If an error is received when issuing a start or update transfer
command, the error handler will stop all active requests (including
the current USB request), and call dwc3_gadget_giveback() to notify
function drivers of the requests which have been stopped.  Avoid
having to cancel the current request which is trying to be queued, as
the function driver will handle the EP queue error accordingly.
Simply unmap the request as it was done before, and allow previously
started transfers to be cleaned up.

Changes in v2:
 - Addressed feedback received by making sure the logic only applies to a req
   which is being queued, decrementing the enqueue pointer, and only clearing
   the HWO bit.

Yeah, main issue isn't due to the function driver doing dequeue, but
having cleanup (ie USB request free) if there is an error during
usb_ep_queue().

The function driver in question at the moment is the f_fs driver in AIO
mode.  When async IO is enabled in the FFS driver, every time it queues
a packet, it will allocate a io_data struct beforehand.  If the
usb_ep_queue() fails it will free this io_data memory.  Problem is that,
since the DWC3 gadget calls the completion with -ECONNRESET, the FFS
driver will also schedule a work item (within io_data struct) to handle
the completion.  So you end up with a flow like below

allocate io_data (ffs)
 --> usb_ep_queue()
   --> __dwc3_gadget_kick_transfer()
   --> dwc3_send_gadget_ep_cmd(EINVAL)
   --> dwc3_gadget_ep_cleanup_cancelled_requests()
   --> dwc3_gadget_giveback(ECONNRESET)
ffs completion callback
queue work item within io_data
 --> usb_ep_queue returns EINVAL
ffs frees io_data
...

work scheduled
 --> NULL pointer/memory fault as io_data is freed

Happens on bulk EPs so far, but I think it wouldn't matter as long as
its over the FFS interface. (and using async IO transfers)

We do have something similar as well downstream (returning success
always on dwc3_gadget_ep_queue()) and its been working for us also.
Problem is we don't test the ISOC path much, so this is the only type of
EP that might come into question...

Coming up with a way to address the concerns you brought up was a bit
difficult as there were scenarios we needed to consider.  next_request()
doesn't always have to be the request being queued (even if ep queue
triggered it).  There was no easy way to determine if kick transfer was
due to ep queue, but even if there was, we'd need to remember the
previous point as well.

It'll always happen if usb_ep_queue() fails with an error. Sorry for not
clarifying, but the "..." represents executing in a different context
:). Anything above the "..." is in the same context.

Sorry for missing that part of the question.  It is a no xfer resource
error on a start transfer command.  So far this happens on low system
memory test cases, so there may be some sequences that were missed,
which led to this particular command error.

Right. I think for now we should do that (return success always except
for cases of disconnect or already in-flight etc). This helps keeping it
simple and avoid some pitfalls dealing with giving back the request.
Currently we return the error status to dwc3_gadget_ep_queue if we
failed to send a command that may not even related to the same request
being queued.

This way, I think it matches with how we handle it in the driver. We
always put the request in the pending list (queued) first and possibly
start/update the controller with new data.

Thanks,
Thinh

I would rather not have this extra special case for kick transfer,
instead you can treat the special case in the only location where it can
happen, i.e. ep_queue(). So, instead of patching kick_transfer itself,
you can make sure that kick transfer does *NOT* touch the current
request and only cancel all the previous, then ep_queue is responsible
for treating failed kick transfer for the current request. Either that,
or make sure dwc3_prepare_trbs() knows how to handle this special case internally.

The current method seems wrong, IMO. It really seems like the problem is
elsewhere. Perhaps there's some other part of the driver that's not
cleaning up after itself.

I have some vague memory of discussing (something like) this with Alan
Stern long ago and the conclusion was that the gadget driver should
handle cases such as this. OTOH, we're returning failure during
usb_ep_queue() which tells me there's something with dwc3 (perhaps not
exclusively, but that's yet to be shown).

If I understood the whole thing correctly, we want everything except the
current request (the one that failed START or UPDATE transfer) to go
through giveback(). This really tells me that we're not handling error
case in kick_transfer and/or prepare_trbs() correctly.

I also don't want to pass another argument to kick_transfer because it
should be unnecessary: the current request should *always* be the last
one in the list. Therefore we should rely on something like
list_last_entry() followed by list_for_each_entry_safe_reverse() to
handle this without a special case.

ret = dwc3_send_gadget_ep_cmd();
if (ret < 0) {
	current = list_last_entry();

	unmap(current);
        for_each_trb_in(current) {
        	clear_HWO(trb);
        }

	list_for_entry_safe_reverse() {
        	move_cancelled();
        }
}

I think the fix should be simple, but we're trying to patch it in the
wrong way. Can y'all comment on my suggestion on the other subthread?

