I think there's one more place that may needs this check. Can you also
add this check in __dwc3_set_mode()?
Hi Thinh,
Sure. Will do it.
Will the below be good enough ? Or would it be good to add an error/warn log
there>
There's already a warning message in dwc3_core_soft_reset() if it fails.

If soft-reset failed, the controller is in a bad state. We should not
perform any further operation until the next hard reset. We should flag
the controller as dead. I don't think we have the equivalent of the
host's HCD_FLAG_DEAD. It may require some work in the UDC core. Perhaps
we can flag within dwc3 for now and prevent any further operation for a
simpler fix.
Hi Thinh,
Are you referring that if __dwc3_set_mode failed with core soft reset
timing out, the caller i.e., dwc3_set_mode who queues the work need to know
that the operation actually failed. So we can add a flag to indicate that
gadget is dead and the caller of dwc3_set_mode can check the flag to see if
the operation is successful or not.
Or am I misunderstanding your comment ?
Not just in __dwc3_set_mode(). I mean any time dwc3_core_soft_reset
fails, then we set this flag. So that it can prevent the user calling
any gadget ops causing more crashes/invalid behavior. The
dwc->softconnect is already wrong on pullup() on failure.
So that we can have a check in different gadget ops. For pullup():
static int dwc3_gadget_pullup() {
if (dwc->udc_is_dead) {
dev_err(dev, "reset me. x_x \n");
return;
}
abc();
}
Perhaps the effort is probably the same if we enhance the UDC core for
this? In any case, I'm fine either way.
Thanks,
Thinh
Hi Thinh,
So you don't want UDC to retry pullup if it fails the first time ? As per
patch-2 of this series, I was trying to propagate the EITMEDOUT to UDC so
that the caller (most probably configfs) can take appropriate action as to
whether it must retry pullup or not.
Now I'm confused. If the soft-reset times out, that means that the
soft-reset (self-clearing) bit isn't cleared. How can we retry if it's
stuck in this state? My impression is that soft-reset would not complete
at all. Is that not the case for you, or it's simply because we need a
longer soft-reset timeout?
Thanks,
Thinh
Hi Thinh,
Sorry for not being clear. The intention of patch-1 was to ensure we
don't start the controller if reset times out and patch-2 was to ensure
that UDC is in sync with controller by understanding that gadget_connect
has failed and necessary cleanup has to be done in gadget_bind_driver.
But usually since the UDC_store is the one that is causing pullup to be
called, the error value is propagated back to UDC_store. If it sees a
failure, it does a retry to pullup.
I didn't check whether subsequent retries by UDC to pullup are helping
clear the reset bit or not. But I thought retrying pullup won't be of
any harm.
I now get that my patches are incomplete w.r.t handling the timeout.
IIRC one of the following is what you are suggesting we need to do:
Option-1:
Set a flag when reset times out and clear it upon core_exit / core_init.
If the flag is set, block calls to all the gadget_ops in dwc3. Basically
even if retry happens from configfs/UDC, we bail out in pullup/udc_start
even without trying the requested gadget operation.
Option-2:
If gadget_connect fails with -ETIMEDOUT in UDC, handle the failure and
implement the same flag in UDC and don't even call any gadget_ops.

Krishna,
