Hello!

So far I tested attached patch but didn't tried to revert commit yet,
will do next week.

Result of running patched kernel with recommended debug options:

Logs show there is a race, controller is suspended, then resumed,
but no interrupt is pending in xhci_resume so roothubs are not resumed,
and host starts to suspend again.

We get the interrupt only after we already started suspending xhci
controller again.

My guess is that when we handle the interrupt we queue work to resume the roothub,
but controller is probably put to D3 suspended state by then,
returning 0xffffffff from some register reads, which driver understands as a dead host.

I need to look into this a bit more.

In this situation, the HCD_WAKEUP_PENDING(hcd) test in
hcd-pci.c:suspend_common() should prevent the controller from going
back into D3.  The WAKEUP_PENDING bit gets set in
usb_hcd_resume_root_hub() and it doesn't get cleared until
hcd_bus_resume() runs.


I think xhci never calls usb_hcd_resume_root_hub() in xhci_resume() in this
specific failing case

xhci_resume() has a check:
/* Resume root hubs only when have pending events. */
  status = readl(&xhci->op_regs->status);
    if (status & STS_EINT) {
      usb_hcd_resume_root_hub(xhci->shared_hcd);
      usb_hcd_resume_root_hub(hcd);
    }

If the check fails, then WAKEUP_PENDING bit is not set, and runtime PM
can suspend host controller again. when xhci driver finally gets to handle the interrupt
the controller may be in D3 already

This should only happen if xhci_resume() is called before xhci driver sees a pending interrupt,
could be possible as xhci has interrupt moderation enabled.
