The system can hit a deadlock if an xhci adapter breaks while initializing. The deadlock is between two threads: thread 1 is tearing down the adapter and is stuck in usb_unlocked_disable_lpm waiting to lock the hcd->handwidth_mutex. Thread 2 is holding this mutex (while still trying to add a usb device), but is stuck in xhci_endpoint_reset waiting for a stop or config command to complete. A reboot is required to resolve.It turns out when calling xhci_queue_stop_endpoint and xhci_queue_configure_endpoint in xhci_endpoint_reset, the return code is not checked for errors. If the timing is right and the adapter dies just before either of these commands get issued, we hang indefinitely waiting for a completion on a command that didn't get issued. This wasn't a problem before the following fix because we didn't send commands in xhci_endpoint_reset: commit f5249461b504 ("xhci: Clear the host side toggle manually when endpoint is soft reset") With the patch I am submitting, a duration test which breaks adapters during initialization (and which deadlocks with the standard kernel) runs without issue.
