Hi Mathias,

I understand your point, But I want to understand how would completion handler be called
if a command is timed out and xhci_abort_cmd_ring is successful. In this case all the code
would be waiting on completion handler forever.

I checked the below code, Please correct me if I am wrong

code waiting on wait_for_completion:
int xhci_alloc_dev(struct usb_hcd *hcd, struct usb_device *udev)
{
...
ret = xhci_queue_slot_control(xhci, command, TRB_ENABLE_SLOT, 0);
...

wait_for_completion(command->completion); <=== waiting for command to complete


code calling completion handler:
1. handle_cmd_completion -> xhci_complete_del_and_free_cmd
2. xhci_handle_command_timeout -> xhci_abort_cmd_ring(failure) -> xhci_cleanup_command_queue -> xhci_complete_del_and_free_cmd

In our case command is timed out, Hence we hit the case #2 but xhci_abort_cmd_ring is success which
does not calls complete.

We are doing suspend resume operation, It might be controller issue :(, IMO software should not
hang/stop if hardware is not behaving correct.

We are using 4.1.8 kernel

I will check the above patches and share status.
