Hi,

After update to 7.2-rc1 I was unable to type in LUKS password in plymouth. I
tried both of my USB keyboards, but both of them just briefly lit up the LEDs
and then seemed to turn off. Bisection pointed to

Jihong Min, it seems a recent change of yours is causing trouble. See
below for details.

Side note, but not my area of expertise, so feel free to ignore this, as
I might be sending people in the wrong direction and it's just a hunch
anyway: wonder if this is another of those situations where the driver
needs to be in the initramfs. Tomasz, did you have SENSORS_PROM21_XHCI=m
when things were broken? And if yes: have you tried if adding it to the
initramfs or setting SENSORS_PROM21_XHCI=y helps?

Ciao, Thorsten

Re: [Bug 221721] New: prom21-xhci does not allow to use USB keyboard in plymouth

[Jihong Min]

Hi,

One of the very first thing discussed during the review process of
prom21-xhci commits was about correct loading of the module during
initramfs stage.

It was mainly about writing correct dependencies in Kconfig for USB host
controller build.



config USB_XHCI_PCI_PROM21
	tristate
	depends on USB_XHCI_PCI
	default USB_XHCI_PCI if SENSORS_PROM21_XHCI != n
	select AUXILIARY_BUS



Maybe it was not enough? Can you perhaps check whether both xhci_pci and
xhci_pci_prom21 are loaded at the plymouth stage?

I also do use OPAL LUKS with dracut, but my setup uses TPM2 to auto
unlock it. I will check the manual keyboard input during dracut
initramfs LUKS unlock stage.


Sincerely,
Jihong Min

Re: [Bug 221721] New: prom21-xhci does not allow to use USB keyboard in plymouth

[Jihong Min]

With a little more of thinking, I think this happens due to the
initramfs building tool not including xhci-pci-prom21.ko when
xhci-pci.ko is built with the Kconfig where USB_XHCI_PCI_PROM21 was enabled.

Can you check your initramfs file for whether it holds
xhci-pci-prom21.ko correctly, or not?

For example, with dracut, you can do something like:
cat <<'EOF' | sudo tee /etc/dracut.conf.d/10-xhci-pci-prom21.conf
# PROM21 xHCI PCI glue is needed before root/LUKS unlock when xhci-pci
is modular.
force_drivers+=" xhci-pci-prom21 "
