commit 7e393a834b upstream.
Setting the chain (CH) bit in the link TRB of isochronous transfer rings
is required by AMD 0.96 xHCI host controller to successfully transverse
multi-TRB TD that span through different memory segments.
When a Missed Service Error event occurs, if the chain bit is not set in
the link TRB and the host skips TDs which just across a link TRB, the
host may falsely recognize the link TRB as a normal TRB. You can see
this may cause big trouble - the host does not jump to the right address
which is pointed by the link TRB, but continue fetching the memory which
is after the link TRB address, which may not even belong to the host,
and the result cannot be predicted.
This causes some big problems. Without the former patch I sent: "xHCI:
prevent infinite loop when processing MSE event", the system may hang.
With that patch applied, system does not hang, but the host still access
wrong memory address and isoc transfer will fail. With this patch,
isochronous transfer works as expected.
This patch should be applied to kernels as old as 2.6.36, which was when
the first isochronous support was added for the xHCI host controller.

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.
