Attached is my usbmon "cheat sheet".  It's a big help in deciphering 
common control transfers.

I wrote it before USB-3 came out, and I never included the USB-3 hub
commands and status bits.  If you feel like adding those on to the

Hi

Sorry about not answering earlier, many new things piled up during my vacation 
and needed attention.

If I can find some spare time I'll try to take another look, but don't let any 
bigger
project pend on this alone.

In addition to digging into the code yourself, the best thing I can recommend 
is taking
new logs with the  latest 3.19-rc kernel with both xhci and usb core verbose 
debugging:

echo -n 'module xhci_hcd =p' > /sys/kernel/debug/dynamic_debug/control
echo -n 'module usbcore =p' >/sys/kernel/debug/dynamic_debug/control

also usbmon traces can be helpful, at least for others, I'm myself horribly 
slow at deciphering those

Looks like it first finds a mismatch in max packet size after device is 
addressed, xhci tries to  re-configure the endpoint to match the new 
maxpacket size. It says it succeeds but immediately  after that halts the
endpoint. After this we see most of the usb transfers cancelled.

Things to try:

- use old style enumeration, before pluging in your device do:
  'echo y > /sys/module/usbcore/parameters/old_scheme_first'

- use 3.18 kernel, it has fixes for misbehaving halted control endpoints

- hack the xhci code and remove setting the new maxpacket size, and see if
  it makes a difference.
  Do a codechange like this, (copy-pasted diff), and rebuild:

diff --git a/drivers/usb/host/xhci.c b/drivers/usb/host/xhci.c

Re: USB 3.0 and xHCI Host-Controller

2014-12-18 Thread Gustavo Duarte
Mathias /Guys,

I got the debug log of the xhci_hcd module, during the communication
with the robot kit (Lego brick).

Attached are two files:

brick-boot.log:
The brick is connected to USB port, and press switch ON button.

upload.log:
The brick is already ON, and start the uploading of an application
code from PC -> Brick, the uploading procedure never finished.

I don't know so much about usb communications, but seeing these file
logs, I didn't see any estrange message.

What do you think, can you see some clue there ?

Another things that i can do after that, is obtain the messages of the
communication with the brick on a PC where all work fine, and compare
both. I don't know if this would be useful because, the driver used is
ehci-pci.


Thanks in advance.

Gustavo.

It's possible Can you upgrade to a more recent kernel and see if it helps?
There are a lot of xhci changes since 3.13.  Current is 3.18

what does dmesg say? any xhci related errors?

You can enable more verbose xhci debugging with:
echo -n 'module xhci_hcd =p' > /sys/kernel/debug/dynamic_debug/control

then start communicating with your device, and show the output of dmesg. 
 
Requires dynamic debug support and debugfs mounted, I think many distributions 
have them as default.
