Did you drill into it to figure out why this is needed ?

Marek,
Let me clarify....
All my boards work with the original code (before the commit which aligned
the size to the wMaxPacketSize).... Since that commit, all my boards are
broken.
And you will notice in this patch, that none of my boards define this
CONFIG_ ...

So I think you are asking the wrong person to drill down into this issue....
Sorry, Steve

Guys, please correct me if I'm wrong, but the problem _is_ be caused
by supporting different fastboot protocol versions.

Unfortunately, there is no way to specify "version" in the protocol so
different versions of fastboot application handle transmission
differently.

I think that Sam and Steve were trying to test the code by using their
fastboot apps, but without any conclusion. Am I right there? Has
something changed?

I'm OK with Kconfig flag approach, if we don't have any reliable way to
distinct protocol versions.

One fastboot user my try it with this option enabled or disabled.

What I would love to see is a proper entry into ./doc READMEs to
clarify this issue (not necessarily with this patch series). It would
help other users in the future.

Hm, if there are two protocol versions and the protocol is such a
braindead design that it doesn't send version in it's datagrams, then
instead of selecting one protocol version via Kconfig option at compile
time, we should add an optional arg for the fastboot command to select
which host you're talking to at run-time ?

Well who else can I ask ? You're our only hope at fixing this proper.

Anyway, see my other reply, maybe we should just add an arg to fastboot
command to select one more of operation or the other and default to the
one which works.

[U-Boot] [PATCH v2] fastboot: OUT transaction length must be aligned to wMaxPacketSize

[Steve Rae]

No -- I do not believe that this issue is caused by different fastboot
(client) versions (the executable that runs on the host computer -
Linux, Windows, Mac, etc.)
I have personally attempted three (3) different versions, and the
results are consistent.

And no I don't think that I "am the only hope at fixing this proper"
-- as you will see below,
this" issue" seems to be unique to the "TI platforms" (... nobody else
has stated they have an issue either way -- but I don't think many use
this feature ....)
So maybe someone with "TI platforms" could investigate this more thoroughly...

HISTORY:

The U-Boot code, up to Feb 25, worked properly on my Broadcom boards
-- this code contains:
               req->length = rx_bytes_expected();
                if (req->length < ep->maxpacket)
                        req->length = ep->maxpacket;
which aligned the remaining "rx_bytes_expected" to be aligned to the
"ep->maxpacket" size.

On Feb 25, there was a patch applied from <dileep.katta@linaro.org>
which forces the remaining "rx_bytes_expected" to be aligned to the
"wMaxPacketSize" size -- this patch broke all Broadcom boards:
+       if (rx_remain < maxpacket) {
+               rx_remain = maxpacket;
+       } else if (rx_remain % maxpacket != 0) {
+               rem = rx_remain % maxpacket;
+               rx_remain = rx_remain + (maxpacket - rem);
+       }

After attempting to unsuccessfully contact Dileep, I requested that
this patch be reverted -- because it broke my boards! (see the other
email thread).

Sam Protsenko <semen.protsenko@linaro.org> has stated that this Feb 25
change is required to make "fastboot work on TI platforms".

Thus,
- Broadcom boards require alignment to "ep->maxpacket" size
- TI platforms require alignment to "wMaxPacketSize" size
And we seem to be at a stale-mate.
Unfortunately, I do not know enough about the USB internals to
understand why this change breaks the Broadcom boards; or why it _is_
required on the TI platforms....
( Is there any debugging that can be turned on to validate what is
happening at the lower levels? )
( Can anyone explain why "wMaxPacketSize" size would be required? --
my limited understanding of endpoints makes me think that
"ep->maxpacket" size is actually the correct value! )

I asked Sam to submit a patch which conditionally applied the
alignment to "wMaxPacketSize" size change -- he stated that he was too
busy right now -- so I submitted this patch on his behalf (although he
still needs to add the Kconfig for the TI platforms in order to make
his boards work)....

I suppose I could also propose a patch where the condition _removes_
this feature (and define it on the Broadcom boards)  -- do we
generally like "negated" conditionals?
+#ifndef CONFIG_USB_GADGET_FASTBOOT_DOWNLOAD_DISABLE_ALIGNMENT_WITH_WMAXPACKETSIZE
Please advise!

