Subject: [PATCH 5.3 012/112] xhci: Prevent deadlock when xhci adapter breaks during init

From: Bill Kuzeja <William.Kuzeja@...atus.com>

commit 8de66b0e6a56ff10dd00d2b0f2ae52e300178587 upstream.

The system can hit a deadlock if an xhci adapter breaks while initializing.
The deadlock is between two threads: thread 1 is tearing down the
adapter and is stuck in usb_unlocked_disable_lpm waiting to lock the
hcd->handwidth_mutex. Thread 2 is holding this mutex (while still trying
to add a usb device), but is stuck in xhci_endpoint_reset waiting for a
stop or config command to complete. A reboot is required to resolve.

It turns out when calling xhci_queue_stop_endpoint and
xhci_queue_configure_endpoint in xhci_endpoint_reset, the return code is
not checked for errors. If the timing is right and the adapter dies just
before either of these commands get issued, we hang indefinitely waiting
for a completion on a command that didn't get issued.

This wasn't a problem before the following fix because we didn't send
commands in xhci_endpoint_reset:

commit f5249461b504 ("xhci: Clear the host side toggle manually when
    endpoint is soft reset")

With the patch I am submitting, a duration test which breaks adapters
during initialization (and which deadlocks with the standard kernel) runs
without issue.

Fixes: f5249461b504 ("xhci: Clear the host side toggle manually when endpoint is soft reset")
