From: Mathias Nyman <mathias.nyman@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 1208d8a84fdcae6b395c57911cdf907450d30e70 upstream. When disabling a USB3 port the hub driver will set the port link state to U3 to prevent "ejected" or "safely removed" devices that are still physically connected from immediately re-enumerating. If the device was really unplugged, then error messages were printed as the hub tries to set the U3 link state for a port that is no longer enabled. xhci-hcd ee000000.usb: Cannot set link state. usb usb8-port1: cannot disable (err = -32) Don't print error message in xhci-hub if hub tries to set port link state for a disabled port. Return -ENODEV instead which also silences hub driver.

We continue to get error reports from users who are concerned about the USB error messages referred to in the changelog. The upstream commit 1208d8a84fdc can be cherry-picked cleanly to linux-4.14.y, and this patch applies cleanly to both linux-4.9.y and linux-4.4.y. I've tested both the clean cherry-pick and this version of the patch on real hardware. --- drivers/usb/host/xhci-hub.c | 16 +++++++++------- 1 file changed, 9 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/usb/host/xhci-hub.c b/drivers/usb/host/xhci-hub.c index 0722f75f1d6a..54bde0f45666 100644 --- a/drivers/usb/host/xhci-hub.c +++ b/drivers/usb/host/xhci-hub.c @@ -1073,13 +1073,15 @@ int xhci_hub_control(struct usb_hcd *hcd, u16 typeReq, u16 wValue, break; } - /* Software should not attempt to set - * port link state above '3' (U3) and the port - * must be enabled. - */ - if ((temp & PORT_PE) == 0 || - (link_state > USB_SS_PORT_LS_U3)) { - xhci_warn(xhci, "Cannot set link state.\n"); + /* Port must be enabled */ + if (!(temp & PORT_PE)) { + retval = -ENODEV; + break; + } + /* Can't set port link state above '3' (U3) */ + if (link_state > USB_SS_PORT_LS_U3) { + xhci_warn(xhci, "Cannot set port %d link state %d\n", + wIndex, link_state); goto error; } -- 2.19.0.605.g01d371f741-goog
