XHCI vs PCM2903B/PCM2904 part 2
After a few more weeks of digging, I have come to the tentative conclusion that either the XHCI driver, or the USB sound driver, or both, fail to handle USB errors correctly.
I have some questions at the bottom, after a (brief-ish) explanation of exactly what seems to go wrong.
TL;DR: arecord from a misbehaving device can hang forever after a USB error, due to poll on /dev/snd/timer never returning.
The details: under some mysterious circumstances, the PCM290x family sound chips can send more data than expected during an isochronous transfer, leading to a babble error. Those circumstances seem to in part depend on the USB host controller and/or the electrical environment, since the chips work just fine for most people.
Receiving data past the end of the isochronous transfer window scheduled for a device results in the XHCI controller throwing a babble error, which moves the endpoint into halted state.
This is followed by the host controller software sending a reset endpoint command, and moving the endpoint into stopped state, as specified on pages 164-165 of the XHCI specification.
However, the USB sound driver seems to have no idea that this error happened. The function retire_capture_urb looks at the status of each isochronous frame, but seems to be under the assumption that the sound device just keeps on running.
The function snd_complete_urb seems to only detect that the device is not running if usb_submit_urb returns a failure.
err = usb_submit_urb(urb, GFP_ATOMIC); if (err == 0) return;
usb_audio_err(ep->chip, "cannot submit urb (err = %d)\n", err);
if (ep->data_subs && ep->data_subs->pcm_substream) { substream = ep->data_subs->pcm_substream; snd_pcm_stop_xrun(substream); }
However, the XHCI driver will happily submit an URB to a stopped device. Looking at the call trace usb_submit_urb -> xhci_urb_enqueue -> xhci_queue_isoc_tx_prepare -> prepare_ring, you can see this code:
/* Make sure the endpoint has been added to xHC schedule */ switch (ep_state) { ... case EP_STATE_HALTED: xhci_dbg(xhci, "WARN halted endpoint, queueing URB anyway.\n"); case EP_STATE_STOPPED: case EP_STATE_RUNNING: break;
This leads me to a few questions: - should retire_capture_urb call snd_pcm_stop_xrun, or another function like it, if it sees certain errors in the iso frame in the URB? - should snd_complete_urb do something with these errors, too, in case they happen on the sync frames and not the data frames? - does the XHCI code need to ring the doorbell when submitting an URB to a stopped device, or is it always up to the higher-level driver to fully reset the device before it can do anything useful? - if a device in stopped state does not do anything useful, should usb_submit_urb return an error? - how should the USB sound driver recover from these occasional and/or one-off errors? stop the sound stream, or try to reinitialize the device and start recording again?
I am willing to write patches and can test with my setup, but both the sound code and the USB code are new to me so I would like to know what direction I should go in :)

I guess it makes sense, yes.
- should snd_complete_urb do something with these errors, too, in case they happen on the sync frames and not the data frames?
Ditto, the error can be handled similarly.
- does the XHCI code need to ring the doorbell when submitting an URB to a stopped device, or is it always up to the higher-level driver to fully reset the device before it can do anything useful?
- if a device in stopped state does not do anything useful, should usb_submit_urb return an error?
- how should the USB sound driver recover from these occasional and/or one-off errors? stop the sound stream, or try to reinitialize the device and start recording again?
When snd_pcm_stop_xrun() is called, it stops the stream and sets in XRUN state. Then the application receives -EPIPE error upon the next access, and the application needs to re-setup the stream and restart.

Note that isoch endpoints should generate buffer overrun instead of babble detect error on TD babble conditions. See xHCI spec 6.4.5 additional note 115.
Or maybe a frame babble could halt an isoc endpoint, see xhci 4.10.2.4.1 but then you should see a port error and port going to disabled state.
Any logs of this?

xhci driver should ring the doorbell.
xhci_queue_isoc_tx() giveback_first_trb() xhci_ring_ep_doorbell()
when we are talking about babble or transaction errors the device might be completely unaware of the situation. Device side of the endpoint is not necessarily halted. xHC host will only halt its internal endpoint state, and it needs a reset endopoint command from the xhci driver to clear the internal halt state.

