commit 22547c4cc4fe20698a6a85a55b8788859134b8e4 upstream. On a system with a defective USB device connected to an USB hub, an endless sequence of port connect events was observed. The sequence of events as observed is as follows: - Port reports connected event (port status=USB_PORT_STAT_CONNECTION). - Event handler debounces port and resets it by calling hub_port_reset(). - hub_port_reset() calls hub_port_wait_reset() to wait for the reset to complete. - The reset completes, but USB_PORT_STAT_CONNECTION is not immediately set in the port status register. - hub_port_wait_reset() returns -ENOTCONN. - Port initialization sequence is aborted. - A few milliseconds later, the port again reports a connected event, and the sequence repeats. This continues either forever or, randomly, stops if the connection is already re-established when the port status is read. It results in a high rate of udev events. This in turn destabilizes userspace since the above sequence holds the device mutex pretty much continuously and prevents userspace from actually reading the device status. To prevent the problem from happening, let's wait for the connection to be re-established after a port reset. If the device was actually disconnected, the code will still return an error, but it will do so only after the long reset timeout.

To understand all the Linux-USB framework, you'll use these resources:
* This source code. This is necessarily an evolving work, and
includes kerneldoc that should help you get a current overview.
("make pdfdocs", and then look at "usb.pdf" for host side and
"gadget.pdf" for peripheral side.) Also, Documentation/usb has
more information.
* The USB 2.0 specification (from www.usb.org), with supplements
such as those for USB OTG and the various device classes.
The USB specification has a good overview chapter, and USB
peripherals conform to the widely known "Chapter 9".
* Chip specifications for USB controllers. Examples include
host controllers (on PCs, servers, and more); peripheral
controllers (in devices with Linux firmware, like printers or
cell phones); and hard-wired peripherals like Ethernet adapters.
* Specifications for other protocols implemented by USB peripheral
functions. Some are vendor-specific; others are vendor-neutral
but just standardized outside of the www.usb.org team.
Here is a list of what each subdirectory here is, and what is contained in
them.
core/ - This is for the core USB host code, including the
usbfs files and the hub class driver ("hub_wq").
host/ - This is for USB host controller drivers. This
includes UHCI, OHCI, EHCI, and others that might
be used with more specialized "embedded" systems.
gadget/ - This is for USB peripheral controller drivers and
the various gadget drivers which talk to them.
Individual USB driver directories. A new driver should be added to the
first subdirectory in the list below that it fits into.
image/ - This is for still image drivers, like scanners or
digital cameras.
../input/ - This is for any driver that uses the input subsystem,
like keyboard, mice, touchscreens, tablets, etc.
../media/ - This is for multimedia drivers, like video cameras,
radios, and any other drivers that talk to the v4l
subsystem.
../net/ - This is for network drivers.
serial/ - This is for USB to serial drivers.
storage/ - This is for USB mass-storage drivers.
class/ - This is for all USB device drivers that do not fit
into any of the above categories, and work for a range
of USB Class specified devices.
misc/ - This is for all USB device drivers that do not fit
into any of the above categories.
