[PATCH 0/2] USB: fix lockup on disconnect

[Johan Hovold]

These patches fix an issue I ran into into where the Beaglebone Black
would lock up on disconnect.

Turns out this was related to the transfer_buffers not being properly
aligned, causing musb to use temporary buffers for the transfers. On
transfer errors (e.g. during disconnect), the full buffer content was
still being copied, something which could lead starvation of the hub
work queue when using large-enough buffers.

Included is also a fix for the same issue for ehci-tegra that has been
compile tested only.

Note that the octeon-hcd driver in staging, which also uses temporary
buffers for unaligned transfers, appears to already get this right.

[PATCH 1/2] USB: musb: fix inefficient copy of unaligned buffers

[Johan Hovold]

Make sure only to copy any actual data rather than the whole buffer,
when releasing the temporary buffer used for unaligned transfer buffers.

Note that this also fixes a lockup on disconnect, where repeated failed
transfers would starve the hub workqueue from processing the disconnect,
which would have prevented the urbs from being resubmitted. In this case
there is no data to forward, but the full buffer length was being copied
nonetheless.

The disconnect lockup can easily be reproduced using four unaligned
4k-bulk-in urbs on Beaglebone Black.

[PATCH 2/2] USB: ehci-tegra: fix inefficient copy of unaligned buffers

[Johan Hovold]

Make sure only to copy any actual data rather than the whole buffer,
when releasing the temporary buffer used for unaligned transfer buffers.

Note that the corresponding fix of musb also fixes a lockup on
disconnect, where repeated failed transfers would starve the hub
workqueue from processing the disconnect, which would have prevented the
urbs from being resubmitted. In this case there is no data to forward,
but the full buffer length was being copied nonetheless.

Compile-tested only.

This is wrong for isochronous transfers, because the transfer data
generally isn't contiguous in memory.

It would be okay to do this for other transfer types, though.

Thanks for pointing that out. I'll re-spin the series tomorrow.
