Subject: [PATCH] USB: Don't set USB_PORT_FEAT_SUSPEND on WD19's Realtek Hub

From: Chris Chiu <[email protected]>

Realtek Hub (0bda:5413) in Dell Dock WD19 sometimes fails to work
after the system resumes from suspend with remote wakeup enabled
device connected:
[ 1947.640907] hub 5-2.3:1.0: hub_ext_port_status failed (err = -71)
[ 1947.641208] usb 5-2.3-port5: cannot disable (err = -71)
[ 1947.641401] hub 5-2.3:1.0: hub_ext_port_status failed (err = -71)
[ 1947.641450] usb 5-2.3-port4: cannot reset (err = -71)

Information of this hub:
T: Bus=01 Lev=02 Prnt=02 Port=02 Cnt=01 Dev#= 9 Spd=480 MxCh= 6
D: Ver= 2.10 Cls=09(hub ) Sub=00 Prot=02 MxPS=64 #Cfgs= 1
P: Vendor=0bda ProdID=5413 Rev= 1.21
S: Manufacturer=Dell Inc.
S: Product=Dell dock
C:* #Ifs= 1 Cfg#= 1 Atr=a0 MxPwr= 0mA
I: If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 1 Cls=09(hub ) Sub=00 Prot=01 Driver=hub
E: Ad=81(I) Atr=03(Int.) MxPS= 1 Ivl=256ms
I:* If#= 0 Alt= 1 #EPs= 1 Cls=09(hub ) Sub=00 Prot=02 Driver=hub
E: Ad=81(I) Atr=03(Int.) MxPS= 1 Ivl=256ms

The failure results from the ETIMEDOUT by chance when turning on
the suspend feature of the hub. The usb_resume_device will not be
invoked since the device state is not set to suspended, then the
hub fails to activate subsequently.

The USB_PORT_FEAT_SUSPEND is not really necessary due to the
"global suspend" in USB 2.0 spec. It's only for many hub devices
which don't relay wakeup requests from the devices connected to
downstream ports. For this realtek hub, there's no problem waking
up the system from connected keyboard.

This commit bypasses the USB_PORT_FEAT_SUSPEND for the quirky hub.

What about runtime suspend? That _does_ require USB_PORT_FEAT_SUSPEND.

You should test hub->hdev->quirks, here, not udev->quirks. The quirk
belongs to the Realtek hub, not to the device that's plugged into the
hub.

It's hard to reproduce the same thing with runtime PM. I also don't
know the aggressive
way to trigger runtime suspend. So I'm assuming the same thing will happen in
runtime PM case because they both go the same usb_port_resume path. Could
you please suggest a better way to verify this for runtime PM?

Thanks for pointing that out. I'll verify again and propose a V2 after
it's done.

To put a USB device into runtime suspend, do this:

echo 0 >/sys/bus/usb/devices/.../bConfigurationValue
echo auto >/sys/bus/usb/devices/.../power/control

where ... is the pathname for the device you want to suspend. (Note
that this will unbind the device from its driver, so make sure there's
no possibility of data loss before you do it.)

To resume the device, write "on" to the power/control file. You can
verify the runtime-PM status by reading the files in the power/
subdirectory.

Another thing to consider: You shouldn't return 0 from usb_port_suspend
if the port wasn't actually suspended. We don't want to kernel to have
a false idea of the hardware's current state.

Thanks for the instructions. I can hit the same timeout problem with
runtime PM. The
fail rate seems the same as normal PM. (around 1/4 ~ 1/7)

So we still need the "really_suspend=false". What if I replace it with
the following?
It's a little verbose but expressive enough. Any suggestions?

Since these are random failures, occurring at a low rate, maybe it would
help simply to retry the transfer that timed out. Have you tested this?

You should do something more like this:

- else if (PMSG_IS_AUTO(msg) || usb_wakeup_enabled_descendants(udev) > 0)
- status = set_port_feature(hub->hdev, port1,
- USB_PORT_FEAT_SUSPEND);
- else {
+ else if (PMSG_IS_AUTO(msg) || usb_wakeup_enabled_descendants(udev) > 0) {
+ if (hub->hdev->quirks & USB_QUIRK_NO_SUSPEND)
+ status = -EIO;
+ else
+ status = set_port_feature(hub->hdev, port1,
+ USB_PORT_FEAT_SUSPEND);
+ } else {
really_suspend = false;
status = 0;
}

But I would prefer to find a way to make port suspend actually work,
instead of giving up on it.

The problem is the port seems to be dead (at least unresponsive) after
USB_PORT_FEAT_SUSPEND. If I turned on the xhci_hcd debug message,
I'll see lots of retries of the control URB as follows which never get acked
in failure cases.
[ 126.616105] xhci_hcd 0000:04:00.3: ep 0x81 - asked for 2 bytes, 1
bytes untransferred

I tried to increase the timeout from 1 second to 2 second and also tried
set USB_PORT_FEAT_SUSPEND again after timeout, but still get timeout.
That also explains why hub_ext_port_status returns -71 (EPROTO from xhci)
in hub_activate() during resuming since the port is in an unknown state.

I tried to do that and also dig into the xhci code to check why the TD
(Transfer Descriptor) of the corresponding control msg URB was not
completed. Unfortunately, I didn't find a reasonable answer. I'll verify
the status -EIO and propose a v3 if everything's fine. Please let me
know if there's anything worth trying. Thanks.
