[PATCH] USB: fix bug in handling of highspeed usb HID devices
During the development of an USB device I found a bug in the handling of Highspeed HID devices in the kernel. What happened? Highspeed HID devices are correctly recognized and enumerated by the kernel. But even if usbhid kernel module is loaded, no HID reports are received by the kernel. The output of the hardware USB analyzer told me that the host doesn't even poll for interrupt IN transfers (even the "interrupt in" USB transfer are polled by the host). After some debugging in hid-core.c I've found the reason. In case of a highspeed device, the endpoint interval is re-calculated in driver/usb/input/hid-core.c: line 1669: /* handle potential highspeed HID correctly */ interval = endpoint->bInterval; if (dev->speed == USB_SPEED_HIGH) interval = 1 << (interval - 1); Basically this calculation is correct (refer to USB 2.0 spec, 9.6.6). This new calculated value of "interval" is used as input for usb_fill_int_urb: line 1685: usb_fill_int_urb(hid->urbin, dev, pipe, hid->inbuf, 0, hid_irq_in, hid, interval); Unfortunately the same calculation as above is done a second time in usb_fill_int_urb in the file include/linux/usb.h: line 933: if (dev->speed == USB_SPEED_HIGH) urb->interval = 1 << (interval - 1); else urb->interval = interval; This means, that if the endpoint descriptor (of a high speed device) specifies e.g. bInterval = 7, the urb->interval gets the value: hid-core.c: interval = 1 << (7-1) = 0x40 = 64 urb->interval = 1 << (interval -1) = 1 << (63) = integer overflow Because of this the value of urb->interval is sometimes negative and is rejected in core/urb.c: line 353: /* too small? */ if (urb->interval <= 0) return -EINVAL; The conclusion is, that the recalculaton of the interval (which is necessary for highspeed) should not be made twice, because this is simply wrong. ;-) Re-calculation in usb_fill_int_urb makes more sense, because it is the most general approach. So it would make sense to remove it from hid-core.c. Because in hid-core.c the interval variable is only used for calling usb_fill_int_urb, it is no problem to remove the highspeed re-calculation in this file.
