USB device persistence during system suspend | ||
|
||
Alan Stern <[email protected]> | ||
|
||
September 2, 2006 (Updated May 29, 2007) | ||
|
||
|
||
What is the problem? | ||
|
||
According to the USB specification, when a USB bus is suspended the | ||
bus must continue to supply suspend current (around 1-5 mA). This | ||
is so that devices can maintain their internal state and hubs can | ||
detect connect-change events (devices being plugged in or unplugged). | ||
The technical term is "power session". | ||
|
||
If a USB device's power session is interrupted then the system is | ||
required to behave as though the device has been unplugged. It's a | ||
conservative approach; in the absence of suspend current the computer | ||
has no way to know what has actually happened. Perhaps the same | ||
device is still attached or perhaps it was removed and a different | ||
device plugged into the port. The system must assume the worst. | ||
|
||
By default, Linux behaves according to the spec. If a USB host | ||
controller loses power during a system suspend, then when the system | ||
wakes up all the devices attached to that controller are treated as | ||
though they had disconnected. This is always safe and it is the | ||
"officially correct" thing to do. | ||
|
||
For many sorts of devices this behavior doesn't matter in the least. | ||
If the kernel wants to believe that your USB keyboard was unplugged | ||
while the system was asleep and a new keyboard was plugged in when the | ||
system woke up, who cares? It'll still work the same when you type on | ||
it. | ||
|
||
Unfortunately problems _can_ arise, particularly with mass-storage | ||
devices. The effect is exactly the same as if the device really had | ||
been unplugged while the system was suspended. If you had a mounted | ||
filesystem on the device, you're out of luck -- everything in that | ||
filesystem is now inaccessible. This is especially annoying if your | ||
root filesystem was located on the device, since your system will | ||
instantly crash. | ||
|
||
Loss of power isn't the only mechanism to worry about. Anything that | ||
interrupts a power session will have the same effect. For example, | ||
even though suspend current may have been maintained while the system | ||
was asleep, on many systems during the initial stages of wakeup the | ||
firmware (i.e., the BIOS) resets the motherboard's USB host | ||
controllers. Result: all the power sessions are destroyed and again | ||
it's as though you had unplugged all the USB devices. Yes, it's | ||
entirely the BIOS's fault, but that doesn't do _you_ any good unless | ||
you can convince the BIOS supplier to fix the problem (lots of luck!). | ||
|
||
On many systems the USB host controllers will get reset after a | ||
suspend-to-RAM. On almost all systems, no suspend current is | ||
available during hibernation (also known as swsusp or suspend-to-disk). | ||
You can check the kernel log after resuming to see if either of these | ||
has happened; look for lines saying "root hub lost power or was reset". | ||
|
||
In practice, people are forced to unmount any filesystems on a USB | ||
device before suspending. If the root filesystem is on a USB device, | ||
the system can't be suspended at all. (All right, it _can_ be | ||
suspended -- but it will crash as soon as it wakes up, which isn't | ||
much better.) | ||
|
||
|
||
What is the solution? | ||
|
||
Setting CONFIG_USB_PERSIST will cause the kernel to work around these | ||
issues. It enables a mode in which the core USB device data | ||
structures are allowed to persist across a power-session disruption. | ||
It works like this. If the kernel sees that a USB host controller is | ||
not in the expected state during resume (i.e., if the controller was | ||
reset or otherwise had lost power) then it applies a persistence check | ||
to each of the USB devices below that controller for which the | ||
"persist" attribute is set. It doesn't try to resume the device; that | ||
can't work once the power session is gone. Instead it issues a USB | ||
port reset and then re-enumerates the device. (This is exactly the | ||
same thing that happens whenever a USB device is reset.) If the | ||
re-enumeration shows that the device now attached to that port has the | ||
same descriptors as before, including the Vendor and Product IDs, then | ||
the kernel continues to use the same device structure. In effect, the | ||
kernel treats the device as though it had merely been reset instead of | ||
unplugged. | ||
|
||
If no device is now attached to the port, or if the descriptors are | ||
different from what the kernel remembers, then the treatment is what | ||
you would expect. The kernel destroys the old device structure and | ||
behaves as though the old device had been unplugged and a new device | ||
plugged in, just as it would without the CONFIG_USB_PERSIST option. | ||
|
||
The end result is that the USB device remains available and usable. | ||
Filesystem mounts and memory mappings are unaffected, and the world is | ||
now a good and happy place. | ||
|
||
Note that even when CONFIG_USB_PERSIST is set, the "persist" feature | ||
will be applied only to those devices for which it is enabled. You | ||
can enable the feature by doing (as root): | ||
|
||
echo 1 >/sys/bus/usb/devices/.../power/persist | ||
|
||
where the "..." should be filled in the with the device's ID. Disable | ||
the feature by writing 0 instead of 1. For hubs the feature is | ||
automatically and permanently enabled, so you only have to worry about | ||
setting it for devices where it really matters. | ||
|
||
|
||
Is this the best solution? | ||
|
||
Perhaps not. Arguably, keeping track of mounted filesystems and | ||
memory mappings across device disconnects should be handled by a | ||
centralized Logical Volume Manager. Such a solution would allow you | ||
to plug in a USB flash device, create a persistent volume associated | ||
with it, unplug the flash device, plug it back in later, and still | ||
have the same persistent volume associated with the device. As such | ||
it would be more far-reaching than CONFIG_USB_PERSIST. | ||
|
||
On the other hand, writing a persistent volume manager would be a big | ||
job and using it would require significant input from the user. This | ||
solution is much quicker and easier -- and it exists now, a giant | ||
point in its favor! | ||
|
||
Furthermore, the USB_PERSIST option applies to _all_ USB devices, not | ||
just mass-storage devices. It might turn out to be equally useful for | ||
other device types, such as network interfaces. | ||
|
||
|
||
WARNING: Using CONFIG_USB_PERSIST can be dangerous!! | ||
|
||
When recovering an interrupted power session the kernel does its best | ||
to make sure the USB device hasn't been changed; that is, the same | ||
device is still plugged into the port as before. But the checks | ||
aren't guaranteed to be 100% accurate. | ||
|
||
If you replace one USB device with another of the same type (same | ||
manufacturer, same IDs, and so on) there's an excellent chance the | ||
kernel won't detect the change. Serial numbers and other strings are | ||
not compared. In many cases it wouldn't help if they were, because | ||
manufacturers frequently omit serial numbers entirely in their | ||
devices. | ||
|
||
Furthermore it's quite possible to leave a USB device exactly the same | ||
while changing its media. If you replace the flash memory card in a | ||
USB card reader while the system is asleep, the kernel will have no | ||
way to know you did it. The kernel will assume that nothing has | ||
happened and will continue to use the partition tables, inodes, and | ||
memory mappings for the old card. | ||
|
||
If the kernel gets fooled in this way, it's almost certain to cause | ||
data corruption and to crash your system. You'll have no one to blame | ||
but yourself. | ||
|
||
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! USE AT YOUR OWN RISK! | ||
|
||
That having been said, most of the time there shouldn't be any trouble | ||
at all. The "persist" feature can be extremely useful. Make the most | ||
of it. |
