[FIX PATCH v1] Fix: common: usb_hub: Reset only USB3.0 hub

USB 3.0 spec requires hub to reset device while enumeration. Some USB 2.0 hubs / devices don't handle this well and after implementation of reset some USB 2.0 disks weren't detected on Allwinner based boards.
Resetting only when hub is USB 3.0 fixes it.

It would be good to include as many details about the faulty hardware in the commit message as possible, so that when someone else runs into this, they would have all that information available.

Should this condition be "all which are lower than superspeed" instead , so when the next generation of USB comes, this problem won't trigger ?

As of now Linux checks if the hub is superspeed https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/drivers/usb/core/hub.c#L2859
which is return hdev->descriptor.bDeviceProtocol == USB_HUB_PR_SS; // USB_HUB_PR_SS = 3
This holds true for newer SuperSpeedPlus hubs as well. https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/drivers/usb/core/hub.h#L155
We can change the check to be bDeviceProtocol > 2 but who knows if things change in the newer version of spec. I am open to suggestions.
Kind regards, Shantur

Please just include the ^ in the commit description. Use link to git.kernel.org , not some mirror . This is extremely useful information and, well, you already wrote the V2 commit message addition in this answer.

Oh, I'm really sorry to hear that. :( I hope you'll get better soon, and I know very well what's it like; I've also been sick recently, as a result of some kind of flu that unfortunately found its way into my lungs, and it took me about a month to get back to about 90% of my usual mental capacity. I'm still not back to exactly 100%. :/
I really hope you'll recover much faster.

------- >8 ------------- >8 ------------- >8 ------------- >8 ------- [PATCH v2] common: usb-hub: Reset USB 3.0 hubs only
Additional testing of the changes introduced in commit 33e06dcbe57a ("common: usb-hub: Reset hub port before scanning") revealed that some USB 3.0 flash drives didn't work in U-Boot on some Allwinner SoCs that support USB 2.0 only. More precisely, some tested USB 3.0 flash drives failed to be detected and work on an OrangePi Zero 3 with Allwinner H616 SoC, which supports USB 2.0 only, while the same USB flash drives worked just fine on a Pine64 H64 with Allwinner H6 SoC, which supports both USB 2.0 and 3.0.
Resetting USB 3.0 hubs only has been tested to work as expected, resolving the previous issues on the Allwinner H616, while not introducing any new issues on other Allwinner SoCs. Thus, let's fix it that way.
According to the USB 3.0 specification, resetting a USB 3.0 port is required when an attached USB device transitions between different states, such as when it resumes from suspend. Though, the Linux kernel performs additional USB 3.0 port resets upon initial USB device attachment, presumably to ensure proper state of the USB 3.0 hub port and proper USB mode negotiation during the initial USB device attachment and enumeration.
Such USB port resets don't seem to exist for USB 2.0 hubs, according the USB 2.0 specification. The resets seem to be added to the USB 3.0 specification as part of the port and device mode negotiation.
The Linux kernel also resets USB 3.0 (i.e. SuperSpeed) hubs only, as visible in file drivers/usb/core/hub.c in the kernel source, line 2859. This check also applies to newer SuperSpeed Plus (USB 3.1 or 3.2) hubs as well, which hopefully makes it future proof.

Please just include the ^ in the commit description. Use link to git.kernel.org , not some mirror . This is extremely useful information and, well, you already wrote the V2 commit message addition in this answer.
Shantur, if that would be easier or quicker for you, I can write a quite detailed patch description for you, in exchange for a "Helped-by" tag in the v2 patch submission. :)
That would be really kind of you Dragan.
Sure, I'll write the summary and send it over.
I am down with the flu so that would really help me as my brain is working at 15% capacity.
Oh, I'm really sorry to hear that. :( I hope you'll get better soon, and I know very well what's it like; I've also been sick recently, as a result of some kind of flu that unfortunately found its way into my lungs, and it took me about a month to get back to about 90% of my usual mental capacity. I'm still not back to exactly 100%. :/

