[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] Memory corruption after OHCI reset

[Ed Swierk]

When the USB OHCI controller starts, a periodic end-of-frame routine
writes to a chunk of memory set aside by the device driver. If the
machine reboots or the OS kexecs, the controller continues writing
even though the memory is no longer owned by the device driver,
causing random, mysterious corruption, until the new OS reinitializes
the OHCI controller.

The attached patch fixes this by resetting the controller whenever the
machine reboots or the device driver issues a reset command, and
disabling the timer when the controller resets.
