SubjectRe: mei: cancel stall timers in mei_reset
Hi,

In case my previous mail went to /dev/null, it is all about the flood of
error messages in the system log, like these:

mei_me 0000:00:16.0: reset: wrong host start response
mei_me 0000:00:16.0: unexpected reset: dev_state = INIT_CLIENTS
mei_me 0000:00:16.0: reset: unexpected enumeration response hbm.
mei_me 0000:00:16.0: unexpected reset: dev_state = INIT_CLIENTS

Even after the patches (https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/9/2/162) that went
into kernel 3.10.15, the problem still shows up occasionally on my
Lenovo X230 laptop with kernels 3.10.15, 3.10.16 and 3.11.6. It seems to
be retated to IRQ handling now.

When the problem occurs, mei_reset() is called repeatedly and the system
logs grow rapidly until they consume all free disk space.

Most of the messages are output by mei_hbm_dispatch().

I added debug prints to the code of mei_hbm_dispatch() and found the
following:

1. When HOST_START_RES_CMD response is being handled, dev->hbm_state is
0x2 sometimes, that is, MEI_HBM_ENUM_CLIENTS (!) rather than
MEI_HBM_START what it probably should be. That's why the error message
is printed and mei_reset() is called again.

2. When HOST_ENUM_RES_CMD response is being handled, dev->hbm_state is
0x1 (MEI_HBM_START) while it should be MEI_HBM_ENUM_CLIENTS. This also
results in an error message and mei_reset().

That is, dev->hbm_state contains a wrong value in both cases. I haven't
figured out so far why it happens.

Do you know how to fix that?
