Re: [PATCH] xhci: Fix Link TRB DMA in command ring stopped completion event

Thanks, I remember having some issues with command aborts, but I blamed
them on my own bugs, although I never found what the problem was. I may
take a look at it later, but I'm currently busy with other things.

No comment about validity of this patch for now, but a few remarks:

You don't need to iterate the array. Something like this should work:
do {
	if (in_range(dma, seg->dma, TRB_SEGMENT_SIZE)) {
		/* found the TRB, check if it's link */
		trb = &seg->trbs[(dma - seg->dma) / sizeof(*trb)];
		return trb_is_link(trb);
	}
	// try next seg, while (blah blah), return false

We should probably have a helper for (ring, dma)->trb lookups, but
for stable it may be sensible to do it without excess complication.

This if statement is quite complex now. I would be tempted to write
it this way instead:

/* original comment */
if (cmd_dma != dequeue_dma) {
	/* your new comment */
	if (! (RING_STOPPED && is_link)) {
		warn();
		return;
	}
}