[PATCH v2] common: usb-hub: Reset USB 3.0 hubs only
Additional testing of the changes introduced in commit 33e06dcbe57a ("common: usb-hub: Reset hub port before scanning") revealed that some USB 3.0 flash
I think it was a USB 2.0 drive that didn't work on the USB 2.0 port.
drives didn't work in U-Boot on some Allwinner SoCs that support USB 2.0 only. More precisely, some tested USB 3.0 flash drives failed to be detected and work on an OrangePi Zero 3 with Allwinner H616 SoC, which supports USB 2.0 only, while the same USB flash drives worked just fine on a Pine64 H64 with Allwinner H6 SoC, which supports both USB 2.0 and 3.0.
Resetting USB 3.0 hubs only has been tested to work as expected, resolving the previous issues on the Allwinner H616, while not introducing any new issues on other Allwinner SoCs. Thus, let's fix it that way.
According to the USB 3.0 specification, resetting a USB 3.0 port is required when an attached USB device transitions between different states, such as when it resumes from suspend. Though, the Linux kernel performs additional USB 3.0 port resets upon initial USB device attachment, presumably to ensure proper state of the USB 3.0 hub port and proper USB mode negotiation during the initial USB device attachment and enumeration.
Such USB port resets don't seem to exist for USB 2.0 hubs, according the USB 2.0 specification. The resets seem to be added to the USB 3.0 specification as part of the port and device mode negotiation.
The Linux kernel also resets USB 3.0 (i.e. SuperSpeed) hubs only, as visible in file drivers/usb/core/hub.c in the kernel source, line 2859. This check also applies to newer SuperSpeed Plus (USB 3.1 or 3.2) hubs as well, which hopefully makes it future proof.

That would be really kind of you Dragan.
Sure, I'll write the summary and send it over.
I am down with the flu so that would really help me as my brain is working at 15% capacity.
Oh, I'm really sorry to hear that. :( I hope you'll get better soon, and I know very well what's it like; I've also been sick recently, as a result of some kind of flu that unfortunately found its way into my lungs, and it took me about a month to get back to about 90% of my usual mental capacity. I'm still not back to exactly 100%. :/

Please send a V2 patch . If possible, include the device information as reported by Andre, esp. which USB stick triggered it, including USB IDs, this is important for future reference and in case someone has similar failure.
So the USB 2.0 stick is some no-name, unlabelled and super cheap one, I think we bought a pack of it, just for boot-strapping machines. The USB ID of "abcd:1234" kind of gives away that this is bogus AF. The USB 3.0 stick is a PNY 32GB one, the USB ID is: 1f75:0917 Innostor Technology Corporation IS917 Mass storage
Hope that helps.
Cheers, Andre
Please don't use "in the kernel source, line 2859", considering the rate of change of the Linux kernel, it is best to also include exact commit ID as of which this is a line 2859 and spell out this is referring to Linux kernel.

Oh, I'm really sorry to hear that. :( I hope you'll get better soon, and I know very well what's it like; I've also been sick recently, as a result of some kind of flu that unfortunately found its way into my lungs, and it took me about a month to get back to about 90% of my usual mental capacity. I'm still not back to exactly 100%. :/
I really hope you'll recover much faster.
I hope you're feeling better.
Below are the patch subject and description that I prepared for you, please have a look.
------- >8 ------------- >8 ------------- >8 ------------- >8 ------- [PATCH v2] common: usb-hub: Reset USB 3.0 hubs only
Additional testing of the changes introduced in commit 33e06dcbe57a ("common: usb-hub: Reset hub port before scanning") revealed that some USB 3.0 flash
I think it was a USB 2.0 drive that didn't work on the USB 2.0 port.
drives didn't work in U-Boot on some Allwinner SoCs that support USB 2.0 only. More precisely, some tested USB 3.0 flash drives failed to be detected and work on an OrangePi Zero 3 with Allwinner H616 SoC, which supports USB 2.0 only, while the same USB flash drives worked just fine on a Pine64 H64 with Allwinner H6 SoC, which supports both USB 2.0 and 3.0.
Resetting USB 3.0 hubs only has been tested to work as expected, resolving the previous issues on the Allwinner H616, while not introducing any new issues on other Allwinner SoCs. Thus, let's fix it that way.
According to the USB 3.0 specification, resetting a USB 3.0 port is required when an attached USB device transitions between different states, such as when it resumes from suspend. Though, the Linux kernel performs additional USB 3.0 port resets upon initial USB device attachment, presumably to ensure proper state of the USB 3.0 hub port and proper USB mode negotiation during the initial USB device attachment and enumeration.
Such USB port resets don't seem to exist for USB 2.0 hubs, according the USB 2.0 specification. The resets seem to be added to the USB 3.0 specification as part of the port and device mode negotiation.
The Linux kernel also resets USB 3.0 (i.e. SuperSpeed) hubs only, as visible in file drivers/usb/core/hub.c in the kernel source, line 2859. This check also applies to newer SuperSpeed Plus (USB 3.1 or 3.2) hubs as well, which hopefully makes it future proof.

