I must admit, I have not reviewed all uses of the long xhci_handshakes. :) I have reviewed the following instance. In usb/host/xhci-ring.c:xhci_abort_cmd_ring(): ret = xhci_handshake(&xhci->op_regs->cmd_ring, CMD_RING_RUNNING, 0, 5 * 1000 * 1000); if (ret < 0) { xhci_err(xhci, "Abort failed to stop command ring: %d\n", ret); xhci_halt(xhci); xhci_hc_died(xhci); return ret; } /* * Writing the CMD_RING_ABORT bit should cause a cmd completion event, * however on some host hw the CMD_RING_RUNNING bit is correctly cleared * but the completion event in never sent. Wait 2 secs (arbitrary * number) to handle those cases after negation of CMD_RING_RUNNING. */ spin_unlock_irqrestore(&xhci->lock, flags); The spin_unlock occurs before the completion wait, so I assume that interrupts are disabled in the spin above. Also, the system does nothing during this period. No SSH, no serial, no log messages, etc. Seth
