when xHc restore state timeout,the xhci_reusme() return -ETIMEDOUT

Out of curiosity, have you tried if it still is possible to revive your
xHC controller here?

Instead of returning -ETIMEDOUT, try setting " reinit_xhc = true", and
jump to "if (reinit_xhc) {" where we reinitialize xHC in xhci_resume() due
to other resume issues.

instantly. After usb_hc_died() called ,they kick hub_wq to running
hub_event() but the wq is freezd. When suspend ends,hub_evnet realy
running and sticking.

The result is that you cannot suspend again.because the wq can't
be freezed.Also hard to reboot,when some application visited this
piece.

The reason of stuck is that some access related to xhci hardware
is being called.But xhci has problem,at least not running.(
when xhci_restore_registers(),the xhci will load op_regs.The
CMD_RUN will clear in xhci_suspend().)


Nice catch and debugging work btw.

So using XHCI_STATE_DYING flag,to avoid any code to touching
hardware immediately.hub_event() will complete.The usb_hc_died
tasks will be completed and some sys interfaces will be removed.

The XHCI_STATE_DYING flag is currently only set in xhci_hc_died().
So when this flag is set we could assume that the command ring and
pending URBs are, or will be cleaned up. This would change with your patch.
We might need some other solution,
Maybe set the set_bit(HCD_FLAG_HW_ACCESSIBLE, &hcd->flags) after
CNR (Contorller Not Ready) is successfully cleared, and controller is
actually accessible.

We then would need to add checks to see if controller is accessible
before queuing any commands to xHC hardware.
