Performing a stability stress test on a USB3.0 2.5G ethernet adapter results in errors like this: [ 91.441469] r8152 2-3:1.0 eth3: get_registers -71 [ 91.458659] r8152 2-3:1.0 eth3: get_registers -71 [ 91.475911] r8152 2-3:1.0 eth3: get_registers -71 [ 91.493203] r8152 2-3:1.0 eth3: get_registers -71 [ 91.510421] r8152 2-3:1.0 eth3: get_registers -71 The r8152 driver will periodically issue lots of control-IN requests to access the status of ethernet adapter hardware registers during the test. This happens when the xHCI driver enqueue a control TD (which cross over the Link TRB between two ring segments, as shown) in the endpoint zero's transfer ring. Seems the Etron xHCI host can not perform this TD correctly, causing the USB transfer error occurred, maybe the upper driver retry that control-IN request can solve problem, but not all drivers do this. | | ------- | TRB | Setup Stage ------- | TRB | Link ------- ------- | TRB | Data Stage ------- | TRB | Status Stage ------- | | To work around this, the xHCI driver should enqueue a No Op TRB if next available TRB is the Link TRB in the ring segment, this can prevent the Setup and Data Stage TRB to be breaked by the Link TRB. Check if the XHCI_ETRON_HOST quirk flag is set before invoking the workaround in xhci_queue_ctrl_tx(). Fixes: d0e96f5a71a0 ("USB: xhci: Control transfer support.")