Maybe it should, but I'm hitting this printk in handle_tx_event:
case COMP_BABBLE_DETECTED_ERROR: xhci_dbg(xhci, "Babble error for slot %u ep %u on endpoint\n", slot_id, ep_index); status = -EOVERFLOW; break;
Tracing in the sound driver suggests that packet belongs to the sound data device (not the sync device), because the URB with -EOVERFLOW status for the isochronous packet in that URB is the last one seen there.
Or maybe a frame babble could halt an isoc endpoint, see xhci 4.10.2.4.1 but then you should see a port error and port going to disabled state.

Interesting. I had no idea the endpoint on each side was controlled separately.

Do you mean "stopped device" or "stopped endpoint"?

/* Make sure the endpoint has been added to xHC schedule */ switch (ep_state) {

No. Isochronous endpoints are expected to encounter errors from time to time; that is the nature of isochronous communications. You're supposed to ignore the errors (skip over any bad data) and keep going.
- should snd_complete_urb do something with these errors, too, in case they happen on the sync frames and not the data frames?
- does the XHCI code need to ring the doorbell when submitting an URB to a stopped device, or is it always up to the higher-level driver to fully reset the device before it can do anything useful?
In this case it is not up to the higher-level driver.
- if a device in stopped state does not do anything useful, should usb_submit_urb return an error?
The notion of "stopped state" is not part of USB-2. As a result, it should be handled entirely within the xhci-hcd driver.
(A non-isochronous endpoint can be in the "halted" state. But obviously this isn't what you're talking about.)
- how should the USB sound driver recover from these occasional and/or one-off errors? stop the sound stream, or try to reinitialize the device and start recording again?
As far as I know, it should do its best to continue (perhaps fill in missing data with zeros).

In general, errors such as babble are not supposed to stop isochronous endpoints.
However, it seems that they do. The urb never gets an answer after snd_complete_urb refiles it with usb_submit_urb.

That was my first intuition as well, given the documented behavior of isochronous frames.
However, given that the device appears to stop sending frames after that error, at least usbmon is not seeing any, I am not sure what needs to happen in order to get that behavior.

Okay. In that case, xhci-hcd should appear to act just like a USB-2 host controller.

This could be a bug in xhci-hcd. Perhaps the controller's endpoint state needs to be updated after one of these errors occurs. Mathias will know all about that.

The device won't send any data unless the host controller tells it to. If something is wrong with the host controller then usbmon won't see any data.

I am seeing something potentially interesting in the giant trace. First the final enqueue/dequeue before the babble error:

The next reference to 0x0000001014070360 is the babble error, and some info on the ISOC buffer itself:

Is this some area where USB3 and USB2 behave differently?

Interesting. That makes me really curious why things are getting stuck, now...
This could be a bug in xhci-hcd. Perhaps the controller's endpoint state needs to be updated after one of these errors occurs. Mathias will know all about that.
I am seeing something potentially interesting in the giant trace. First the final enqueue/dequeue before the babble error:
<idle>-0 [005] d.s. 776367.638233: xhci_inc_enq: ISOC
0000000033a6879e: enq 0x0000001014070420(0x0000001014070000) deq 0x0000001014070360(0x0000001014070000) segs 2 stream 0 free_trbs 497 bounce 196 cycle 1
The next reference to 0x0000001014070360 is the babble error, and some info on the ISOC buffer itself:
<idle>-0 [005] d.h. 776367.639187: xhci_handle_event:

However, after that point, no more xhci_handle_transfer: ISOC lines ar seen in the log. The doorbell line above is the last line in the log for ep4in.
Is this some area where USB3 and USB2 behave differently?
It acts as if the endpoint is no longer running.
If the endpoint would be halted then xhci_requires_manual_halt_cleanup() should reset the endpoints and it would show in the traces.
Could you add the code below and take new traces, it will show the endpoint state after the Babble error.
