub 7-1:1.0: hub_ext_port_status failed (err = -22) hub 7-1:1.0: hub_ext_port_status failed (err = -22) hub 7-1:1.0: activate --> -22 hub 7-1:1.0: hub_ext_port_status failed (err = -22) hub 7-1:1.0: hub_ext_port_status failed (err = -22) hub 7-1:1.0: activate --> -22 hub 7-1:1.0: hub_ext_port_status failed (err = -22) hub 7-1:1.0: hub_ext_port_status failed (err = -22) hub 7-1:1.0: activate --> -22 hub 7-1:1.0: hub_ext_port_status failed (err = -22) hub 7-1:1.0: hub_ext_port_status failed (err = -22) hub 7-1:1.0: activate --> -22 hub 7-1:1.0: hub_ext_port_status failed (err = -22) hub 7-1:1.0: hub_ext_port_status failed (err = -22) hub 7-1:1.0: activate --> -22 hub 7-1:1.0: hub_ext_port_status failed (err = -22) hub 7-1:1.0: hub_ext_port_status failed (err = -22) hub 7-1:1.0: activate --> -22 hub 7-1:1.0: hub_ext_port_status failed (err = -22) hub 7-1:1.0: hub_ext_port_status failed (err = -22) hub 7-1:1.0: activate --> -22 hub 7-1:1.0: hub_ext_port_status failed (err = -22) hub 7-1:1.0: hub_ext_port_status failed (err = -22) hub 7-1:1.0: activate --> -22 hub 7-1:1.0: hub_ext_port_status failed (err = -22) hub 7-1:1.0: hub_ext_port_status failed (err = -22) ** 57 printk messages dropped ** hub 7-1:1.0: activate --> -22 ** 82 printk messages dropped ** hub 7-1:1.0: hub_ext_port_status failed (err = -22) This continues forever. After adding tracebacks into the code, the call sequence leading to this is found to be as follows.

This results in an endless sequence of hub event -> hub activate -> wq trigger -> hub event -> ... Provide two solutions for the problem. - Only trigger the hub event queue if communication with the hub is successful. - After a suspend failure, only resume already suspended interfaces if the communication with the device is still possible. Each of the changes fixes the observed problem. Use both to improve robustness. Acked-by: Alan Stern <stern@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Guenter Roeck <linux@xxxxxxxxxxxx> --- v4: Other code uses a space before labels in hub_activate(). Do the same for consistency. v3: In hub.c, abort immediately if hub_port_status() returns an error. Since hub_port_status() already logs the error, don't log it again. In device,c, log the error return value from usb_suspend_device() if usb_get_status() failed as well. Don't check if the hub is still accessible if the error returned from hub_port_status() is -EBUSY. v2: Instead of not triggering the hub wq after an error to submit an urb, implement a more complex error detection and handling. Do it in two places. Marked as RFC to determine if one (or both) of those solutions are viable. drivers/usb/core/driver.c | 18 ++++++++++++++++++ drivers/usb/core/hub.c | 5 ++++- 2 files changed, 22 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/usb/core/driver.c b/drivers/usb/core/driver.c index cdee5130638b..7ebdf2a4e8fe 100644 --- a/drivers/usb/core/driver.c +++ b/drivers/usb/core/driver.c @@ -1331,6 +1331,24 @@ static int usb_suspend_both(struct usb_device *udev, pm_message_t msg) */ if (udev->parent && !PMSG_IS_AUTO(msg)) status = 0; + + /* + * If the device is inaccessible, don't try to resume + * suspended interfaces and just return the error. + */ + if (status && status != -EBUSY) { + int err; + u16 devstat; + + err = usb_get_status(udev, USB_RECIP_DEVICE, 0, + &devstat); + if (err) { + dev_err(&udev->dev, + "Failed to suspend device, error %d\n", + status); + goto done; + } + } } /* If the suspend failed, resume interfaces that did get suspended */ diff --git a/drivers/usb/core/hub.c b/drivers/usb/core/hub.c index 5286bf67869a..2e047f982af3 100644 --- a/drivers/usb/core/hub.c +++ b/drivers/usb/core/hub.c @@ -1066,6 +1066,9 @@ static void hub_activate(struct usb_hub *hub, enum hub_activation_type type) portstatus = portchange = 0; status = hub_port_status(hub, port1, &portstatus, &portchange); + if (status) + goto abort; + if (udev || (portstatus & USB_PORT_STAT_CONNECTION)) dev_dbg(&port_dev->dev, "status %04x change %04x\n", portstatus, portchange); @@ -1198,7 +1201,7 @@ static void hub_activate(struct usb_hub *hub, enum hub_activation_type type) /* Scan all ports that need attention */ kick_hub_wq(hub); - + abort: if (type == HUB_INIT2 || type == HUB_INIT3) { /* Allow autosuspend if it was suppressed */ disconnected: -- 2.7.4 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-usb" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