Further, how does the U-Boot community respond to a change which
breaks something which is already working? Doesn't the "author" of
that change bear any responsibility on assisting to get "their" change
working properly with "all" the existing boards? I'm getting the
impression that "because the current code works for me", that I am not
getting any assistance in resolving this issue -- which is why I
suggested "reverting" this change back to the original code; that way,
it would (politely?) force someone interested in "TI platforms" to
step up and look into this....

Sorry for asking so many questions in one email -- but I'd appreciate
answers....
( I also apologize in advance for the "attitude" which is leaking into
this email... )
Please tell me what I can do! I had working boards; now they are all
broken -- and I don't how how to get them working again....
Thanks, Steve

TI platforms use musb USB/OTG controller, could the issue them be
specific to MUSB ?

OK, so, either way this is broken for some platforms and noone is
interested enough to cooperate and fix this properly, yes ?

Definitely not, I will not have a new macro added just to paper over
some problem which noone bothered to research and fix properly, sorry.

Kick the TI person into the backside until he comes up with a proper
solution. Be annoying. Or, if that leads nowhere, I will just apply
the revert and break it for TI and expect them to fix it proper.

btw. note that ELC is going on this week, so replies might be delayed.

OK -- I am happy to be patient for a while....  And that is also why I
submitted the request to "revert" this change -- that email thread actually
did spark a bit of a conversation; but then it seemed to die without any
real resolution.....

Anyone with MUSB in Gadget mode who can test this ? I think some sunxi
had MUSB.

I was not paying much attention to it as it's a gadget stuff and I am
not tracking gadget stuff that much. I will dive into it later.

But the problem here is not connected with UMS/DFU/Thor which are on
the upper layer in the stack.

This is somewhat two fold:

1. Your host (libusb which one is using + fastboot implementation)
requires transfers which are padded to some (fixed?) value (not checking
what USB device descriptor is saying for example).

2. The UDC IP block silicon implementation is different for those two
companies.

Is Broadcomm using any other gadgets (DFU/UMS)? Is fastboot the only one
available (as it is done at bcm28155_ap.h) ?

To fix this problem I use debug from dwc2 UDC driver to see what
requests are commit IN and OUT (and when it hangs).

I also use Lauterbach to inspect memory state and registers.

However, I will not help you much since you are using different UDC IP
block and driver (musb vs dwc2_udc_otg).

I can only speak about DWC2 (from Synopsis) embedded at Samsung boards.
There are low level debugging registers (documented, but not supposed
to be used at normal operation), which give you some impression
regarding very low level events.

DWC2 at Samsung is using those to work properly since we had some
problems with dwc2 IP blocks implementation on early Samsung
platforms :-). This approach works in u-boot up till now.

Another option is to use JTAG debugger (like Lauterbach) to inspect
state of this IP block.

As we know the author of this change is not working at Linaro anymore.

If you don't have enough time (and HW) for investigate the issue, I
think that Kconfig option with documentation entry is the way to go.

I hope that Sam don't have any objections with such approach.

If this commit doesn't break any platform -- I'm ok with that. If it
breaks anything (TI boards particularly) -- I'd ask to revert it at
once, as this is I believe not right way to do things.

So Steve, please add
CONFIG_USB_GADGET_FASTBOOT_DOWNLOAD_ALIGNMENT_REQUIRED option to all
required defconfigs (except yours), so that your patch only fixes your
platforms, but doesn't break any other platform at the same time. Also
good thing to do after that is check options order in changed
defconfigs with "make savedefconfig" rule. Both your current changes
and appropriate lines in defconfigs should be committed as a single
patch, so that it doesn't break anything and "git bisect" may be used
to look for regressions. Also, really nice thing to do after all of
this, is to use "./tools/buildman/buildman" tool to check all ARM
boards for regressions after your patch (you should see that only your
boards were changed).

