Hi all,
I am currently working on an XHCI platform device simulation model. I
noticed that the Linux driver (Linux 6.5.6 xhci-hcd) stops working
when I configure the model without any USB2 ports. During an interrupt
(TRB_PORT_STATUS), I only get "xhci-hcd 12100000.usb: ignore port
event for removed USB3 hcd."
During xhci_irq, in handle_port_status, xhci->shared_hcd is NULL [1],
so the interrupt gets ignored. However, shared_hcd would only ever be
allocated during xhci_plat_probe [2], if the device has both USB2 and
USB3 ports, i.e. xhci_has_one_roothub returns false [3].
Without any USB2 ports, a shared_hcd will never be allocated in the
first place, and handle_port_status will always exit early.
This is true.
That port handling code is from a time before xhci driver supported single
roothub setups.
I think all single roothub cases so far have been xHC hosts with only USB2
ports. This is probably the first one with only USB3 ports.
I have a vague memory that USB3 specification would require USB3 ports to
be backwards compatible, and support USB2.
But xhci driver could still support it, does this change help:
