This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled usb: xhci: hold lock over xhci_abort_cmd_ring() to my usb git tree which can be found at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/usb.git in the usb-linus branch. The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree (usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.) The patch will hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the next -rc kernel release. If you have any questions about this process, please let me know. >From 4dea70778c0f48b4385c7720c363ec8d37a401b4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lu Baolu <baolu.lu@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 3 Jan 2017 18:28:49 +0200 Subject: usb: xhci: hold lock over xhci_abort_cmd_ring() In command timer function, xhci_handle_command_timeout(), xhci->lock is unlocked before call into xhci_abort_cmd_ring(). This might cause race between the timer function and the event handler. The xhci_abort_cmd_ring() function sets the CMD_RING_ABORT bit in the command register and polling it until the setting takes effect. A stop command ring event might be handled between writing the abort bit and polling for it. The event handler will restart the command ring, which causes the failure of polling, and we ever believed that we failed to stop it. As a bonus, this also fixes some issues of calling functions without locking in xhci_handle_command_timeout().
