[RFC,06/14] usb: core: hcd: Introduce USB HCD APIs for interrupter management
Commit Message
For USB HCDs that can support multiple USB interrupters, expose functions
that class drivers can utilize for setting up secondary interrupters.
Class drivers can pass this information to its respective clients, i.e.
a dedicated DSP.

Where is the locking here that seems to be required when a hcd is
removed from the system and you have data in flight? What am I missing
here in the design of this?
And yes, HCDs get removed all the time, and will happen more and more in
the future with the design of more systems moving to Thunderbolt/PCIe
designs due to the simplicity of it.

Wait, you return a physical address? What are you going to do with
that? And what guarantees that the address is valid after you return it
(again, remember memory and devices can be removed at any point in time.

You know, there already is a function that does this. It's named
usb_hcd_flush_endpoint(). No need to add another function that does the
same thing.

Thanks for the suggestion and review.
Hmmm...maybe I should change the name of the API then to avoid the
confusion. Yes, usb_hcd_flush_endpoint() does ensure that URBs
submitted to the EP are stopped. However, with this offloading concept,
we aren't actually submitting URBs from the main processor, so the
ep->urb_list will be empty.
This means the usb_hcd_flush_endpoint() API won't actually do anything.
What we need is to ensure that we send a XHCI stop ep command to the
controller.
Thanks

The XHCI driver is the one that maintains the list of interrupters that
are available, so the locking was placed in the XHCI driver versus
adding it in the core hcd layer.

As part of the HCD removal, it has to first ensure that class driver
interfaces, and the connected udevs are removed first. qc_audio_offload
will first handle the transfer cleanup and stopping of the audio stream
before returning from the disconnect callback. (this includes ensuring
that the interrupter is released)
This concept is how all usb class drivers are currently implemented.
When the HCD remove occurs, the class drivers are the ones responsible
for ensuring that all URBs are stopped, and removed before it returns
from its respective disconnect callback.

Interrupter is defined in the XHCI spec, refer to "section 4.17

The interrupter is basically another event ring which is the buffer
allocated for the controller to copy events into. Since the audio dsp
now takes over handling of the endpoint events, then it needs to know
where the buffer resides. Will fix the interruper typo as well.
The allocation and freeing of this event ring follows how XHCI allocates
and frees the main event ring as well. This API just reserves the
interrupter for the class driver, and return the previously allocated
(during XHCI init) memory address.

That is a concept specific to XHCI, yet you are adding a generic
API. The namin should reflect that. usb_quiesce_endpoint() ?

Or even xhci_send_stop_ep_cmd(), which is what the routine is intended
to do.

Just to clarify, you're talking about renaming the API that was added in
the XHCI driver, correct?

To be precise, we're talking about renaming your usb_hcd_stop_endpoint()
function, although similar arguments probably apply to your
usb_free_interrupter(), usb_set_interrupter(), and
usb_hcd_get_transfer_resource() routines.
You wrote earlier:
The XHCI driver is the one that maintains the list of
interrupters that are available, so the locking was placed in
the XHCI driver versus adding it in the core hcd layer.
The "stop ep" functionality and other interrupter management things you
want to add seem a lot like this locking stuff. Since you decided to
put the locking in the xhci-hcd driver instead of the core HCD layer, it
would be logical to do the same with the "stop ep" and other routines.
Which means there shouldn't be any need to make changes to hcd.c or
include/linux/usb/hcd.h.
