Sometimes, when a USB 3.0 device is disconnected, the Intel Panther
Point xHCI host controller will report a link state change with the
state set to "SS.Inactive". This causes the xHCI host controller to
issue a warm port reset, which doesn't finish before the USB core times
out while waiting for it to complete.
When the warm port reset does complete, and the xHC gives back a port
status change event, the xHCI driver kicks khubd. However, it fails to
set the bit indicating there is a change event for that port because the
logic in xhci-hub.c doesn't check for the warm port reset bit.
After that, the warm port status change bit is never cleared by the USB
core, and the xHC stops reporting port status change bits. (The xHCI
spec says it shouldn't report more port events until all change bits are
cleared.) This means any port changes when a new device is connected
will never be reported, and the port will seem "dead" until the xHCI
driver is unloaded and reloaded, or the computer is rebooted. Fix this
by making the xHCI driver set the port change bit when a warm port reset
change bit is set.
A better solution would be to make the USB core handle warm port reset
in differently, merging the current code with the standard port reset
code that does an incremental backoff on the timeout, and tries to
complete the port reset two more times before giving up. That more
complicated fix will be merged next window, and this fix will be
backported to stable.
This should be backported to kernels as old as 3.0, since that was the
first kernel with commit a11496ebf3 ("xHCI: warm reset support").