Is this description acceptable to you Marek.
Please send a V2 patch . If possible, include the device information as reported by Andre, esp. which USB stick triggered it, including USB IDs, this is important for future reference and in case someone has similar failure.
So the USB 2.0 stick is some no-name, unlabelled and super cheap one, I think we bought a pack of it, just for boot-strapping machines. The USB ID of "abcd:1234" kind of gives away that this is bogus AF. The USB 3.0 stick is a PNY 32GB one, the USB ID is: 1f75:0917 Innostor Technology Corporation IS917 Mass storage
Hope that helps.
Thank you for replying. I'll include the available information into the revised commit description and send it over a bit later.
Please don't use "in the kernel source, line 2859", considering the rate of change of the Linux kernel, it is best to also include exact commit ID as of which this is a line 2859 and spell out this is referring to Linux kernel.

The check for SuperSpeed hubs is performed in a way that also applies to newer SuperSpeed Plus (USB 3.1 or 3.2) hubs as well, which hopefully makes it future proof.

Is this description acceptable to you Marek.
Please send a V2 patch . If possible, include the device information as reported by Andre, esp. which USB stick triggered it, including USB IDs, this is important for future reference and in case someone has similar failure.
So the USB 2.0 stick is some no-name, unlabelled and super cheap one, I think we bought a pack of it, just for boot-strapping machines. The USB ID of "abcd:1234" kind of gives away that this is bogus AF. The USB 3.0 stick is a PNY 32GB one, the USB ID is: 1f75:0917 Innostor Technology Corporation IS917 Mass storage
Hope that helps.
Thank you for replying. I'll include the available information into the revised commit description and send it over a bit later.
Here are the revised commit subject and description, please have a look and let me know if further improvements are needed.
------- >8 ------------- >8 ------------- >8 ------------- >8 ------- [PATCH v2] common: usb-hub: Reset USB 3.0 hubs only
Additional testing of the changes introduced in commit 33e06dcbe57a ("common: usb-hub: Reset hub port before scanning") revealed that some USB 2.0 and 3.0 flash drives didn't work in U-Boot on some Allwinner SoCs that support USB 2.0 interfaces only. More precisely, some of the tested USB 2.0 and 3.0 flash drives failed to be detected and work on an OrangePi Zero 3, based on the Allwinner H616 SoC that supports USB 2.0 only, while the same USB flash drives worked just fine on a Pine64 H64, based on the Allwinner H6 SoC that supports both USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 interfaces.
The USB ID of the above-mentioned USB 3.0 flash drive that failed to work is 1f75:0917 (Innostor Technology Corporation IS917 Mass storage), it is 32 GB in size and sold under the PNY brand. The mentioned USB 2.0 drive is some inexpensive no-name drive with an invalid USB ID.
Resetting USB 3.0 hubs only, which this patch introduces to the USB hub resets, has been tested to work as expected, resolving the identified issues on the Allwinner H616, while not introducing any new issues on other tested Allwinner SoCs. Thus, let's fix it that way.
According to the USB 3.0 specification, resetting a USB 3.0 port is required when an attached USB device transitions between different states, such as when it resumes from suspend. Though, the Linux kernel performs additional USB 3.0 port resets upon initial USB device attachment, as visible in commit 07194ab7be63 ("USB: Reset USB 3.0 devices on (re)discovery") in the kernel source, to ensure proper state of the USB 3.0 hub port and proper USB mode negotiation during the initial USB device attachment and enumeration.
These additional types of USB port resets don't exist for USB 2.0 hubs, according the USB 2.0 specification. The resets seem to be added to the USB 3.0 specification as part of the port and device mode negotiation.
The Linux kernel resets USB 3.0 (i.e. SuperSpeed) hubs only, as visible in commit 10d674a82e55 ("USB: When hot reset for USB3 fails, try warm reset.") in the kernel source. The check for SuperSpeed hubs is performed in a way that also applies to newer SuperSpeed Plus (USB 3.1 or 3.2) hubs as well, which hopefully makes it future proof.

