To summarize the points:

1) The host only arms function remote wakeup if the device is capable of
remote wakeup (check USB_CONFIG_ATT_WAKEUP in bmAttributes and hardware
capability)

2) If the device is in suspend, the device can do remote wakeup (through
LFPS handshake) if the function is armed for remote wakeup (through
SET_FEATURE(FUNC_SUSPEND)).

3) If the link transitions to U0 after the device triggering a remote
wakeup, the device will also send device notification function wake for
all the interfaces armed with remote wakeup.

4) If the device is not in suspend, the device can send device
notification function wake if it's in U0.


Now, remote wakeup and function wake device notification are 2 separate
operations. We have the usb_gadget_ops->wakeup() for remote wakeup. I
suggested to maybe add usb_gadget_ops->send_wakeup_notification(gadget,
intf_id) for the device notification. What you did was combining both
operations in usb_gadget_ops->func_wakeup(). That may only work for
point 4) (assuming you fix the U0 check), but not point 3).

Thank you for your feedback and summary. I will rename func_wakeup to
send_wakeup_notification to better align with the approach. The reason I
have combined remote_wakeup and function wake notification in
usb_gadget_ops->func_wakeup() is because since the implementation is at
function/composite level it has no knowledge on the link state. So I
have delegated that task to controller driver to handle the notification
accordingly. That is do a LFPS handshake first if the device is
suspended and then send notification (explained below). But we can
definitely separate this by adding an additional flag in the composite
layer to set the link state based on the gadget suspend callback called
when U3 SUSPEND interrupt is received. Let me know if you feel
separating the two is a better approach.


The reason I think we need to separate it is because of point 3. As I
note earlier, the spec states that "If remote wake event occurs in
multiple functions, each function shall send a Function Wake Notification."

But if there's no remote wake event, and the host brought the device up
instead, then the function suspend state is retained.

If we separate these 2 operations, the caller can check whether the
operation went through properly. For example, if the wakeup() is
initiated properly, but the function wake device notification didn't go
through. We would only need to resend the device notification rather
than initiate remote wakeup again.

If we don't have to send device notification for other interfaces, we
can combine the operations here as you did.


I still think it's better to split up the operations. The way you're
handling it now is not clear.

If the func_awake() returns -EAGAIN, I'd expect that the remote wake did
not go through and expect user to retry again. But here it does initiate
remote wake, but it just does not send device notification yet. This is
confusing.

Also, instead of all the function wake handling coming from the function
driver, now we depend on the controller driver to call function resume()
on state change to U0, which will trigger device notification. What
happen if it doesn't call resume(). There's too many dependencies and it
seems fragile.

I think all this can be handled in the function driver. You can fix the
dwc3 wakeup() and poll for U0/ON state rather than RECOVERY state, which
is what it's supposed to poll.

For transitioning from U3 to U0, the current upstream implementation is to poll for U0 state when dwc3_gadget_wakeup() is called and it is a blocking call. (this is a common API for both HS and SS)

	/* poll until Link State changes to ON */
	retries = 20000;

	while (retries--) {
		reg = dwc3_readl(dwc->regs, DWC3_DSTS);

		/* in HS, means ON */
		if (DWC3_DSTS_USBLNKST(reg) == DWC3_LINK_STATE_U0)
			break;
	}

In my experiments I found that certain hosts take longer time to drive
HS resume signalling between the remote wakeup and the resume K and this time varies across hosts. Hence the above polling timer is not generic across hosts. So how do we converge on a polling timer value to work across HS/SS and without blocking the system for a long time?

Some data layers like TCP/IP hold a TX lock while sending data (that causes a remote wakeup event) and hence this wakeup() may run in atomic context.

To make this generic across hosts, I had switched to interrupt based approach, enabling link state events and return error value immediately from the dwc3_gadget_wakeup() API after doing a LFPS handshake. But yeah, then we have to rely on the resume callback as an indication that link is transitioned to ON state.



 On usb_gadget_wakeup() returns
successful, we'd expect the device is linked up and woken up. then you
can send device notification through a different api such as
usb_gadget_send_wake_notification().

Thanks,
Thinh
