Running io_watchdog_func() while ohci_urb_enqueue() is running can
cause a race condition where ohci->prev_frame_no is corrupted and the
watchdog can mis-detect following error:
ohci-platform 664a0800.usb: frame counter not updating; disabled
ohci-platform 664a0800.usb: HC died; cleaning up
Specifically, following scenario causes a race condition:
1. ohci_urb_enqueue() calls spin_lock_irqsave(&ohci->lock, flags)
and enters the critical section
2. ohci_urb_enqueue() calls timer_pending(&ohci->io_watchdog) and it
returns false
3. ohci_urb_enqueue() sets ohci->prev_frame_no to a frame number
read by ohci_frame_no(ohci)
4. ohci_urb_enqueue() schedules io_watchdog_func() with mod_timer()
5. ohci_urb_enqueue() calls spin_unlock_irqrestore(&ohci->lock,
flags) and exits the critical section
6. Later, ohci_urb_enqueue() is called
7. ohci_urb_enqueue() calls spin_lock_irqsave(&ohci->lock, flags)
and enters the critical section
8. The timer scheduled on step 4 expires and io_watchdog_func() runs
9. io_watchdog_func() calls spin_lock_irqsave(&ohci->lock, flags)
and waits on it because ohci_urb_enqueue() is already in the
critical section on step 7
10. ohci_urb_enqueue() calls timer_pending(&ohci->io_watchdog) and it
returns false
11. ohci_urb_enqueue() sets ohci->prev_frame_no to new frame number
read by ohci_frame_no(ohci) because the frame number proceeded
between step 3 and 6
12. ohci_urb_enqueue() schedules io_watchdog_func() with mod_timer()
13. ohci_urb_enqueue() calls spin_unlock_irqrestore(&ohci->lock,
flags) and exits the critical section, then wake up
io_watchdog_func() which is waiting on step 9
14. io_watchdog_func() enters the critical section
15. io_watchdog_func() calls ohci_frame_no(ohci) and set frame_no
variable to the frame number
16. io_watchdog_func() compares frame_no and ohci->prev_frame_no
On step 16, because this calling of io_watchdog_func() is scheduled on
step 4, the frame number set in ohci->prev_frame_no is expected to the
number set on step 3. However, ohci->prev_frame_no is overwritten on
step 11. Because step 16 is executed soon after step 11, the frame
number might not proceed, so ohci->prev_frame_no must equals to
frame_no.
To address above scenario, this patch introduces timer_running flag to
ohci_hcd structure. Setting true to ohci->timer_running indicates
io_watchdog_func() is scheduled or is running. ohci_urb_enqueue()
checks the flag when it schedules the watchdog (step 4 and 12 above),
so ohci->prev_frame_no is not overwritten while io_watchdog_func() is
running.
