If the HW reports the endpoint as Halted, there's
no need to start any URB for that endpoint, we can
simply return -EPIPE and this will tell upper layers
that the endpoint is, indeed, halted.

This patch fixes usbtest's set/clear halt test #13
on xHCI-based hosts.

Hi Sarah,

seems like this has been broken for quite a long
time.

I tested the patch on an AM437x which has XHCI Host and
the same IP configured as device as well (two dwc3 instances,
basically).

It has been running for the past hour or so without any failures
when running testusb -t 13 -c 5000 -s 2048 -a in a loop, but
if you think there's a better way to fix this, let me know. I just
didn't understand why xhci-hcd still queues the URB even though
HW already told us the endpoint is halted. Any comments ?

cheers

I suppose it doesn't make a difference, considering it
wait_for_completion_interruptible(). As long as the transfer actually
completes within 10 seconds, it doesn't matter.

What I have seen, though, is the transfer never completes and the 10
second timeout always kicks in when trying two consecutive
usb_submit_urb().

Here's, in a nut-shell, what happens:

-> SetFeature(ENDPOINT_HALT)
-> GetStatus()
-> usb_submit_urb()
	-> this one completes with -EPIPE as it should
-> usb_submit_urb()
	-> this one always times out :-(

alright.

will do.

So what's supposed to actually happen with that test ? I'd expect the
URB to actually be started (meaning we should ring the ep doorbell ?)
and the device would reply with a Stall which, in turn, would return
-EPIPE to upper layers.

Currently, that URB seems like it's never started to begin with, so we
never see a Stall from the device side and the test fails.

Surprisingly, this only happens on the second usb_submit_urb(). From
what I could gather yesterday, EP_STATE_HALTED isn't yet set when the
first usb_submit_urb() is called. Likely that because of that, the
doorbell is rung and the device has a chance to Stall the transfer.

Or am I missing something ?
