[PATCH v2] vhci_hcd: USB port can get stuck in the disabled state

[Michael Broadfoot]

When a remote usb device is attached to the local Virtual USB
Host Controller Root Hub port, the bound device driver may send a
port reset command. For example to initialize firmware (eg. btusb does this).
This port reset command can be sent at any time, however the VHCI hcd
root hub is only expecting reset to occur before the device receives
SET_ADDRESS. The USB port should always be enabled after a reset
(because the port is virtual and there is no possibility of hardware errors)

VDEV_ST_NOTASSIGNED status indicates that the vdev is in use without
address assigned - in other words port is initializing.

This is part of the attach request handling when user requests to
attach to a remote device. attach_store() will change the status
to VDEV_ST_NOTASSIGNED and then initiate port_connect sequence.

We don't want to touch the vdev when it is in other states.

How did you find this problem? Does the port get into stuck state
while attaching to a remote usbip device on the host?

Re: [PATCH v2] vhci_hcd: USB port can get stuck in the disabled state

[Michael]

You can pass through any bluetooth dongle (or xbox wireless dongle)
through usbip and it will cause this issue.

For example, here is one of my customers
https://www.virtualhere.com/comment/9432#comment-9432 with the issue.

The device is in the  VDEV_ST_USED state when a reset occurs and so
its never re-enabled

Furthermore there is a bug in the line pr_err("vhci_device speed not set\n");
(L479) because resetting a full-speed device is not an error.

Can you provide me the full demsg from host and client including the part
where device is attached? I assume usbip tools from Linux sources are used?

Also send me lsusb output on host and client

Sorry for the delay on this. I had to make time to do some research on
usb_reset_device() calls from probe routines.

 From what you said in another email:

"The device is in the  VDEV_ST_USED state when a reset occurs and so its
never re-enabled"

Right if device is in VDEV_ST_USED state, vhci treats reset as invalid.

Your commit log says:

"When a remote usb device is attached to the local Virtual USB
Host Controller Root Hub port, the bound device driver may send a
port reset command. For example to initialize firmware (eg. btusb does this).
This port reset command can be sent at any time, however the VHCI hcd
root hub is only expecting reset to occur before the device receives
SET_ADDRESS. The USB port should always be enabled after a reset
(because the port is virtual and there is no possibility of hardware errors)"

It appears btusb driver issues reset as a workaround: btusb_setup_intel()

        /* The controller has a bug with the first HCI command sent to it
          * returning number of completed commands as zero. This would stall the
          * command processing in the Bluetooth core.
          *
          * As a workaround, send HCI Reset command first which will reset the
          * number of completed commands and allow normal command processing
          * from now on.
          */

Another "Toggle the hard reset line" workaround for Realtek devices:
See btusb_rtl_cmd_timeout()

Both of these cases are workarounds. Is this what you are referring to about
btusb doing reset?

Specific to this bug report and mt76, other network/wireless usb drivers
call usb_reset_device() from their probe routines unconditionally. These
are the calls from normal paths and not fw load/error paths.

rtl8152_probe(), carl9170_usb_probe(), mt7663u_probe() and so on. Looking
at these probe routines, it appears some of them do that to avoid problems
in disconnect path.

I have two questions:
- Is it necessary to do usb_reset_device() in net/wireless usb driver
   probe routines?
- Are these legit calls according to protocol?

If yes, we can look into changing vhci to handle this case for net/wireless
usb drivers. I would not delete the check though. I would add VDEV_ST_USED
check in addition to VDEV_ST_NOTASSIGNED with some comments on why this is
necessary.

Furthermore there is a bug in the line pr_err("vhci_device speed not set\n");
(L479) because resetting a full-speed device is not an error.

This is a separate issue is separate. vhci is missing USB_SPEED_FULL checks
at various places. This has to be done as a separate work.

Re: [PATCH v2] vhci_hcd: USB port can get stuck in the disabled state

[Michael]

Yes i think just adding the VDEV_ST_USED check in addition to the
VDEV_ST_NOT_ASSIGNED state is fine and would fix the issue.

After many years of writing virtualhere (a similar system to usb/ip
but cross-platform and different non-kernel way of doing it server
side) I've seen many drivers that issue reset at any time. Loading
firmware is usually the reason.  Also sometimes switching
configurations requires a reset also, for example some gaming wheels
do this. I don't think you should make this VDEV_ST_USED check
specific to Wifi devices, as a lot of devices don't follow too closely
to the USB protocol to begin with from my experience. They primarily
base their USB interactions assuming the windows platform and its
quirks.
