In certain scenarios, there is a chance that the CPU may not be scheduled the bottom half of dwc3 interrupt. This is because the CPU may hang up where any work queue lockup has happened for the same CPU that is trying to schedule the dwc3 thread interrupt. In this scenario, the USB can enter runtime suspend as the bus may idle for a longer time , or user can reconnect the USB cable. Then, the dwc3 event interrupt can be enabled when runtime resume is happening with regardless of the previous event status. This can lead to a dwc3 IRQ storm due to the return from the interrupt handler by checking only the evt->flags as DWC3_EVENT_PENDING, where the same flag was set as DWC3_EVENT_PENDING in previous work queue lockup. Let's consider the following sequences in this scenario, Call trace of dwc3 IRQ after workqueue lockup scenario ====================================================== IRQ #1: ->dwc3_interrupt() ->dwc3_check_event_buf() ->if (evt->flags & DWC3_EVENT_PENDING) return IRQ_HANDLED; ->evt->flags |= DWC3_EVENT_PENDING; ->/* Disable interrupt by setting DWC3_GEVNTSIZ_INTMASK in DWC3_GEVNTSIZ ->return IRQ_WAKE_THREAD; // No workqueue scheduled for dwc3 thread_fu due to workqueue lockup even after return IRQ_WAKE_THREAD from top-half. Thread #2: ->dwc3_runtime_resume() ->dwc3_resume_common() ->dwc3_gadget_resume() ->dwc3_gadget_soft_connect() ->dwc3_event_buffers_setup() ->/*Enable interrupt by clearing DWC3_GEVNTSIZ_INTMASK in DWC3_GEVNTSIZ*/ Start IRQ Storming after enable dwc3 event in resume path ========================================================= CPU0: IRQ dwc3_interrupt() dwc3_check_event_buf() if (evt->flags & DWC3_EVENT_PENDING) return IRQ_HANDLED; CPU0: IRQ dwc3_interrupt() dwc3_check_event_buf() if (evt->flags & DWC3_EVENT_PENDING) return IRQ_HANDLED; .. .. To fix this issue by avoiding enabling of the dwc3 event interrupt in the runtime resume path if dwc3 event processing is in progress.
