MLK-22675 usb: dwc3: host: disable park mode for super speed
- Advantage of park mode
When only a single Async endpoint is active.
- Behavior of park mode
1. The controller prefetches data/TRBs to do 3 * burst_size worth
of packets.
2. When park mode is disabled there will be some delay between
bursts on the USB. This can be avoided if park mode is enabled
in cases of only one endpoint is active.
3. But this delay is significant only with systems of large
latencies.
4. We have noticed that in cases where a device NAKs often, it
tends to bring down the performance for a single endpoint case.
- Issue on "park mode"
1. LSP (List Processor) goes in and out of park mode irrespective
of the fact that there are more endpoints active. #LSP consider
that there is only one endpoint active.
2. This causes master scheduler and transaction handlers to think
that they are in park mode even though they are not. This is
because request to transaction handlers, generated by HSCH is
in park mode when the request is made
3. This causes a case where the master scheduler calculates wrongly
the number of TRB cache space available.
4. Because of the wrongly calculated number of TRB spaces, the core
fetches more TRBS than there is space for.
5. This causes overwriting the TRB cache area into the TRQ cache
area which is next to the TRB cache area.
6. This causes invalidating an entry in the TRQ
7. This causes transaction handlers to ignore a request in the TRQ
which it should have processed.
8. This causes the main scheduler to hang because it is waiting for
status from transaction handler.
9. This causes host controller to hang.
- Work Around
Disabling park mode for super speed by setting GUCTL1[17] to be 1.
The STAR number is 9001415732, which is target to be released around
May,2020.
