Subject: [PATCH v2 0/2] rtsx_usb: fix tray-reader false card detect and autosuspend
Date: Mon, 6 Jul 2026 16:40:42 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1783352430.git.sean@starlabs.systems> (raw)
This series fixes the empty-tray detect loop seen on a Realtek RTS5129
USB SD reader, while also avoiding USB register accesses from the USB
runtime autosuspend callback.
Compared with the previous RFC, this no longer qualifies media by issuing
SD/MMC commands from ->get_cd(). The rtsx_usb_sdmmc child still reports
the raw card-detect state initially, then lets the normal MMC rescan path
probe the media. If an initialization command times out before a card is
attached, the SD child suppresses the raw SD_CD signal until the tray/card
detect line drops again.
The parent rtsx_usb change removes USB I/O from runtime autosuspend and
keeps only the existing Memory Stick autosuspend deferral based on cached
card-status bits. Raw SD_CD is not used as a parent autosuspend blocker,
because this reader can assert it for an empty tray.
Runtime-tested on a StarLite Mk V with Realtek RTS5129 (0bda:0129), using
these changes as a matched rtsx_usb/rtsx_usb_sdmmc/rtsx_usb_ms module set
on Linux 7.0.0-27-generic.
Device enumeration:
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0bda:0129 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTS5129 Card Reader Controller
/: Bus 001.Port 001: Dev 001, Class=root_hub, Driver=xhci_hcd/12p, 480M
|__ Port 004: Dev 003, If 0, Class=Vendor Specific Class, Driver=rtsx_usb, 480M
Card inserted:
mmc0: new UHS-I speed SDR50 SDXC card at address 544c
mmcblk0: mmc0:544c LX2TB 1.82 TiB
mmcblk0: p1
Deep S3 with the card inserted:
PM: suspend entry (deep)
ACPI: PM: Waking up from system sleep state S3
PM: suspend exit
After resume, the card remained visible:
NAME SIZE TYPE FSTYPE MOUNTPOINTS
mmcblk0 1.8T disk
`-mmcblk0p1 1.8T part exfat
Empty tray:
mmc0: card 544c removed
/sys/bus/usb/devices/1-4/power/control=auto
/sys/bus/usb/devices/1-4/power/runtime_status=suspended
/sys/bus/usb/devices/1-4/power/runtime_usage=0
With the empty tray left inserted for about three minutes, no repeated
MMC detect attempts, command timeouts, or USB reset churn were observed.