Ideally, we should check it on all boards (or at least on all UDC
controllers supported in U-Boot) and figure out what is happening
exactly. But I'm totally fine with hack if it fixes real problem on
some platforms. I just ask you guys to not break anything else at the
same time (although it surely takes much more effort, but still).

I'm confused...
You are saying that it is OK to checkin a change that fixes TI boards (Feb
25), even though it breaks Broadcom boards;
but if _this_ change "breaks anything" then it is NOT OK ?????
( I politely disagree.... )
PS - therefore - what is the right way? (..."this is I believe not right
way to do things"...)

So -- here is why I cannot complete this task:
I have absolutely no idea which boards actually _require_ this capability,
therefore, I have no idea which defconfigs I would need to update!

So, if you would send me a list of which defconfig files need to add this
line, I'll update it....
OR (I would prefer) you could submit a v3 which includes the boards that
you know require this capability!

Let me know,
Thanks, Steve

yup -- I use buildman almost exclusively....

I'm confused (again) -- why are you asking: "you guys to not break anything
else"...
IT IS ALREADY BROKEN, it is broken right now, and has been broken since Feb
25 !

Please fix this!

Look, it's current state of things. Some stuff is broken, I admit
that. But you can't just break something while fixing another stuff.
It's not even about "your" boards or "my" boards. It's just not right,
I thought it's pretty obvious. So what is correct way to do in that
case? I believe it's fix only boards you know for sure are broken, but
keep old fastboot behaviour for the rest of boards. Not only TI, but
all boards except yours. So that after buildman run you can see that
only your boards were changed, something like that.

As I see it:

- look into include/configs/*.h
- find all headers that use fastboot capability
- find corresponding TARGET_ for each header
- find all defconfigs for each TARGET_
- your defconfigs should disable alignment
- rest of defconfigs should enable alignment (default behavior)

This way you fix your boards (that you know need to be fixed) but keep
rest of boards intact. If some other boards need to be fixed too --
they will be fixed further by some folks who need that.

I'm not gonna send this patch for you, sorry. I just don't need that,
and I'm not the author of original patch, so it's just not my concern.
I can't even test it for boards that actually broken.

...So let's fix half of platforms and break the other half of
platforms altogether? It's not for me to decide, I'm not the
maintainer. But it just doesn't feel right to me.

I understand your concern, and I can help you test your patches on my
boards any time and also run some debug patches to see the difference.
But I can't fix it for you. Also I'm not sure that your patch would be
merged in current shape (it's basically a hack). So if I were you I'd
try to figure out the root cause of this issue by comparing results of
some debug patches and tests, by running them on your boards (where
fastboot is broken) and on some boards where fastboot is working.
Maybe running wireshark in both cases can help to understand why it's
happening. From my POV it was a good assumption (made by someone
earlier) that possible reason is different UDC controllers (I have
DWC3 on my TI boards).

I cannot agree with the assumptions that you are making -- their is no
evidence that "all boards except <mine>" where broken prior to the Feb 25
patch....

Why should the default behavior be "align with wMaxPacketSize"?
I would argue that the default behavior should be "align with "ep->maxpacket"
size"!
U-Boot history shows that "align with "ep->maxpacket" size" was the
original code;
then a patch was added to change it to "align with wMaxPacketSize" --
however, there is NO EXPLANATION given, other than the commit message:

    fastboot: OUT transaction length must be aligned to wMaxPacketSize

    OUT transactions must be aligned to wMaxPacketSize for each transfer,
    or else transfer will not complete successfully. This patch modifies
    rx_bytes_expected to return a transfer length that is aligned to
    wMaxPacketSize.

    Note that the value of wMaxPacketSize and ep->maxpacket may not be
    the same value, and it is the value of wMaxPacketSize that should be
    used for alignment. wMaxPacketSize is passed depending on the speed of
    connection.

It's not the point. The default behavior can be any of those two, I
basically meant "previous" or "another" behavior.

For the sake of argument, we don't know for sure which behavior is
correct, because it's not documented.

The only actual documentation for fastboot protocol I found is [1],
and I don't see any mention of alignment there at all. So it wouldn't
surprise me if that patch was done just out of of empiric
observations. Which doesn't make it any less significant.

