Instead of allocating urb priv and, maybe, bail out due to xhci being
in DYING state, we can move the check earlier and avoid the memory
allocation altogether.
This also moves checking for DYING outside the lock.
Most cases set DYING with lock held, so if we first get the lock before
checking DYING we have a better chance of not being in the process of dying.
pretty sure that's atomic, though.
That's not what I'm after, your fix is cleaning up code in the case where DYING flag is
set before xhci_urb_enqueue() is called. I'm worried about the case when setting DYING flag races
with xhci_urb_enqueue(). i.e. xhci_urb_enqueue() is spinning on the lock, waiting, while
some other part of the driver is desperately trying to access hw with lock held, failing,
finally setting DYING flag, and then releasing lock.
If the check is done before taking the lock then the URB might be queued on dying device,
at a time when xhci_hc_died already started cancelling and giving back all queued URB
this can only happen if checking that bit isn't an atomic operation
which, AFAICT, it is. IOW, it would be the same if you were to change:
if (a & b)
return -1;
to:
if (test_bit(b, &a))
return -1;
right? Now, if this isn't an atomic operation, I'm happy to be educated.
Again, it's not about being atomic.
As an example lets take the get port status request racing with queueing a URB.
After this patch the following is possible:
CPU:0 CPU:1
get port status queue URB
xhci_hub_control() xhci_queue_urb()
spin_lock(lock), got it XHCI_STATE_DYING? no, continue
temp = readl(port_array[wIndex]) spin_lock(lock), already taken, spin here
if (temp == ~(u32)0) {
xhci_hc_died(xhci)
xhc_state |= XHCI_STATE_DYING
cleanup_command_queue()
kill_endpoint_urbs()
spin_unlock(lock) // at URB giveback spin_lock(lock) got it, finally
allocate urb_priv, plus other stuff
xhci_queue_*_tx()
count_trbs_needed(urb)
prepare_transfer()
queue_trb() // for each trb
So its more likely we end up queuing URBs on a dead host, a host that the driver already
started tearing down, freeing URBs. xhci_hub_control() was just one example,
you can replace it with almost any function that calls xhci_hc_died()
Small thing, but so is this cleanup, so not sure its worth the change
Look at the result. With this change we don't need to take a lock,
allocate memory, search for endpoint index, search for endpoint
state. All of those are needed for proper operation of the function, but
if the controller has already died, there's no point in going any
further.
But we might miss the fact that host died, and go even further, adding URB to list,
writing TRBs to ringbuffers etc.
In code we save one line,
goto: free_priv
We're saving a lot more than that, actually. All of the following ends
up being skipped. All of these are unnecessary work when xHC has already
died:
In lines of code in the driver it's just one line.
In extra code being run it's a gamble.
Before the patch we ran the below code, after the patch it's either nothing, or the below
code plus all the URB/TRB queuing code.
