The USB core hub thread (khubd) is designed with external USB hubs in mind. It expects that if a port status change bit is set, the hub will continue to send a notification through the hub status data transfer. Basically, it expects hub notifications to be level-triggered. The xHCI host controller is designed to be edge-triggered on the logical 'OR' of all the port status change bits. When all port status change bits are clear, and a new change bit is set, the xHC will generate a Port Status Change Event. If another change bit is set in the same port status register before the first bit is cleared, it will not send another event. This means that the hub code may lose port status changes because of race conditions between clearing change bits. The user sees this as a "dead port" that doesn't react to device connects. The fix is to turn on port polling whenever a new change bit is set. Once the USB core issues a hub status request that shows that no change bits are set in any USB ports, turn off port polling. We can't allow the USB core to poll the roothub for port events during host suspend because if the PCI host is in D3cold, the port registers will be all f's. Instead, stop the port polling timer, and unconditionally restart it when the host resumes. If there are no port change bits set after the resume, the first call to hub_status_data will disable polling. This patch should be backported to stable kernels with the first xHCI support, 2.6.31 and newer, that include the commit 0f2a79300a1471cf92ab43af165ea13555c8b0a5 "USB: xhci: Root hub support." There will be merge conflicts because the check for HC_STATE_SUSPENDED was moved into xhci_suspend in 3.8.

To understand all the Linux-USB framework, you'll use these resources:
* This source code. This is necessarily an evolving work, and
includes kerneldoc that should help you get a current overview.
("make pdfdocs", and then look at "usb.pdf" for host side and
"gadget.pdf" for peripheral side.) Also, Documentation/usb has
more information.
* The USB 2.0 specification (from www.usb.org), with supplements
such as those for USB OTG and the various device classes.
The USB specification has a good overview chapter, and USB
peripherals conform to the widely known "Chapter 9".
* Chip specifications for USB controllers. Examples include
host controllers (on PCs, servers, and more); peripheral
controllers (in devices with Linux firmware, like printers or
cell phones); and hard-wired peripherals like Ethernet adapters.
* Specifications for other protocols implemented by USB peripheral
functions. Some are vendor-specific; others are vendor-neutral
but just standardized outside of the www.usb.org team.
Here is a list of what each subdirectory here is, and what is contained in
them.
core/ - This is for the core USB host code, including the
usbfs files and the hub class driver ("khubd").
host/ - This is for USB host controller drivers. This
includes UHCI, OHCI, EHCI, and others that might
be used with more specialized "embedded" systems.
gadget/ - This is for USB peripheral controller drivers and
the various gadget drivers which talk to them.
Individual USB driver directories. A new driver should be added to the
first subdirectory in the list below that it fits into.
image/ - This is for still image drivers, like scanners or
digital cameras.
../input/ - This is for any driver that uses the input subsystem,
like keyboard, mice, touchscreens, tablets, etc.
../media/ - This is for multimedia drivers, like video cameras,
radios, and any other drivers that talk to the v4l
subsystem.
../net/ - This is for network drivers.
serial/ - This is for USB to serial drivers.
storage/ - This is for USB mass-storage drivers.
class/ - This is for all USB device drivers that do not fit
into any of the above categories, and work for a range
of USB Class specified devices.
misc/ - This is for all USB device drivers that do not fit
into any of the above categories.
