From: Radhey Shyam Pandey <radhey.shyam.pandey@amd.com> [ Upstream commit 70627bf82e36e61c40c3315e1206e4ea4c02e668 ] Adds a shutdown callback to ensure that the XHCI stack is properly shutdown in reboot/shutdown path. In kexec flow, kernel_restart_prepare() performs actions necessary to prepare the system for a restart and invokes device_shutdown. To ensure proper shutdown attach the dwc3 shutdown implementation which mirrors the remove method. $ kexec -e <snip> xhci-hcd xhci-hcd.0.auto: remove, state 1 usb usb1: USB disconnect, device number 1 usb 1-1: USB disconnect, device number 6 xhci-hcd xhci-hcd.0.auto: USB bus 1 deregistered kexec_core: Starting new kernel Signed-off-by: Radhey Shyam Pandey <radhey.shyam.pandey@amd.com> Acked-by: Thinh Nguyen <Thinh.Nguyen@synopsys.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/1748977771-714153-1-git-send-email-radhey.shyam.pandey@amd.com (local) Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org> --- LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus: **Backport Status: YES** This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees. Here's my detailed analysis: ## Analysis of the Commit ### 1. **Bug Fix Nature** This commit fixes a real bug where the USB XHCI stack is not properly shut down during kexec operations. The commit message explicitly shows the issue - when `kexec -e` is executed, the XHCI controller is removed but without a proper shutdown sequence, which can lead to: - Memory corruption if the controller continues DMA operations - System instability during kexec transitions - Potential crashes after kexec ### 2. **Simple and Contained Fix** The code change is minimal and low-risk:
+ .shutdown = dwc3_xlnx_remove,
It simply reuses the existing `dwc3_xlnx_remove` function as the shutdown callback. This is a common pattern in kernel drivers. ### 3. **Follows Established Pattern** My analysis shows this follows an established pattern in the dwc3 driver family: - `dwc3-of-simple.c` uses its remove function for shutdown - `dwc3-rtk.c` has a dedicated shutdown function that calls similar cleanup - The recent Tegra XUSB commit (3a3be3a1ebf0) added a shutdown callback for similar reasons (preventing SMMU-related crashes) ### 4. **Clear Side Effects** The `dwc3_xlnx_remove` function performs standard cleanup: - Depopulates child devices (`of_platform_depopulate`) - Disables and unprepares clocks - Manages runtime PM state These are all safe operations for shutdown context. ### 5. **Meets Stable Criteria** - **Fixes a real bug**: Prevents potential system instability during kexec - **Small change**: Single line addition - **Low risk**: Reuses existing, tested code path - **No new features**: Pure bug fix - **Clear benefit**: Improves system reliability during reboot/kexec operations ### 6. **Similar Issues in Other Drivers** The pattern of missing shutdown callbacks causing issues during kexec/reboot is well-documented in the kernel, particularly for devices that perform DMA operations. The fix ensures proper hardware shutdown sequence during system reboot/shutdown, preventing the USB controller from accessing memory after the system has started transitioning to a new kernel or shutting down. This is especially important for systems using kexec for fast reboots or crash dump collection. drivers/usb/dwc3/dwc3-xilinx.c | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+)
