Currently, on the AMD board Asus F2A85-M Pro there is a 100 ms delay as
the USB bus of each of the two OHCI PCI devices is reset. As a 50 ms
delay is done per the USB specification.

Commit c6187597 (OHCI: final fix for NVIDIA problems (I hope))
unconditionally does the bus reset for
 all chipsets, while it was only doen for NVIDIA chipsets before.

As it should not be needed for non-NVIDIA chipsets, only do the reset
for Nvidia devices.

Tested on Asus F2A85-M PRO and ASRock E350M1. The USB keyboard works and
the LUKS passphrase can be e
ntered.

I don't follow this at all.  Prior to that commit, the bus reset (i.e.,

	writel(control & OHCI_CTRL_MASK, base + OHCI_CONTROL);

) was performed unconditionally for _all_ controllers.  (However, the
50-ms delay was used only for NVIDIA hardware.)  Following that commit,
the reset is performed for all controllers, but only if the HCFS
bitfield is nonzero.

Therefore this reasoning is wrong.

Unfortunately, there is a wide variety of OHCI controller hardware 
available.  Something that works on one or two controllers might not 
work on another.

Besides, doesn't it seem like a bad idea to reset the controller while 
leaving devices on the USB bus in whatever state they happened to be?

True. Thank you for checking that.

The problem is, that currently 100 ms sleep is over 10 % of the overall
execution time of the Linux kernel here. So I really like to not sleep 
if it’s not needed.

Yes, it’s probably not optimal.

I wonder if the reset is needed, if the firmware has already initialized
the device.


Kind regards,

Paul

It would be nice to execute the probes in parallel; that would reduce 
the total delay to 50 ms.  However, that is the subject of a separate 
discussion.

The devices on the bus need to be reset, because the OS has no idea of
what they are and what the firmware has them doing.

For example, the firmware may have assigned bus address 2 to a
keyboard.  But the OS can initialize the devices in a different order,
and it might want to assign bus address 2 to a USB drive.  Then you'd
have two devices trying to use the same address at the same time, which
would not be a good thing.

Understood.

So, what would be a way forward? Add a whitelist for boards or chipsets
not needing the 50 ms delay?


Kind regards,

The 50-ms delay isn't for the board or the chipset; it is for the USB 
devices that are plugged into the controller.  It is required by the 
USB spec, so we can't get rid of it.
