Dear All,

I have encountered a problem in xhci which leads to general protection fault.

The problem is triggered by running this program:

https://gitlab.collabora.com/andrzej.p/bulk-cancel.git

$ sudo ./bulk-cancel -D /dev/bus/usb/002/006 -i 1 -b 1

where /dev/bus/usb/002/006 is a Gadget Zero:

It takes less than a minute until the crash happens.
The DMAR (iommu) errors don't happen always, i.e. there are crashes
when they are not reported in the system log. In either case the

"WARN Cannot submit Set TR Deq Ptr"
"A Set TR Deq Ptr command is pending."
"WARN Set TR Deq Ptr cmd failed due to incorrect slot or ep state."

messages do appear.


Nice testcase and report, thanks.

I started looking at issues in this area some time ago, and wrote a couple patches but
it was left hanging. The two patches (now rebased on 5.9-rc3) can be found in my tree in the
fix_invalid_context_at_stop_endpoint branch

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mnyman/xhci.git fix_invalid_context_at_stop_endpoint

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mnyman/xhci.git/log/?h=fix_invalid_context_at_stop_endpoint

If you could give those a try and see if they help I'd be grateful.

No, it doesn't help, albeit the errors are slightly different:

xhci_hcd 0000:00:14.0: WARN Cannot submit Set TR Deq Ptr
xhci_hcd 0000:00:14.0: A Set TR Deq Ptr command is pending.
dmar_fault: 44 callbacks suppressed
DRHD: handling fault status reg 3> DMAR: [DMA Write] Request device [00:14.0] PASID ffffffff fault addr ffcda000 [fault reason 05] PTE Write access is not set
DMAR: DRHD: handling fault status reg 3

Ok, thanks, the DMA problems make sense to me now.

If a transfer ring stops on a transfer request (TRB) that should be canceled (manual cancel,
or error) it's not enough to just turn the  TRB to a no-op.
HW has most likely cached the TRB, and we need to move the transfer ring dequeue pointer past this TRB.
Moving deq also clears controller cache.

We do all this, but if we fail to queue the Set TR Deq command the TRB (with DMA  pointers) will stay on the ring,
and controller will access the TRB DMA  address once it continues running. At this point xhci driver has already
given back the canceled/erroneous TRB, and is probably unmapped already.
Hence the DMAR entries.

Looks like this part of the code needs a more extensive rewrite, on top of this we are not handling
races between endpoints halted due errors, and endpoints stopped by driver to cancel URBs.

I'm chasing a similar problem which is also most easily reproduced using
Andrzej's bulk-cancel program, though we have seen it in the field many times
as well with normal usage.

The symptom is that we get the following errors in dmesg:

   xhci_hcd 0000:00:14.0: Mismatch between completed Set TR Deq Ptr command & xHCI internal state.
   xhci_hcd 0000:00:14.0: ep deq seg = 000000001141d6a0, deq ptr = 00000000ebd28dcf

The xhci USB stack loses all attached devices, and on my system at least has
only been recoverable by rebooting.

Full dmesg and trace after 'echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/xhci-hcd/enable'
can be found here:

One interesting bit from the trace is that we observe the ep_ctx->deq pointer
being 0 in xhci_handle_cmd_set_deq():

I've noticed that I have to have CONFIG_INTEL_IOMMU_DEFAULT_ON=y for this
clean repro case, else the system still fails but I don't always (ever?) see
the failure to read at address 0.

Mathias, do you think that your above explanation also covers my failure case?
Are we just failing to enqueue a Set TR Deq command, and the HC is processing
a stale TRB?  Or does the fact that ep_ctx->deq == 0 not fit with that
explanation?


 From the logs from Ross it seems that the direct cause of the HC dying
is Stop Endpoint not completing and, consequently, timing out.
Stop endpoint command does not complete due to the 'catastrophic' HSE
(host system error) which stops the controller completely.

I'd guess the HSE is related to the zeroed dequeue pointer.


In the xHCI spec, section "4.6.9 Stop Endpoint" we can read:

"Note that when an endpoint is stopped, the xHC maintains the state
necessary to restart the last active Transfer Ring where it left off,
however software may not want to do this. The options are discussed below:

1. Temporarily Stop Transfer Ring Activity - [...]

2. Aborting a Transfer - If, because of a timeout or other reason, software
issued the Stop Endpoint Command to abort the current TD. Then the
Set TR Dequeue Pointer Command may be used to force the xHC to
dump any internal state that it has for the ring and restart activity at the
new Transfer Ring location specified by the Set TR Dequeue Pointer Command."

If bulk-cancel reproducer is used then the software's intention is definitely
to abort a transfer, so indeed a Set TR Dequeue Pointer is needed.

On the other hand, in that same spec, in "4.6.10 Set TR Dequeue Pointer"
we read:

"This command may be executed only if the target endpoint is in the Error
or Stopped state."

My question is: why in the crash scenario Ross describes "Set TR Dequeue
Pointer" is being carried out while Stop Endpoint has not been completed
(and timed out instead)?

Every time a URB is canceled the xhci driver will queue a "stop endpoint command"
if there isn't one already pending.
The Set TR Dequeue command you see is probably for the previous URB, while the stop is
for the next URB.
  Andrzej, any change of getting traces from your case? They would tell more than just
the dynamic debug.


The problem is I am not getting any trace at all even though it is turned on,
the system crashes before tail -f /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace outputs
anything.

Andrzej
