How it's supposed to work:
--------------------------
USB 2.0 Link PM is a lower power state that some newer USB 2.0 devices
support. USB 3.0 devices certified by the USB-IF are required to
support it if they are plugged into a USB 2.0 only port, or a USB 2.0
cable is used. USB 2.0 Link PM requires both a USB device and a host
controller that supports USB 2.0 hardware-enabled LPM.
USB 2.0 Link PM is designed to be enabled once by software, and the host
hardware handles transitions to the L1 state automatically. The premise
of USB 2.0 Link PM is to be able to put the device into a lower power
link state when the bus is idle or the device NAKs USB IN transfers for
a specified amount of time.
...but hardware is broken:
--------------------------
It turns out many USB 3.0 devices claim to support USB 2.0 Link PM (by
setting the LPM bit in their USB 2.0 BOS descriptor), but they don't
actually implement it correctly. This manifests as the USB device
refusing to respond to transfers when it is plugged into a USB 2.0 only
port under the Haswell-ULT/Lynx Point LP xHCI host.
These devices pass the xHCI driver's simple test to enable USB 2.0 Link
PM, wait for the port to enter L1, and then bring it back into L0. They
only start to break when L1 entry is interleaved with transfers.
Some devices then fail to respond to the next control transfer (usually
a Set Configuration). This results in devices never enumerating.
Other mass storage devices (such as a later model Western Digital My
Passport USB 3.0 hard drive) respond fine to going into L1 between
control transfers. They ACK the entry, come out of L1 when the host
needs to send a control transfer, and respond properly to those control
transfers. However, when the first READ10 SCSI command is sent, the
device NAKs the data phase while it's reading from the spinning disk.
Eventually, the host requests to put the link into L1, and the device
ACKs that request. Then it never responds to the data phase of the
READ10 command. This results in not being able to read from the drive.
Some mass storage devices (like the Corsair Survivor USB 3.0 flash
drive) are well behaved. They ACK the entry into L1 during control
transfers, and when SCSI commands start coming in, they NAK the requests
to go into L1, because they need to be at full power.
Not all USB 3.0 devices advertise USB 2.0 link PM support. My Point
Grey USB 3.0 webcam advertises itself as a USB 2.1 device, but doesn't
have a USB 2.0 BOS descriptor, so we don't enable USB 2.0 Link PM. I
suspect that means the device isn't certified.
What do we do about it?
-----------------------
There's really no good way for the kernel to test these devices.
Therefore, the kernel needs to disable USB 2.0 Link PM by default, and
distros will have to enable it by writing 1 to the sysfs file
/sys/bus/usb/devices/../power/usb2_hardware_lpm. Rip out the xHCI Link
PM test, since it's not sufficient to detect these buggy devices, and
don't automatically enable LPM after the device is addressed.
This patch should be backported to kernels as old as 3.11, that
contain the commit a558ccdcc7 "usb: xhci:
add USB2 Link power management BESL support". Without this fix, some
USB 3.0 devices will not enumerate or work properly under USB 2.0 ports
on Haswell-ULT systems.

This patch straightens out some locking issues in the USB sysfs
interface:
Deauthorization will destroy existing configurations.
Attributes that read from udev->actconfig need to lock the
device to prevent races. Likewise for the rawdescriptor
values.
Attributes that access an interface's current alternate
setting should use ACCESS_ONCE() to obtain the cur_altsetting
pointer, to protect against concurrent altsetting changes.
The supports_autosuspend() attribute routine accesses values
from an interface's driver, so it should lock the interface
(rather than the usb_device) to protect against concurrent
unbinds. Once this is done, the routine can be simplified
considerably.
Scalar values that are stored directly in the usb_device structure are
always available. They do not require any locking. The same is true
of the cached interface string descriptor, because it is not
deallocated until the usb_host_interface structure is destroyed.

This patch (as1554) fixes a lockdep false-positive report. The
problem arises because lockdep is unable to deal with the
tree-structured locks created by the device core and sysfs.
This particular problem involves a sysfs attribute method that
unregisters itself, not from the device it was called for, but from a
descendant device. Lockdep doesn't understand the distinction and
reports a possible deadlock, even though the operation is safe.
This is the sort of thing that would normally be handled by using a
nested lock annotation; unfortunately it's not feasible to do that
here. There's no sensible way to tell sysfs when attribute removal
occurs in the context of a parent attribute method.
As a workaround, the patch adds a new flag to struct attribute
telling sysfs not to inform lockdep when it acquires a readlock on a
sysfs_dirent instance for the attribute. The readlock is still
acquired, but lockdep doesn't know about it and hence does not
complain about impossible deadlock scenarios.
Also added are macros for static initialization of attribute
structures with the ignore_lockdep flag set. The three offending
attributes in the USB subsystem are converted to use the new macros.

prevent device from autosuspending. The current code checks for

This patch (as1326) adds usb_enable_autosuspend() and

knows that its device can handle suspends and resumes correctly, it
can enable autosuspend all by itself. This is equivalent to the user
writing "auto" to the device's power/level attribute.
The implementation differs slightly from what it used to be. Now
autosuspend is disabled simply by doing usb_autoresume_device() (to
increment the usage counter) and enabled by doing
usb_autosuspend_device() (to decrement the usage counter).
The set_level() attribute method is updated to use the new routines,
and the USB Power-Management documentation is updated.

This patch (as1323) changes the locking requirements for

usb_try_autosuspend_device(). This isn't a very important change;
mainly it's meant to make the locking more uniform.
The most tricky part of the patch involves changes to usbdev_open().
To avoid an ABBA locking problem, it was necessary to reduce the
region protected by usbfs_mutex. Since that mutex now protects only
against simultaneous open and remove, this posed no difficulty -- its
scope was larger than necessary.
And it turns out that usbfs_mutex is no longer needed in
usbdev_release() at all. The list of usbfs "ps" structures is now
protected by the device lock instead of by usbfs_mutex.

This patch (as1297) adds a "remove" attribute to each USB device's
directory in sysfs. Writing to this attribute causes the device to be
deconfigured (the same as writing 0 to the "bConfigurationValue"
attribute) and then tells the hub driver to disable the device's
upstream port. The device remains locked during these activities so
there is no possibility of it getting reconfigured in between. The
port will remain disabled until after the device is unplugged.
The purpose of this is to provide a means for user programs to imitate
the "Safely remove hardware" applet in Windows. Some devices do
expect their ports to be disabled before they are unplugged, and they
provide visual feedback to users indicating when they can safely be
unplugged.
The security implications are minimal. Writing to the "remove"
attribute is no more dangerous than writing to the
"bConfigurationValue" attribute.

This patch (as1185) makes usbcore take advantage of the bus
notifications sent out by the driver core. Now we can create all our

uevent is broadcast.
A side effect is that we no longer create the endpoint "pseudo"
devices at the same time as a device or interface is registered -- it
seems like a bad idea to try registering an endpoint before the
registration of its parent is complete. So the routines for creating
and removing endpoint devices have been split out and renamed, and
they are called explicitly when needed. A new bitflag is used for
keeping track of whether or not the interface's endpoint devices have
been created, since (just as with the interface attributes) they vary
with the altsetting and hence can be changed at random times.

In addition, special pm_message_t values are used for user-initiated,
device-initiated (i.e., remote wakeup), and automatic suspend/resume.
By testing these values, drivers can tell whether or not a particular
suspend was an autosuspend. Unfortunately, they can't do the same for
resumes -- not until the pm_message_t argument is also passed to the
drivers' resume methods. That will require a bigger change.
