Subject: [PATCH 5.4 076/108] xhci: Fix lost USB 2 remote wake

From: Mathias Nyman <mathias.nyman@...ux.intel.com>

commit 72f68bf5c756f5ce1139b31daae2684501383ad5 upstream.

There's a small window where a USB 2 remote wake may be left unhandled
due to a race between hub thread and xhci port event interrupt handler.

When the resume event is detected in the xhci interrupt handler it kicks
the hub timer, which should move the port from resume to U0 once resume
has been signalled for long enough.

To keep the hub "thread" running we set a bus_state->resuming_ports flag.
This flag makes sure hub timer function kicks itself.

checking this flag was not properly protected by the spinlock. Flag was
copied to a local variable before lock was taken. The local variable was
then checked later with spinlock held.

If interrupt is handled right after copying the flag to the local variable
we end up stopping the hub thread before it can handle the USB 2 resume.

CPU0					CPU1
(hub thread)				(xhci event handler)

xhci_hub_status_data()
status = bus_state->resuming_ports;
					<Interrupt>
					handle_port_status()
					spin_lock()
					bus_state->resuming_ports = 1
					set_flag(HCD_FLAG_POLL_RH)
					spin_unlock()
spin_lock()
if (!status)
  clear_flag(HCD_FLAG_POLL_RH)
spin_unlock()

Fix this by taking the lock a bit earlier so that it covers
the resuming_ports flag copy in the hub thread
