Subject: [PATCH] xhci: Fix the lack of support for the Handle Port Configure Error

From: Shimmer Huang <shimmerh@...vell.com>

Linux xHCI driver does not check the CEC bit in register PORTSC when
handling port status events. If Port Configure Error for root hub port
occurs, CEC bit in PORTSC would be set by xHC and remains 1. This
happends when the root port fails to configure its link partner,
e.g. the port fails to exchange port capabilities information using
Port Capability LMPs.

Then the Port Status Change Events will be blocked until all status
change bits(CEC is one of the change bits) are cleared('0') (refer to
xHCI spec 4.19.2). Otherwise, the port status change event for this
root port will not be generated anymore, then root port would look
like “dead” for user and can’t be recovered until a Host Controller
Reset(HCRST)

This patch is to check CEC bit and clear the CEC bit if it's set to 1
in function handle_port_status().

[gregory.clement@...e-electrons.com: ported from 3.10 and added more
explanations(from Shimmer) in the commit log]

Hi,

usually I tried to add a kernel version for the stable team, but for
this patch I don't know since when it makes sens to apply it.
