[PATCH 1/2] xhci: make sure TRB is fully written before giving it to the controller

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Once the command ring doorbell is rung the xHC controller will parse all
command TRBs on the command ring that have the cycle bit set properly.

If the driver just started writing the next command TRB to the ring when
hardware finished the previous TRB, then HW might fetch an incomplete TRB
as long as its cycle bit set correctly.

A command TRB is 16 bytes (128 bits) long.
Driver writes the command TRB in four 32 bit chunks, with the chunk
containing the cycle bit last. This does however not guarantee that
chunks actually get written in that order.

This was detected in stress testing when canceling URBs with several
connected USB devices.
Two consecutive "Set TR Dequeue pointer" commands got queued right
after each other, and the second one was only partially written when
the controller parsed it, causing the dequeue pointer to be set
to bogus values. This was seen as error messages:

"Mismatch between completed Set TR Deq Ptr command & xHCI internal state"

Solution is to add a write memory barrier before writing the cycle bit.
