This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
USB: hub: Don't record a connect-change event during reset-resume
to my usb git tree which can be found at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/usb.git in the usb-linus branch.
The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree (usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)
The patch will hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the next -rc kernel release.
If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

Paul Zimmerman reports that his USB Bluetooth adapter sometimes crashes following system resume, when it receives a Get-Device-Descriptor request while it is busy doing something else.
Such a request was added by commit a4f55d8b8c14 ("usb: hub: Check device descriptor before resusciation"). It gets sent when the hub driver's work thread checks whether a connect-change event on an enabled port really indicates a new device has been connected, as opposed to an old device momentarily disconnecting and then reconnecting (which can happen with xHCI host controllers, since they automatically enable connected ports).
The same kind of thing occurs when a port's power session is lost during system suspend. When the system wakes up it sees a connect-change event on the port, and if the child device's persist_enabled flag was set then hub_activate() sets the device's reset_resume flag as well as the port's bit in hub->change_bits. The reset-resume code then takes responsibility for checking that the same device is still attached to the port, and it does this as part of the device's resume pathway. By the time the hub driver's work thread starts up again, the device has already been fully reinitialized and is busy doing its own thing. There's no need for the work thread to do the same check a second time, and in fact this unnecessary check is what caused the problem that Paul observed.
Note that performing the unnecessary check is not actually a bug. Devices are supposed to be able to send descriptors back to the host even when they are busy doing something else. The underlying cause of Paul's problem lies in his Bluetooth adapter. Nevertheless, we shouldn't perform the same check twice in a row -- and as a nice side benefit, removing the extra check allows the Bluetooth adapter to work more reliably.
The work thread performs its check when it sees that the port's bit is set in hub->change_bits. In this situation that bit is interpreted as though a connect-change event had occurred on the port _after_ the reset-resume, which is not what actually happened.
One possible fix would be to make the reset-resume code clear the port's bit in hub->change_bits. But it seems simpler to just avoid setting the bit during hub_activate() in the first place. That's what this patch does.
(Proving that the patch is correct when CONFIG_PM is disabled requires a little thought. In that setting hub_activate() will be called only for initialization and resets, since there won't be any resumes or reset-resumes. During initialization and hub resets the hub doesn't have any child devices, and so this code path never gets executed.)
