There are several different exit latencies associated with coming out of the U1 or U2 lower power link state. Device Exit Latency (DEL) is the maximum time it takes for the USB device to bring its upstream link into U0. That can be found in the SuperSpeed Extended Capabilities BOS descriptor for the device. The time it takes for a particular link in the tree to exit to U0 is the maximum of either the parent hub's U1/U2 DEL, or the child's U1/U2 DEL. Hubs introduce a further delay that effects how long it takes a child device to transition to U0. When a USB 3.0 hub receives a header packet, it takes some time to decode that header and figure out which downstream port the packet was destined for. If the port is not in U0, this hub header decode latency will cause an additional delay for bringing the child device to U0. This Hub Header Decode Latency is found in the USB 3.0 hub descriptor. We can use DEL and the header decode latency, along with additional latencies imposed by each additional hub tier, to figure out the exit latencies for both host-initiated and device-initiated exit to U0. The Max Exit Latency (MEL) is the worst-case time it will take for a host-initiated exit to U0, based on whether U1 or U2 link states are enabled. The ping or packet must traverse the path to the device, and each hub along the way incurs the hub header decode latency in order to figure out which device the transfer was bound for. We say worst-case, because some hubs may not be in the lowest link state that is enabled. See the examples in section C.2.2.1. Note that "HSD" is a "host specific delay" that the power appendix architect has not been able to tell me how to calculate. There's no way to get HSD from the xHCI registers either, so I'm simply ignoring it. The Path Exit Latency (PEL) is the worst-case time it will take for a device-initiate exit to U0 to place all the links from the device to the host into U0. The System Exit Latency (SEL) is another device-initiated exit latency. SEL is useful for USB 3.0 devices that need to send data to the host at specific intervals. The device may send an NRDY to indicate it isn't ready to send data, then put its link into a lower power state. If it needs to have that data transmitted at a specific time, it can use SEL to back calculate when it will need to bring the link back into U0 to meet its deadlines. SEL is the worst-case time from the device-initiated exit to U0, to when the device will receive a packet from the host controller. It includes PEL, the time it takes for an ERDY to get to the host, a host-specific delay for the host to process that ERDY, and the time it takes for the packet to traverse the path to the device. See Figure C-2 in the USB 3.0 bus specification. Note: I have not been able to get good answers about what the host-specific delay to process the ERDY should be. The Intel HW developers say it will be specific to the platform the xHCI host is integrated into, and they say it's negligible. Ignore this too. Separate from these four exit latencies are the U1/U2 timeout values we program into the parent hubs. These timeouts tell the hub to attempt to place the device into a lower power link state after the link has been idle for that amount of time. Create two arrays (one for U1 and one for U2) to store mel, pel, sel, and the timeout values. Store the exit latency values in nanosecond units, since that's the smallest units used (DEL is in us, but the Hub Header Decode Latency is in ns). If a USB 3.0 device doesn't have a SuperSpeed Extended Capabilities BOS descriptor, it's highly unlikely it will be able to handle LPM requests properly. So it's best to disable LPM for devices that don't have this descriptor, and any children beneath it, if it's a USB 3.0 hub. Warn users when that happens, since it means they have a non-compliant USB 3.0 device or hub. This patch assumes a simplified design where links deep in the tree will not have U1 or U2 enabled unless all their parent links have the corresponding LPM state enabled. Eventually, we might want to allow a different policy, and we can revisit this patch when that happens.

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.
