Prashanth K ea48826815 UPSTREAM: usb: xhci: Use temporary buffer to consolidate SG
The Synopsys xHC has an internal TRB cache of size TRB_CACHE_SIZE for
each endpoint. The default value for TRB_CACHE_SIZE is 16 for SS and 8
for HS. The controller loads and updates the TRB cache from the transfer
ring in system memory whenever the driver issues a start transfer or
update transfer command.

For chained TRBs, the Synopsys xHC requires that the total amount of
bytes for all TRBs loaded in the TRB cache be greater than or equal to 1
MPS. Or the chain ends within the TRB cache (with a last TRB).

If this requirement is not met, the controller will not be able to send
or receive a packet and it will hang causing a driver timeout and error.

This can be a problem if a class driver queues SG requests with many
small-buffer entries. The XHCI driver will create a chained TRB for each
entry which may trigger this issue.

This patch adds logic to the XHCI driver to detect and prevent this from
happening.

For every (TRB_CACHE_SIZE - 2), we check the total buffer size of
the SG list and if the last window of (TRB_CACHE_SIZE - 2) SG list length
and we don't make up at least 1 MPS, we create a temporary buffer to
consolidate full SG list into the buffer.

We check at (TRB_CACHE_SIZE - 2) window because it is possible that there
would be a link and/or event data TRB that take up to 2 of the cache
entries.

We discovered this issue with devices on other platforms but have not
yet come across any device that triggers this on Linux. But it could be
a real problem now or in the future. All it takes is N number of small
chained TRBs. And other instances of the Synopsys IP may have smaller
values for the TRB_CACHE_SIZE which would exacerbate the problem.

How do I submit patches to Android Common Kernels

  1. BEST: Make all of your changes to upstream Linux. If appropriate, backport to the stable releases. These patches will be merged automatically in the corresponding common kernels. If the patch is already in upstream Linux, post a backport of the patch that conforms to the patch requirements below.

  2. LESS GOOD: Develop your patches out-of-tree (from an upstream Linux point-of-view). Unless these are fixing an Android-specific bug, these are very unlikely to be accepted unless they have been coordinated with kernel-team@android.com. If you want to proceed, post a patch that conforms to the patch requirements below.

Common Kernel patch requirements

  • All patches must conform to the Linux kernel coding standards and pass script/checkpatch.pl
  • Patches shall not break gki_defconfig or allmodconfig builds for arm, arm64, x86, x86_64 architectures (see https://source.android.com/setup/build/building-kernels)
  • If the patch is not merged from an upstream branch, the subject must be tagged with the type of patch: UPSTREAM:, BACKPORT:, FROMGIT:, FROMLIST:, or ANDROID:.
  • All patches must have a Change-Id: tag (see https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/Documentation/user-changeid.html)
  • If an Android bug has been assigned, there must be a Bug: tag.
  • All patches must have a Signed-off-by: tag by the author and the submitter

Additional requirements are listed below based on patch type

Requirements for backports from mainline Linux: UPSTREAM:, BACKPORT:

  • If the patch is a cherry-pick from Linux mainline with no changes at all
    • tag the patch subject with UPSTREAM:.
    • add upstream commit information with a (cherry-picked from ...) line
    • Example:
      • if the upstream commit message is
        important patch from upstream

        This is the detailed description of the important patch

  • If the patch requires any changes from the upstream version, tag the patch with BACKPORT: instead of UPSTREAM:.
    • use the same tags as UPSTREAM:
    • add comments about the changes under the (cherry-picked from ...) line
    • Example:
        BACKPORT: important patch from upstream

Requirements for other backports: FROMGIT:, FROMLIST:,

  • If the patch has been merged into an upstream maintainer tree, but has not yet been merged into Linux mainline
    • tag the patch subject with FROMGIT:
    • add info on where the patch came from as (cherry picked from commit <sha1> <repo> <branch>). This must be a stable maintainer branch (not rebased, so don't use linux-next for example).
    • if changes were required, use BACKPORT: FROMGIT:
    • Example:
      • if the commit message in the maintainer tree is
        important patch from upstream

        This is the detailed description of the important patch