Please just include the ^ in the commit description. Use link to git.kernel.org , not some mirror . This is extremely useful information and, well, you already wrote the V2 commit message addition in this answer.
Shantur, if that would be easier or quicker for you, I can write a quite detailed patch description for you, in exchange for a "Helped-by" tag in the v2 patch submission. :)
That would be really kind of you Dragan.
Sure, I'll write the summary and send it over.
I am down with the flu so that would really help me as my brain is working at 15% capacity.
Oh, I'm really sorry to hear that. :( I hope you'll get better soon, and I know very well what's it like; I've also been sick recently, as a result of some kind of flu that unfortunately found its way into my lungs, and it took me about a month to get back to about 90% of my usual mental capacity. I'm still not back to exactly 100%. :/
I really hope you'll recover much faster.
I hope you're feeling better.
Below are the patch subject and description that I prepared for you, please have a look.
------- >8 ------------- >8 ------------- >8 ------------- >8 ------- [PATCH v2] common: usb-hub: Reset USB 3.0 hubs only
Additional testing of the changes introduced in commit 33e06dcbe57a ("common: usb-hub: Reset hub port before scanning") revealed that some USB 3.0 flash
s/some USB 3.0 flash/some USB 2.0 and 3.0 flash/
I think it was a USB 2.0 drive that didn't work on the USB 2.0 port.
As visible in the message linked below, there was one USB 3.0 flash drive that didn't work in a USB 2.0 port. Though, you're right, there was also a USB 2.0 drive that didn't work. Thus, it's perhaps best to adjust the wording as I suggested above and below.

drives didn't work in U-Boot on some Allwinner SoCs that support USB 2.0 only. More precisely, some tested USB 3.0 flash drives failed to be detected and
s/some tested USB 3.0 flash drives/some tested USB 2.0 and 3.0 flash drives/
work on an OrangePi Zero 3 with Allwinner H616 SoC, which supports USB 2.0 only, while the same USB flash drives worked just fine on a Pine64 H64 with Allwinner H6 SoC, which supports both USB 2.0 and 3.0.
Resetting USB 3.0 hubs only has been tested to work as expected, resolving the previous issues on the Allwinner H616, while not introducing any new issues on other Allwinner SoCs. Thus, let's fix it that way.
According to the USB 3.0 specification, resetting a USB 3.0 port is required when an attached USB device transitions between different states, such as when it resumes from suspend. Though, the Linux kernel performs additional USB 3.0 port resets upon initial USB device attachment, presumably to ensure proper state of the USB 3.0 hub port and proper USB mode negotiation during the initial USB device attachment and enumeration.
Such USB port resets don't seem to exist for USB 2.0 hubs, according the USB 2.0 specification. The resets seem to be added to the USB 3.0 specification as part of the port and device mode negotiation.
The Linux kernel also resets USB 3.0 (i.e. SuperSpeed) hubs only, as visible in file drivers/usb/core/hub.c in the kernel source, line 2859. This check also applies to newer SuperSpeed Plus (USB 3.1 or 3.2) hubs as well, which hopefully makes it future proof.

Resetting only when hub is USB 3.0 fixes it.
