Hi Sarah,
David is right, this patch may lead to the last trb in an event ring
unprocessed according to the current logic, you can reject this patch, although
I think index out-of-bounds is reasonable.
If applying this patch, then corresponding function(inc_deq()) should be
modified, maybe like the following way:
diff --git a/drivers/usb/host/xhci-ring.c b/drivers/usb/host/xhci-ring.c
index d26cd94..0dbaa56 100644
--- a/drivers/usb/host/xhci-ring.c
+++ b/drivers/usb/host/xhci-ring.c
@@ -185,7 +185,7 @@ static void inc_deq(struct xhci_hcd *xhci, struct xhci_ring
*ring)
} else {
ring->dequeue++;
}
- } while (last_trb(xhci, ring, ring->deq_seg, ring->dequeue));
+ } while (last_trb(xhci, ring, ring->deq_seg, ring->dequeue) &&
ring->type != TYPE_EVENT);
addr = (unsigned long long) xhci_trb_virt_to_dma(ring->deq_seg,
ring->dequeue);
}
Thanks & Br,
Lin

State your objections clearly.
Based on my analysis, this patch will produce correct behavior with the event
ring:

Am I missing something?
