There is no need to have separate kthread for handling USB hub events.
It is more elegant to use the workqueue framework.
The workqueue is allocated as freezable because the original thread was
freezable as well.
Also it is allocated as ordered because the code is not ready for parallel
processing of hub events, see choose_devnum().
struct usb_hub is passed via the work item. Therefore we do not need
hub_event_list.
Also hub_thread() is not longer needed. It would call only hub_event().
The rest of the code did manipulate the kthread and it is handled by the
workqueue framework now.
kick_khubd is renamed to kick_hub_wq() to make the function clear. And the
protection against races is done another way, see below.
hub_event_lock has been removed. It cannot longer be used to protect struct
usb_hub between hub_event() and hub_disconnect(). Instead we need to get
hub->kref already in kick_hub_wq().
The lock is not really needed for the other scenarios as well. queue_work()
returns whether it succeeded. We could revert the needed operations
accordingly. This is enough to avoid duplicity and inconsistencies.
Yes, the removed lock causes that there is not longer such a strong
synchronization between scheduling the work and manipulating
hub->disconnected.
But kick_hub_wq() must never be called together with hub_disconnect()
otherwise even the original code would have failed. Any callers are
responsible for this.
Therefore the only problem is that hub_disconnect() could be called in parallel
with hub_event(). But this was possible even in the past. struct usb_hub is
still guarded by hub->kref and released in hub_events() when needed.
Note that the source file is still full of the obsolete "khubd" strings.
Let's remove them in a follow up patch. This patch already is complex enough.
Thanks a lot Alan Stern <stern@rowland.harvard.edu> for code review, many useful
tips and guidance. Also thanks to Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> for hints how to
allocate the workqueue.

Resuming a powered down port sometimes results in the port state being
stuck in the training sequence.
hub 3-0:1.0: debounce: port 1: total 2000ms stable 0ms status 0x2e0
port1: can't get reconnection after setting port power on, status -110
hub 3-0:1.0: port 1 status 0000.02e0 after resume, -19
usb 3-1: can't resume, status -19
hub 3-0:1.0: logical disconnect on port 1
In the case above we wait for the port re-connect timeout of 2 seconds
and observe that the port status is USB_SS_PORT_LS_POLLING (although it
is likely toggling between this state and USB_SS_PORT_LS_RX_DETECT).
This is indicative of a case where the device is failing to progress the
link training state machine.
It is resolved by issuing a warm reset to get the hub and device link
state machines back in sync.
hub 3-0:1.0: debounce: port 1: total 2000ms stable 0ms status 0x2e0
usb usb3: port1 usb_port_runtime_resume requires warm reset
hub 3-0:1.0: port 1 not warm reset yet, waiting 50ms
usb 3-1: reset SuperSpeed USB device number 2 using xhci_hcd
After a reconnect timeout when we expect the device to be present, force
a warm reset of the device. Note that we can not simply look at the
link status to determine if a warm reset is required as any of the
training states USB_SS_PORT_LS_POLLING, USB_SS_PORT_LS_RX_DETECT, or
USB_SS_PORT_LS_COMP_MOD are valid states that do not indicate the need
for warm reset by themselves.

Commit 9262c19d14 "usb: disable port power control if not supported in
wHubCharacteristics" gated enabling runtime pm for usb_port devices on
whether the parent hub supports power control, which causes a
regression. The port must still be allowed to carry out runtime pm
callbacks and receive a -EAGAIN or -EBUSY result. Otherwise the
usb_port device will transition to the pm error state and trigger the
same for the child usb_device.
Prior to the offending commit usb_hub_create_port_device() arranged for
runtime pm to be disabled is dev_pm_qos_expose_flags() failed. Instead,
force the default state of PM_QOS_FLAG_NO_POWER_OFF flag to be set prior
to enabling runtime pm. If that policy can not be set then fail
registration.