Please review [2], as it can be related. Especially this part of commit message:

USB 2.0 specification, section 8.5.3.2 says:

" 8.5.3.2 Variable-length Data Stage A control pipe may have a
variable-length data phase in which the host requests more data than
is contained in the specified data structure. When all of the data
structure is returned to the host, the function should indicate that
the Data stage is ended by returning a packet that is shorter than the
MaxPacketSize for the pipe. If the data structure is an exact multiple
of wMaxPacketSize for the pipe, the function will return a zero-length
packet to indicate the end of the Data stage. "

I'm too sleepy right now to interpret information and make any
conclusions, but maybe we should check how the end of Data Stage is
implemented for different UDC controllers in U-Boot. TI boards use
DWC3 controller. Which is yours?

So, the protocol says "Max packet size must be 64 bytes for full-speed,
512 bytes for high-speed and 1024 bytes for Super Speed USB.".  What are
wMaxPacketSize and ep->maxpacket in these cases, both the TI+DWC3 ones,
Broadcom+DWC2 and if someone can grab one, TI+MUSB.  And then, what
exactly does everyone failure logs look like, perhaps with some
annotations where it fails?

The maxpacket size is 512 bytes. As per TI+DWC3 specification, for device mode the TRB buffer size must be multiple of maximum endpoint packet size.
For usb data reception (including short transfer), the request buffer length shall be multiple of endpoint maxpacket size.

I am totally not fine with hack, so please fix it such that both
platforms work without added config option. Thanks

The issue is already solved in Kernel with the patch [1]. May we can
take a similar approach and fix the issue without having config options.

This seems reasonable.  Can you do this, along with a follow-up patch
that sets it for DWC3?  Thanks!

If I can add my two cents.


I believe that it would be worth to add some explanation into at least
the commit message (like very short excerpt from respective User Manual
or at least chapter number for further reference).

The patch in [1] is about setting USB request buffer aligned to MaxPacketSize.
In f_fastboot.c case we allocate request buffer like so
	req->buf = memalign(CONFIG_SYS_CACHELINE_SIZE, EP_BUFFER_SIZE);

where EP_BUFFER_SIZE is 4096 which is an integral multiple of 512 as well as 64.
So I'm not sure how [1] is related to the subject and if it will fix anything.

I think the problem is more about the length of the last OUT transfer packet.
Some controllers might not like that to be not an integral multiple of wMaxPacketSize
and we need to ensure that. This is being done in f_mass_storage.c in set_bulk_out_req_length().
Doing that shouldn't affect other controllers.

So we need to really fix commit 9e4b510.

Another thing I noticed is that f_fastboot.c is not setting the right endpoint size for
hight speed BULK_IN endpoint. I'll send out patches for that.

cheers,

My question was about the above sentence. I was wondering if there is
any errata or user manual entry explicitly specifying that.

It is not an errata but stated in the dwc3 user manual like so

section 8.2.3.3	Buffer Size Rules and Zero-Length Packets

For OUT endpoints, the following rules apply:
? The BUFSIZ field must be ? 1 byte.
? The total size of a Buffer Descriptor must be a multiple of MaxPacketSize
? A received zero-length packet still requires a MaxPacketSize buffer. Therefore, if the expected
amount of data to be received is a multiple of MaxPacketSize, software should add MaxPacketSize
bytes to the buffer to sink a possible zero-length packet at the end of the transfer.

This part looks fine as we're rounding up 536 to 1024 for 512 byte alignment.

Here it says we completed the 536 bytes last transfer right?

Why is this additional 488 bytes being queued? This is the real issue
we need to debug.

the "rx bytes = 536/536" (in the working code)...
so maybe the driver "knows" that there are no more bytes to come ?!?!?!?

the "rx bytes = 536/1024" (in the NON-working code)...
so maybe the driver "thinks" that there are still 1024-536=488 bytes to
come ?!?!?!?

so maybe because we told the driver to "expect" 1024 bytes, when if fact we
only "expect" 536 ?!?!?!?
I really don't know, and have not spent any time inside the driver code --
because it was always working properly......
