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

2026-04-02T11:25:22+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: Limit the length of unkillable synchronous timeouts

2026-03-19T15:15:04+00:00

commit 1015c27a5e1a63efae2b18a9901494474b4d1dc3 upstream. The usb_control_msg(), usb_bulk_msg(), and usb_interrupt_msg() APIs in usbcore allow unlimited timeout durations. And since they use uninterruptible waits, this leaves open the possibility of hanging a task for an indefinitely long time, with no way to kill it short of unplugging the target device. To prevent this sort of problem, enforce a maximum limit on the length of these unkillable timeouts. The limit chosen here, somewhat arbitrarily, is 60 seconds. On many systems (although not all) this is short enough to avoid triggering the kernel's hung-task detector. In addition, clear up the ambiguity of negative timeout values by treating them the same as 0, i.e., using the maximum allowed timeout.

USB: usbcore: Introduce usb_bulk_msg_killable()

2026-03-19T15:15:04+00:00

commit 416909962e7cdf29fd01ac523c953f37708df93d upstream. The synchronous message API in usbcore (usb_control_msg(), usb_bulk_msg(), and so on) uses uninterruptible waits. However, drivers may call these routines in the context of a user thread, which means it ought to be possible to at least kill them. For this reason, introduce a new usb_bulk_msg_killable() function which behaves the same as usb_bulk_msg() except for using wait_for_completion_killable_timeout() instead of wait_for_completion_timeout(). The same can be done later for usb_control_msg() later on, if it turns out to be needed.

usb: core: don't power off roothub PHYs if phy_set_mode() fails

2026-03-19T15:15:04+00:00

commit e293015ba76eb96ce4ebed7e3b2cb1a7d319f3e9 upstream. Remove the error path from the usb_phy_roothub_set_mode() function. The code is clearly wrong, because phy_set_mode() calls can't be balanced with phy_power_off() calls. Additionally, the usb_phy_roothub_set_mode() function is called only from usb_add_hcd() before it powers on the PHYs, so powering off those makes no sense anyway. Presumably, the code is copy-pasted from the phy_power_on() function without adjusting the error handling.

USB: add QUIRK_NO_BOS for video capture several devices

2026-03-19T15:15:03+00:00

commit 93cd0d664661f58f7e7bed7373714ab2ace41734 upstream. Several USB capture devices also need the USB_QUIRK_NO_BOS set for them to work properly, odds are they are all the same chip inside, just different vendor/product ids. This fixes up: - ASUS TUF 4K PRO - Avermedia Live Gamer Ultra 2.1 (GC553G2) - UGREEN 35871 to now run at full speed (10 Gbps/4K 60 fps mode.)

USB: add WQ_PERCPU to alloc_workqueue users

2025-11-21T14:17:36+00:00

Currently if a user enqueues a work item using schedule_delayed_work() the used wq is "system_wq" (per-cpu wq) while queue_delayed_work() use WORK_CPU_UNBOUND (used when a cpu is not specified). The same applies to schedule_work() that is using system_wq and queue_work(), that makes use again of WORK_CPU_UNBOUND. This lack of consistency cannot be addressed without refactoring the API. alloc_workqueue() treats all queues as per-CPU by default, while unbound workqueues must opt-in via WQ_UNBOUND. This default is suboptimal: most workloads benefit from unbound queues, allowing the scheduler to place worker threads where they’re needed and reducing noise when CPUs are isolated. This continues the effort to refactor workqueue APIs, which began with the introduction of new workqueues and a new alloc_workqueue flag in: commit 128ea9f6ccfb ("workqueue: Add system_percpu_wq and system_dfl_wq") commit 930c2ea566af ("workqueue: Add new WQ_PERCPU flag") This change adds a new WQ_PERCPU flag to explicitly request alloc_workqueue() to be per-cpu when WQ_UNBOUND has not been specified. With the introduction of the WQ_PERCPU flag (equivalent to !WQ_UNBOUND), any alloc_workqueue() caller that doesn’t explicitly specify WQ_UNBOUND must now use WQ_PERCPU. Once migration is complete, WQ_UNBOUND can be removed and unbound will become the implicit default.
