From 22547c4cc4fe20698a6a85a55b8788859134b8e4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Guenter Roeck Date: Thu, 1 Dec 2016 13:49:59 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] usb: hub: Wait for connection to be reestablished after port reset On a system with a defective USB device connected to an USB hub, an endless sequence of port connect events was observed. The sequence of events as observed is as follows: - Port reports connected event (port status=USB_PORT_STAT_CONNECTION). - Event handler debounces port and resets it by calling hub_port_reset(). - hub_port_reset() calls hub_port_wait_reset() to wait for the reset to complete. - The reset completes, but USB_PORT_STAT_CONNECTION is not immediately set in the port status register. - hub_port_wait_reset() returns -ENOTCONN. - Port initialization sequence is aborted. - A few milliseconds later, the port again reports a connected event, and the sequence repeats. This continues either forever or, randomly, stops if the connection is already re-established when the port status is read. It results in a high rate of udev events. This in turn destabilizes userspace since the above sequence holds the device mutex pretty much continuously and prevents userspace from actually reading the device status. To prevent the problem from happening, let's wait for the connection to be re-established after a port reset. If the device was actually disconnected, the code will still return an error, but it will do so only after the long reset timeout.
