usb: core: new quirk to handle devices with zero configurations

2026-03-11T15:17:19+00:00

Some USB devices incorrectly report bNumConfigurations as 0 in their device descriptor, which causes the USB core to reject them during enumeration. logs: usb 1-2: device descriptor read/64, error -71 usb 1-2: no configurations usb 1-2: can't read configurations, error -22 However, these devices actually work correctly when treated as having a single configuration. Add a new quirk USB_QUIRK_FORCE_ONE_CONFIG to handle such devices. When this quirk is set, assume the device has 1 configuration instead of failing with -EINVAL. This quirk is applied to the device with VID:PID 5131:2007 which exhibits this behavior.

Convert 'alloc_flex' family to use the new default GFP_KERNEL argument

2026-02-22T01:09:51+00:00

This is the exact same thing as the 'alloc_obj()' version, only much smaller because there are a lot fewer users of the *alloc_flex() interface. As with alloc_obj() version, this was done entirely with mindless brute force, using the same script, except using 'flex' in the pattern rather than 'objs*'. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types

2026-02-21T09:02:28+00:00

This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union object instances: Single allocations: kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...) Array allocations: kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...) Flex array allocations: kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...) (where TYPE may also be *VAR) The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning "TYPE *". Signed-off-by: Kees Cook

usb: core: add USB_QUIRK_NO_BOS for devices that hang on BOS descriptor

2026-01-07T16:07:00+00:00

Add USB_QUIRK_NO_BOS quirk flag to skip requesting the BOS descriptor for devices that cannot handle it. Add Elgato 4K X (0fd9:009b) to the quirk table. This device hangs when the BOS descriptor is requested at SuperSpeed Plus (10Gbps).

usb: core: eUSB2 companion descriptor is for isoc IN endpoints only

2025-09-06T13:25:05+00:00

The eUSB2 isochronous double bandwidth endpoint descriptor is allowed for the isochronous IN endpoints, according to the ECN. Do not parse these descriptors if they are found in interrupt or OUT endpoints.

usb: core: config: Prevent OOB read in SS endpoint companion parsing

2025-07-01T14:16:32+00:00

usb_parse_ss_endpoint_companion() checks descriptor type before length, enabling a potentially odd read outside of the buffer size. Fix this up by checking the size first before looking at any of the fields in the descriptor. Signed-off-by: Xinyu Liu Cc: stable Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman
