Re: [PATCH 2/2] usb: host: xhci: Handle the right timeout command

Hi Mathias,

I have some comments for the implementation of xhci_abort_cmd_ring() below.

Below is the latest code. I put my comments in line.

 322 static int xhci_abort_cmd_ring(struct xhci_hcd *xhci)
 323 {
 324         u64 temp_64;
 325         int ret;
 326
 327         xhci_dbg(xhci, "Abort command ring\n");
 328
 329         reinit_completion(&xhci->cmd_ring_stop_completion);
 330
 331         temp_64 = xhci_read_64(xhci, &xhci->op_regs->cmd_ring);
 332         xhci_write_64(xhci, temp_64 | CMD_RING_ABORT,
 333                         &xhci->op_regs->cmd_ring);

We should hold xhci->lock when we are modifying xhci registers
at runtime.


 334
 335         /* Section 4.6.1.2 of xHCI 1.0 spec says software should
 336          * time the completion od all xHCI commands, including

 341          */
 342         ret = xhci_handshake(&xhci->op_regs->cmd_ring,
 343                         CMD_RING_RUNNING, 0, 5 * 1000 * 1000);
 344         if (ret < 0) {
 345                 /* we are about to kill xhci, give it one more chance */

The retry of setting CMD_RING_ABORT is not necessary according to
previous discussion. We have cleaned code for second try in
xhci_handle_command_timeout(). Need to clean up here as well.

 346                 xhci_write_64(xhci, temp_64 | CMD_RING_ABORT,
 347                               &xhci->op_regs->cmd_ring);
 348                 udelay(1000);
 349                 ret = xhci_handshake(&xhci->op_regs->cmd_ring,
 350                                      CMD_RING_RUNNING, 0, 3 * 1000 * 1000);
 351                 if (ret < 0) {
 352                         xhci_err(xhci, "Stopped the command ring failed, "
 353                                  "maybe the host is dead\n");
 354                         xhci->xhc_state |= XHCI_STATE_DYING;
 355                         xhci_halt(xhci);
 356                         return -ESHUTDOWN;
 357                 }
 358         }
 359         /*
 360          * Writing the CMD_RING_ABORT bit should cause a cmd completion event,
 361          * however on some host hw the CMD_RING_RUNNING bit is correctly cleared
 362          * but the completion event in never sent. Wait 2 secs (arbitrary

 364          */

This should be implemented with a quirk bit. It's not common for all host controllers.

 365         if (!wait_for_completion_timeout(&xhci->cmd_ring_stop_completion,
 366                                          2 * HZ)) {
 367                 xhci_dbg(xhci, "No stop event for abort, ring start fail?\n");
 368                 xhci_cleanup_command_queue(xhci);
 369         } else {
 370                 unsigned long flags;
 371
 372                 spin_lock_irqsave(&xhci->lock, flags);
 373                 xhci_handle_stopped_cmd_ring(xhci, xhci_next_queued_cmd(xhci));
 374                 spin_unlock_irqrestore(&xhci->lock, flags);
 375         }
 376         return 0;
 377 }
