Subject: Re: [PATCH 2/2] usb: host: xhci: Handle the right timeout command

Hi Mathias,

I have some comments for the implementation of
xhci_handle_command_timeout() as well.

I post the code below and add my comments in line.

1276 void xhci_handle_command_timeout(struct work_struct *work)
1277 {
1278         struct xhci_hcd *xhci;
1279         int ret;
1280         unsigned long flags;
1281         u64 hw_ring_state;
1282
1283         xhci = container_of(to_delayed_work(work), struct xhci_hcd, cmd_timer);
1284
1285         spin_lock_irqsave(&xhci->lock, flags);
1286
1287         /*
1288          * If timeout work is pending, or current_cmd is NULL, it means we
1289          * raced with command completion. Command is handled so just return.
1290          */
1291         if (!xhci->current_cmd || delayed_work_pending(&xhci->cmd_timer)) {
1292                 spin_unlock_irqrestore(&xhci->lock, flags);
1293                 return;
1294         }
1295         /* mark this command to be cancelled */
1296         xhci->current_cmd->status = COMP_CMD_ABORT;
1297
1298         /* Make sure command ring is running before aborting it */
1299         hw_ring_state = xhci_read_64(xhci, &xhci->op_regs->cmd_ring);
1300         if ((xhci->cmd_ring_state & CMD_RING_STATE_RUNNING) &&
1301             (hw_ring_state & CMD_RING_RUNNING))  {
1302                 /* Prevent new doorbell, and start command abort */
1303                 xhci->cmd_ring_state = CMD_RING_STATE_ABORTED;
1304                 spin_unlock_irqrestore(&xhci->lock, flags);
1305                 xhci_dbg(xhci, "Command timeout\n");
1306                 ret = xhci_abort_cmd_ring(xhci);
1307                 if (unlikely(ret == -ESHUTDOWN)) {
1308                         xhci_err(xhci, "Abort command ring failed\n");
1309                         xhci_cleanup_command_queue(xhci);
1310                         usb_hc_died(xhci_to_hcd(xhci)->primary_hcd);
1311                         xhci_dbg(xhci, "xHCI host controller is dead.\n");
1312                 }
1313                 return;
1314         }
1315
1316         /* host removed. Bail out */
1317         if (xhci->xhc_state & XHCI_STATE_REMOVING) {
1318                 spin_unlock_irqrestore(&xhci->lock, flags);
1319                 xhci_dbg(xhci, "host removed, ring start fail?\n");
1320                 xhci_cleanup_command_queue(xhci);
1321                 return;
1322         }

I think this part of code should be moved up to line 1295.

1323
1324         /* command timeout on stopped ring, ring can't be aborted */
1325         xhci_dbg(xhci, "Command timeout on stopped ring\n");
1326         xhci_handle_stopped_cmd_ring(xhci, xhci->current_cmd);
1327         spin_unlock_irqrestore(&xhci->lock, flags);

This part of code is tricky. I have no idea about in which case should this
code be executed? Anyway, we shouldn't call xhci_handle_stopped_cmd_ring()
here, right?

1328         return;
1329 }
