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

2026-04-02T11:07:16+00:00

[ Upstream commit 9f6a983cfa22ac662c86e60816d3a357d4b551e9 ] 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.

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

2026-01-30T09:27:27+00:00

commit 2740ac33c87b3d0dfa022efd6ba04c6261b1abbd upstream. 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: config: Prevent OOB read in SS endpoint companion parsing

2025-08-28T14:28:31+00:00

commit cf16f408364efd8a68f39011a3b073c83a03612d upstream. 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

USB: core: Fix duplicate endpoint bug by clearing reserved bits in the descriptor

2024-07-18T11:21:19+00:00

commit a368ecde8a5055b627749b09c6218ef793043e47 upstream. Syzbot has identified a bug in usbcore (see the Closes: tag below) caused by our assumption that the reserved bits in an endpoint descriptor's bEndpointAddress field will always be 0. As a result of the bug, the endpoint_is_duplicate() routine in config.c (and possibly other routines as well) may believe that two descriptors are for distinct endpoints, even though they have the same direction and endpoint number. This can lead to confusion, including the bug identified by syzbot (two descriptors with matching endpoint numbers and directions, where one was interrupt and the other was bulk). To fix the bug, we will clear the reserved bits in bEndpointAddress when we parse the descriptor. (Note that both the USB-2.0 and USB-3.1 specs say these bits are "Reserved, reset to zero".) This requires us to make a copy of the descriptor earlier in usb_parse_endpoint() and use the copy instead of the original when checking for duplicates.

usb: config: fix iteration issue in 'usb_get_bos_descriptor()'

2023-12-03T06:33:09+00:00

commit 974bba5c118f4c2baf00de0356e3e4f7928b4cbc upstream. The BOS descriptor defines a root descriptor and is the base descriptor for accessing a family of related descriptors. Function 'usb_get_bos_descriptor()' encounters an iteration issue when skipping the 'USB_DT_DEVICE_CAPABILITY' descriptor type. This results in the same descriptor being read repeatedly. To address this issue, a 'goto' statement is introduced to ensure that the pointer and the amount read is updated correctly. This ensures that the function iterates to the next descriptor instead of reading the same descriptor repeatedly.

USB: Remove remnants of Wireless USB and UWB

2023-08-09T12:17:06+00:00

Wireless USB has long been defunct, and kernel support for it was removed in 2020 by commit caa6772db4c1 ("Staging: remove wusbcore and UWB from the kernel tree."). Nevertheless, some vestiges of the old implementation still clutter up the USB subsystem and one or two other places. Let's get rid of them once and for all. The only parts still left are the user-facing APIs in include/uapi/linux/usb/ch9.h. (There are also a couple of misleading instances, such as the Sierra Wireless USB modem, which is a USB modem made by Sierra Wireless.)

USB: core: Change configuration warnings to notices

2022-11-03T14:46:00+00:00

It has been pointed out that the kernel log messages warning about problems in USB configuration and related descriptors are vexing for users. The warning log level has a fairly high priority, but the user can do nothing to fix the underlying errors in the device's firmware. To reduce the amount of useless information produced by tools that filter high-priority log messages, we can change these warnings to notices, i.e., change dev_warn() to dev_notice(). The same holds for a few messages that currently use dev_err(): Unless they indicate a failure that might make a device unusable (such as inability to transfer a config descriptor), change them to dev_notice() also.

usb: core: config: fix validation of wMaxPacketValue entries

2021-12-12T12:06:35+00:00

The checks performed by commit aed9d65ac327 ("USB: validate wMaxPacketValue entries in endpoint descriptors") require that initial value of the maxp variable contains both maximum packet size bits (10..0) and multiple-transactions bits (12..11). However, the existing code assings only the maximum packet size bits. This patch assigns all bits of wMaxPacketSize to the variable.