Am I reading this correctly?  It looks like usb_ep_queue() returns a 
-EINVAL error, but then the completion callback gets invoked with a 
status of -ECONNRESET.

Indeed, this predates the creation of the Gadget API; the same design 
principle applies to the host-side API.  It's a very simple idea:

	If an URB or usb_request submission succeeds, it is guaranteed
	that the completion routine will be called when the transfer is
	finished, cancelled, aborted, or whatever (note that this may 
	happen before the submission call returns).

	If an URB or usb_request submission fails, it is guaranteed that
	the completion routine will not be called.

So if dwc3 behaves as described above (usb_ep_queue() fails _and_ the 
completion handler is called), this is a bug.

We don't want the request passed in usb_ep_queue() to be calling
giveback() IF DONE IN the usb_ep_queue() context only.

Nice, thanks for the suggestion and info!  Problem we have is that kick
transfer is being used elsewhere, for example, during the TRB complete path:

static bool dwc3_gadget_endpoint_trbs_complete(struct dwc3_ep *dep,
		const struct dwc3_event_depevt *event, int status)
{
...
	else if (dwc3_gadget_ep_should_continue(dep))
		if (__dwc3_gadget_kick_transfer(dep) == 0)
			no_started_trb = false;

So in these types of calls, we would still want ALL requests to be
cancelled w/ giveback() called, so that the completion() callbacks can
cleanup/free those requests accordingly.

If we went and only unmapped the last entry (and removed it from any
list), then no one would clean it up as it is outside of the
usb_ep_queue() context, and not within any of the DWC3 lists.

Thanks

Yes, your understanding of the current behavior is correct.  In this
situation we'd get a completion callback with ECONNRESET, and then also
return EINVAL to usb_ep_queue().

Thanks for this.  So we're trying to only allow one or the other to
happen right now. (either completion with an error, or returning error
for usb_ep_queue())  I think that would be OK then.

Hi Alan,

Yes, it's a bug, no question about that. The concern here is how should
we fix it.

In dwc3, when the usb_ep_queue() is called, it does 3 main things:
1) Put the request in a pending list to be processed
2) Process any started but partially processed request and any
outstanding request from the pending list and map them to TRBs
3) Send a command to the controller telling it to cache and process
these new TRBs

Currently, if step 3) fails, then usb_ep_queue() returns an error status
and we stop the controller from processing TRBs and return any request
related to those outstanding TRBs. This is a bug.

My suggestion here is don't immediately return an error code and let the
completion interrupt inform of a transfer failure. The reasons are:

a) Step 3) happened when the request is already (arguably) queued.
b) If the error from step 3) is due to command timed out, the controller
may have partially cached/processed some of these TRBs. We can't simply
give back the request immediately without stopping the transfer and fail
all the in-flight request.
c) It adds unnecessary complexity to the driver and there are a few
pitfalls that we have to watch out for when handling giving back the
request.
d) Except the case where the device is disconnected or that the request
is already in-flight, step 1) and 2) are always done after
usb_ep_queue(). The controller driver already owns these requests and
can be considered "queued".

If our definition whether a request is "queued" must be a combination of
all those 3 steps, then my suggestion is not enough and we'd have to
explore other options.

Note that we already handle it this way for isoc this way. We don't send
the START_TRANSFER command immediately and consider the requests to be
queued in the usb_ep_queue(). So here we're just extending this to other
endpoints too.

Thanks,
Thinh

That does sound like the best approach.  Thinking of the procedure in 
terms of ownership, as you wrote above, is entirely appropriate.

Hi Felipe,

This won't work. The queued request may not have left the pending_list
and never started at all (e.g. due to no available TRB). So we can't
simply get the last entry of whichever list without checking which
request is being queued. See my suggestions and response to Alan's comment.

Thanks,
Thinh

oh, I see what you mean. At the moment we want kick_transfer to behave
in two different manners and that's probably where the bug is
originating from.

It sounds like it's time to split kick_transfer into
kick_queued_transfer() and e.g. continue_pending_transfers()

The thing is that if we continue to sprinkle special cases all over the
place, soon enough it'll be super hard to maintain the driver.

Oh, I see. Indeed this sounds like the best minimal fix for the -rc and
backporting to stables. We may still want to get back to this at some
point and, potentially, split kick_transfer() into two parts that can
make assumptions about the context where they can be called.

Also, we may want to move the request to the pending list only if the
command succeeds. There should be no race condition as kick_transfer is
always called with interrupts disabled.

Yeah, the driver may need some reorganization to keep the logic clear.

Hm... I don't see how this is better. If I understand correctly, that
requires that there will be a command issued for every call to
usb_ep_queue(). In other word, with this requirement, we're enforcing
whether we can give the request to the controller and drop it otherwise.
So, if we run out of TRBs, usb_ep_queue() will fail?