In general we do not want khubd to act on port status changes that are
the result of in progress resets or USB runtime PM operations.
Specifically port power control testing has been able to trigger an
unintended disconnect in hub_port_connect_change(), paraphrasing:
if ((portstatus & USB_PORT_STAT_CONNECTION) && udev &&
udev->state != USB_STATE_NOTATTACHED) {
if (portstatus & USB_PORT_STAT_ENABLE) {
/* Nothing to do */
} else if (udev->state == USB_STATE_SUSPENDED &&
udev->persist_enabled) {
...
} else {
/* Don't resuscitate */;
}
}
...by falling to the "Don't resuscitate" path or missing
USB_PORT_STAT_CONNECTION because usb_port_resume() was in the middle of
modifying the port status.
So, we want a new lock to hold off khubd for a given port while the
child device is being suspended, resumed, or reset. The lock ordering
rules are now usb_lock_device() => usb_lock_port(). This is mandated by
the device core which may hold the device_lock on the usb_device before
invoking usb_port_{suspend|resume} which in turn take the status_lock on
the usb_port. We attempt to hold the status_lock for the duration of a
port_event() run, and drop/re-acquire it when needing to take the
device_lock. The lock is also dropped/re-acquired during
hub_port_reconnect().
This patch also deletes hub->busy_bits as all use cases are now covered
by port PM runtime synchronization or the port->status_lock and it
pushes down usb_device_lock() into usb_remote_wakeup().

ClearPortFeature(PORT_POWER) on a usb3 port places the port in either a
DSPORT.Powered-off-detect / DSPORT.Powered-off-reset loop, or the
DSPORT.Powered-off state. There is no way to ensure that RX
terminations will persist in this state, so it is possible a device will
degrade to its usb2 connection. Prevent this by blocking power-off of a
usb3 port while its usb2 peer is active, and powering on a usb3 port
before its usb2 peer.
By default the latency between peer power-on events is 0. In order for
the device to not see usb2 active while usb3 is still powering up inject
the hub recommended power_on_good delay. In support of satisfying the
power_on_good delay outside of hub_power_on() refactor the places where
the delay is consumed to call a new hub_power_on_good_delay() helper.
Finally, because this introduces several new checks for whether a port
is_superspeed, cache that disctinction at port creation so that we don't
need to keep looking up the parent hub device.

ACPI identifies peer ports by setting their 'group_token' and
'group_position' _PLD data to the same value. If a platform has tier
mismatch [1] , ACPI can override the default (USB3 defined) peer port
association for internal hubs. External hubs follow the default peer
association scheme.
Location data is cached as an opaque cookie in usb_port_location data.
Note that we only consider the group_token and group_position attributes
from the _PLD data as ACPI specifies that group_token is a unique
identifier.
When we find port location data for a port then we assume that the
firmware will also describe its peer port. This allows the
implementation to only ever set the peer once. This leads to a question
about what happens when a pm runtime event occurs while the peer
associations are still resolving. Since we only ever set the peer
information once, a USB3 port needs to be prevented from suspending
while its ->peer pointer is NULL (implemented in a subsequent patch).
There is always the possibility that firmware mis-identifies the ports,
but there is not much the kernel can do in that case.

Assume that the peer of a superspeed port is the port with the same id
on the shared_hcd root hub. This identification scheme is required of
external hubs by the USB3 spec [1]. However, for root hubs, tier mismatch
may be in effect [2]. Tier mismatch can only be enumerated via platform
firmware. For now, simply perform the nominal association.
A new lock 'usb_port_peer_mutex' is introduced to synchronize port
device add/remove with peer lookups. It protects peering against
changes to hcd->shared_hcd, hcd->self.root_hub, hdev->maxchild, and
port_dev->child pointers.

The USB core doesn't properly handle mutual exclusion between
resetting a hub and changing the power states of the hub's ports. We
need to avoid sending port-power requests to the hub while it is being
reset, because such requests cannot succeed.
This patch fixes the problem by keeping track of when a reset is in
progress. At such times, attempts to suspend (power-off) a port will
fail immediately with -EBUSY, and calls to usb_port_runtime_resume()
will update the power_is_on flag and return immediately. When the
reset is complete, hub_activate() will automatically restore each port
to the proper power state.

