[PATCH] r8152: stop submitting rx for -EPROTO

[Jason-ch Chen]

When unplugging RTL8152 Fast Ethernet Adapter which is plugged
into an USB HUB, the driver would get -EPROTO for bulk transfer.
There is a high probability to get the soft/hard lockup
information if the driver continues to submit Rx before the HUB
completes the detection of all hub ports and issue the
disconnect event.

I don't think it is a good idea.
For the other situations which return the same error code, you would stop the rx, too.
However, the rx may re-work after being resubmitted for the other cases.

Hi Hayes,

Sometimes Rx submits rapidly and the USB kernel driver of opensource
cannot receive any disconnect event due to CPU heavy loading, which
finally causes a system crash.
Do you have any suggestions to modify the r8152 driver to prevent this
situation happened?

Regards,
Jason

Do you mind to try the following patch?
It avoids to re-submit RX immediately.

Hi,

Hayes proposed a solution. Basically you solve this the way HID or WDM do it
delaying resubmission. This makes me wonder whether this problem is specific
to any driver. If it is not, as I would argue, do we have a deficiency
in our API?

Should we have something like: usb_submit_delayed_urb() ?

There has been some discussion about this in the past.

In general, -EPROTO is almost always a non-recoverable error.  In 
usually occurs when a USB cable has been unplugged, before the 
upstream hub has notified the kernel about the unplug event.  It also 
can occur when the device's firmware has crashed.

I do tend to think there is a deficiency in our API, and that it 
should be fixed by making the core logically disable an endpoint 
(clear the ep->enabled flag) whenever an URB for that endpoint 
completes with -EPROTO, -EILSEQ, or -ETIME status.  (In retrospect, 
using three distinct status codes for these errors was a mistake.)  
Then we wouldn't have to go through this piecemeal approach, 
modifying individual drivers to make them give up whenever they get 
one of these errors.

But then we'd have also have to make sure drivers have a way to 
logically re-enable endpoints, for the unlikely case that the error 
can be recovered from.  Certainly set-config, set-interface, and 
clear-halt should do this.  Anything else?

Excuse me. I am confused about the above description.
I got -EPROTO before, when I debugged another issue.
However, the bulk transfer still worked after I resubmitted
the transfer. I didn't do anything to recover it. That is why
I do resubmission for -EPROTO.

Hayes

I check the Linux driver and the xHCI spec.
The driver gets -EPROTO for bulk transfer, when the host
returns COMP_USB_TRANSACTION_ERROR.
According to the spec of xHCI, USB TRANSACTION ERROR
means the host did not receive a valid response from the
device (Timeout, CRC, Bad PID, unexpected NYET, etc.).
It seems to be reasonable why resubmission sometimes works.

Hayes

That's right.  If the device and cable are working properly, this 
should never happen.  Or only extremely rarely (for example, caused 
by external electromagnetic interference).

Did you ever track down the reason why you got the -EPROTO error 
while debugging that other issue?  Can you reproduce it?

I didn't follow it, because it was not relative to the driver. Besides, we
didn't focus on -EPROTO at that time, because it was not the major issue.
And the -EPROTO occurred rarely indeed during a lot of transmission.
The hw engineer confirmed that the device completed the transfer
normally, but the driver still got an error from the host. I don't sure if
there was a USB HUB between the device and the USB host controller.
That are all what I know.

Hayes

Is that really the issue though? We are seeing this issue with EPROTO.
But wouldn't we see it with any recoverable error?

AFAICT we are running into a situation without progress because drivers
retry

* forever
* immediately

If we broke any of these conditions the system would proceed and the
hotplug event be eventually be processed. We may ask whether drivers should
retry forever, but I don't see that you can blame it on error codes.

But if the device isn't working, a simple retry is most unlikely to fix 
the problem.  Some form of active error recovery, such as a bus reset, 
will be necessary.  For a non-working cable, even a reset won't help -- 
the user would have to physically adjust or replace the cable.

If you mean an error that can be fixed but only by doing something more 
than a simple retry, then yes.  However, the vast majority of USB 
drivers do not attempt anything more than a simple retry.  Relatively 
few of them (including usbhid and mass-storage) are more sophisticated 
in their error handling.

It's important to distinguish between:

    1.	errors that are transient and will disappear very quickly,
	meaning that a retry has a good chance of working, and

    2.	errors that are effectively permanent (or at least, long-lived)
	and therefore are highly unlikely to be fixed by retrying.

My point is that there is no reason to retry in case 2, and -EPROTO 
falls into this case (as do -EILSEQ and -ETIME).

Converting drivers to keep track of their retries, to avoid retrying 
forever, would be a fairly large change.  Even implementing delayed 
retries requires some significant work (as you can see in Hayes's recent 
patch -- and that was an easy case because the NAPI infrastructure was 
already present).  It's much simpler to avoid retrying entirely in 
situations where retries won't help.

And it's even simpler if the USB core would automatically prevent 
retries (by failing URB submissions after low-level protocol errors) in 
these situations.

I think the major question is that the driver doesn't know whether
it is necessary to stop submitting bulk transfer or not. There are
two situations with the same error code. One needs to resubmit
the bulk transfer. The other needs to stop the transfer. The original
idea is that the disconnect event would stop submitting transfer for
the second situation. However, for this case, the disconnect event
comes very late, so the submission couldn't be stopped in time.
The best solution is the driver could get another error code which
indicates the device is disappear for the second situation.  Then,
I don't need to do delayed resubmission.

The best solution is the driver could get another error code which
indicates the device is disappear for the second situation.  Then,
I don't need to do delayed resubmission.

Best Regards,
Hayes

[PATCH net] r8152: avoid to resubmit rx immediately

[Hayes Wang]

For the situation that the disconnect event comes very late when the
device is unplugged, the driver would resubmit the RX bulk transfer
after getting the callback with -EPROTO immediately and continually.
Finally, soft lockup occurs.

This patch avoids to resubmit RX immediately. It uses a workqueue to
schedule the RX NAPI. And the NAPI would resubmit the RX. It let the
disconnect event have opportunity to stop the submission before soft
lockup.
