When multiple streams are in use, multiple TDs might be in flight when

Change the logic so that any N>1 TDs found active for different streams
are deferred until after the first one is processed, calling
xhci_invalidate_cancelled_tds() again from xhci_handle_cmd_set_deq() to
queue another command until we are done with all of them. Also change
the error/"should never happen" paths to ensure we at least clear any
affected TDs, even if we can't issue a command to clear the hardware
cache, and complain loudly with an xhci_warn() if this ever happens.
This problem case dates back to commit e9df17eb1408 ("USB: xhci: Correct
assumptions about number of rings per endpoint.") early on in the XHCI
driver's life, when stream support was first added. At that point, this
condition would cause TDs to not be given back at all, causing hanging
transfers - but no security bug.
At this point all cancelled URBs were always given back, and always before
cache was cleared. Cache was also never cleared for the second, or later
stream rings if more than one stream had cancelled URBs.
It was then identified but not fixed
nor made into a warning in commit 674f8438c121 ("xhci: split handling
halted endpoints into two steps"), which added a FIXME comment for the
problem case (without materially changing the behavior as far as I can
tell, though the new logic made the problem more obvious).
This rework ensured URB were given back _after_ they were cleared from xHC
cache. While reworking this it was noticed that something is not correct with
how driver clears TRBs from xHC cache in the case when cancelled URBS
exists on several separate stream rings.
No changes were made to stream ring cache clearing.
Then later, in commit 94f339147fc3 ("xhci: Fix failure to give back some
cached cancelled URBs."), it was acknowledged again. This commit was
unfortunately not reviewed at all, as it was authored by the maintainer
directly. Had it been, perhaps a second set of eyes would've noticed
that it does not fix the bug, but rather just makes it (much) worse.
It turns the "transfers hang" bug into a "random memory corruption" bug,
by blindly marking TDs as complete without actually clearing them at all
nor moving the dequeue pointer past them, which means they aren't actually
complete, and the xHC will try to transfer data to/from them when the
endpoint resumes, now to freed memory buffers.
94f339147fc3 ("xhci: Fix failure to give back some cached cancelled URBs.")
fixed the regression caused by previous patch. Users reported issues with
usb stuck after unmounting/disconnecting UAS devices. This had to be resolved
and the options at this point were reverting the whole thing, or only roll
back this targeted streams area to its original condition, not made worse.
Commit was discussed, and first sent as RFT:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-usb/20210813134729.2402607-1-mathias.nyman@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/

This could have been a legitimate oversight, but apparently the commit
author was aware of the problem (yet still chose to submit it): It was
still mentioned as a FIXME, an xhci_dbg() was added to log the problem
condition, and the remaining issue was mentioned in the commit
description. The choice of making the log type xhci_dbg() for what is,
at this point, a completely unhandled and known broken condition is
puzzling and unfortunate, as it guarantees that no actual users would
see the log in production, thereby making it nigh undebuggable (indeed,
even if you turn on DEBUG, the message doesn't really hint at there
being a problem at all).
It took me *months* of random xHC crashes to finally find a reliable
repro and be able to do a deep dive debug session, which could all have
been avoided had this unhandled, broken condition been actually reported
with a warning, as it should have been as a bug intentionally left in
unfixed (never mind that it shouldn't have been left in at all).
Another fix to solve clearing the caches of all stream rings with
cancelled TDs is needed, but not as urgent.
3 years after that statement and 14 years after the original bug was
introduced, I think it's finally time to fix it. And maybe next time
let's not leave bugs unfixed (that are actually worse than the original
bug), and let's actually get people to review kernel commits please.
Issue was only seen at UAS unmount/disconnect where xHC cache clearing
shouldn't be problem. Whole case wasn't assumed to be an issue otherwise.
We didn't want to spam users with irrelevant warnings at unmount/disconnect
but added the debug message and description of issue in code and commit
message.
Issue has always been there (14 years).
After 9 years it was noted during another more urgent regression fix, so
a debug message with description was added.
Other cases were then prioritized over this.
Now 3 years later it hit you.
Debugging this sounds frustrating.
I really appreciate you doing this. Your solution is small and clean,
I like it.
I could not come up with something like this while trying to resolve the
regression.
Please don't hesitate to ask for debugging help next time, no need to do
it all by yourself.
Fixes xHC crashes and IOMMU faults with UAS devices when handling
errors/faults. Easiest repro is to use `hdparm` to mark an early sector
(e.g. 1024) on a disk as bad, then `cat /dev/sdX > /dev/null` in a loop.
At least in the case of JMicron controllers, the read errors end up
having to cancel two TDs (for two queued requests to different streams)
and the one that didn't get cleared properly ends up faulting the xHC
entirely when it tries to access DMA pages that have since been unmapped,
referred to by the stale TDs. This normally happens quickly (after two
or three loops). After this fix, I left the `cat` in a loop running
overnight and experienced no xHC failures, with all read errors
recovered properly. Repro'd and tested on an Apple M1 Mac Mini
(dwc3 host).
On systems without an IOMMU, this bug would instead silently corrupt
freed memory, making this a security bug (even on systems with IOMMUs
this could silently corrupt memory belonging to other USB devices on the
same controller, so it's still a security bug). Given that the kernel
autoprobes partition tables, I'm pretty sure a malicious USB device
pretending to be a UAS device and reporting an error with the right
timing could deliberately trigger a UAF and write to freed memory, with
no user action.

I like this solution, can't immediately find any issues with it.
Commit message makes some hasty assumptions.