The hub driver was recently changed to use "global" suspend for system
suspend transitions on non-SuperSpeed buses. This means that we don't
suspend devices individually by setting the suspend feature on the
upstream hub port; instead devices all go into suspend automatically
when the root hub stops transmitting packets. The idea was to save
time and to avoid certain kinds of wakeup races.
Now it turns out that many hubs are buggy; they don't relay wakeup
requests from a downstream port to their upstream port if the
downstream port's suspend feature is not set (depending on the speed
of the downstream port, whether or not the hub is enabled for remote
wakeup, and possibly other factors).
We can't have hubs dropping wakeup requests. Therefore this patch
goes partway back to the old policy: It sets the suspend feature for a
port if the device attached to that port or any of its descendants is
enabled for wakeup. People will still be able to benefit from the
time savings if they don't care about wakeup and leave it disabled on
all their devices.
In order to accomplish this, the patch adds a new field to the usb_hub
structure: wakeup_enabled_descendants is a count of how many devices
below a suspended hub are enabled for remote wakeup. A corresponding
new subroutine determines the number of wakeup-enabled devices at or
below an arbitrary suspended USB device.
This should be applied to the 3.10 stable kernel.

This patch (as1255) updates the interface for calling
usb_hub_clear_tt_buffer(). Even the name of the function is changed!
When an async URB (i.e., Control or Bulk) going through a high-speed
hub to a non-high-speed device is cancelled or fails, the hub's
Transaction Translator buffer may be left busy still trying to
complete the transaction. The buffer has to be cleared; that's what
usb_hub_clear_tt_buffer() does.
It isn't safe to send any more URBs to the same endpoint until the TT
buffer is fully clear. Therefore the HCD needs to be told when the
Clear-TT-Buffer request has finished. This patch adds a callback
method to struct hc_driver for that purpose, and makes the hub driver
invoke the callback at the proper time.

Current Wireless USB host hardware (Intel i1480 for example) allows up
to 22 devices to connect, thus bringing up the max number of children
in the WUSB Host Controller to 22 'fake' ports. Upcoming hardware
might raise that limit.
Makes almost no difference to go to 31, as the bit arrays are
byte-aligned (plus an extra bit in general), so 22 bits fit in 4 bytes
as 31 do.
As well, the only other array that depends on USB_MAXCHILDREN is
'struct usb_hub->indicator'. By declaring it 'u8' instead of 'enum
hub_led_mode', we reduce the size of each entry from 4 bytes (in i386)
to 1, which will add as we when are doubling USB_MAXCHILDREN
(with 16 the size of that array is 64 bytes, with 31 would be 128; by
using u8 that goes down to 31 bytes).

This patch (as609) changes the way we keep track of power budgeting for
USB hubs and devices, and it updates the choose_configuration routine to
take this information into account. (This is something we should have
been doing all along.) A new field in struct usb_device holds the amount
of bus current available from the upstream port, and the usb_hub structure
keeps track of the current available for each downstream port.
Two new rules for configuration selection are added:
Don't select a self-powered configuration when only bus power
is available.
Don't select a configuration requiring more bus power than is
available.
However the first rule is #if-ed out, because I found that the internal
hub in my HP USB keyboard claims that its only configuration is
self-powered. The rule would prevent the configuration from being chosen,
leaving the hub & keyboard unconfigured. Since similar descriptor errors
may turn out to be fairly common, it seemed wise not to include a rule
that would break automatic configuration unnecessarily for such devices.
The second rule may also trigger unnecessarily, although this should be
less common. More likely it will annoy people by sometimes failing to
accept configurations that should never have been chosen in the first
place.
The patch also changes usbcore's reaction when no configuration is
suitable. Instead of raising an error and rejecting the device, now
the core will simply leave the device unconfigured. People can always
work around such problems by installing configurations manually through
sysfs.
