Linux kernel source tree

The Synopsys xHC has an internal TRB cache of size TRB_CACHE_SIZE for each endpoint. The default value for TRB_CACHE_SIZE is 16 for SS and 8 for HS. The controller loads and updates the TRB cache from the transfer ring in system memory whenever the driver issues a start transfer or update transfer command. For chained TRBs, the Synopsys xHC requires that the total amount of bytes for all TRBs loaded in the TRB cache be greater than or equal to 1 MPS. Or the chain ends within the TRB cache (with a last TRB). If this requirement is not met, the controller will not be able to send or receive a packet and it will hang causing a driver timeout and error. This can be a problem if a class driver queues SG requests with many small-buffer entries. The XHCI driver will create a chained TRB for each entry which may trigger this issue. This patch adds logic to the XHCI driver to detect and prevent this from happening. For every (TRB_CACHE_SIZE - 2), we check the total buffer size of the SG list and if the last window of (TRB_CACHE_SIZE - 2) SG list length and we don't make up at least 1 MPS, we create a temporary buffer to consolidate full SG list into the buffer. We check at (TRB_CACHE_SIZE - 2) window because it is possible that there would be a link and/or event data TRB that take up to 2 of the cache entries. We discovered this issue with devices on other platforms but have not yet come across any device that triggers this on Linux. But it could be a real problem now or in the future. All it takes is N number of small chained TRBs. And other instances of the Synopsys IP may have smaller values for the TRB_CACHE_SIZE which would exacerbate the problem.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
