[PATCH RESEND v4] usb: core: stop USB enumeration if too many retries

From: Ray Chi
Date: Fri Oct 28 2022 - 05:01:28 EST


When a broken USB accessory connects to a USB host, usbcore might
keep doing enumeration retries. If the host has a watchdog mechanism,
the kernel panic will happen on the host.

This patch provides an attribute early_stop to limit the numbers of retries
for each port of a hub. If a port was marked with early_stop attribute,
unsuccessful connection attempts will fail quickly. In addition, if an
early_stop port has failed to initialize, it will ignore all future
connection events until early_stop attribute is clear.

+Description:
+ Some USB hosts have some watchdog mechanisms so that the device
+ may enter ramdump if it takes a long time during port initialization.
+ This attribute allows each port just has two attempts so that the
+ port initialization will be failed quickly. In addition, if a port
+ which is marked with early_stop has failed to initialize, it will ignore
+ all future connections until this attribute is clear.
