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: new quirk to reduce the SET_ADDRESS request timeout

2023-11-23T12:32:44+00:00

This patch introduces a new USB quirk, USB_QUIRK_SHORT_SET_ADDRESS_REQ_TIMEOUT, which modifies the timeout value for the SET_ADDRESS request. The standard timeout for USB request/command is 5000 ms, as recommended in the USB 3.2 specification (section 9.2.6.1). However, certain scenarios, such as connecting devices through an APTIV hub, can lead to timeout errors when the device enumerates as full speed initially and later switches to high speed during chirp negotiation. In such cases, USB analyzer logs reveal that the bus suspends for 5 seconds due to incorrect chirp parsing and resumes only after two consecutive timeout errors trigger a hub driver reset.

The newly introduced quirks provide the flexibility to align with a 3-second time limit, as required in specific contexts like automotive applications. By reducing the SET_ADDRESS request timeout to 500 ms, the system can respond more swiftly to errors, initiate rapid recovery, and ensure efficient device enumeration. This change is vital for scenarios where rapid smartphone enumeration and screen projection are essential.

USB: core: add endpoint-blacklist quirk

2020-02-10T19:14:22+00:00

Add a new device quirk that can be used to blacklist endpoints. Since commit 3e4f8e21c4f2 ("USB: core: fix check for duplicate endpoints") USB core ignores any duplicate endpoints found during descriptor parsing. In order to handle devices where the first interfaces with duplicate endpoints are the ones that should have their endpoints ignored, we need to add a blacklist.

usb: quirks: add control message delay for 1b1c:1b20

2018-03-06T17:17:34+00:00

Corsair Strafe RGB keyboard does not respond to usb control messages sometimes and hence generates timeouts. Commit de3af5bf259d ("usb: quirks: add delay init quirk for Corsair Strafe RGB keyboard") tried to fix those timeouts by adding USB_QUIRK_DELAY_INIT. Unfortunately, even with this quirk timeouts of usb_control_msg() can still be seen, but with a lower frequency (approx. 1 out of 15): [ 29.103520] usb 1-8: string descriptor 0 read error: -110 [ 34.363097] usb 1-8: can't set config #1, error -110 Adding further delays to different locations where usb control messages are issued just moves the timeouts to other locations, e.g.: [ 35.400533] usbhid 1-8:1.0: can't add hid device: -110 [ 35.401014] usbhid: probe of 1-8:1.0 failed with error -110 The only way to reliably avoid those issues is having a pause after each usb control message. In approx. 200 boot cycles no more timeouts were seen. Addionaly, keep USB_QUIRK_DELAY_INIT as it turned out to be necessary to have the delay in hub_port_connect() after hub_port_init(). The overall boot time seems not to be influenced by these additional delays, even on fast machines and lightweight distributions.

License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license

2017-11-02T10:10:55+00:00

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches. Reviewed-by: Kate Stewart Reviewed-by: Philippe Ombredanne Reviewed-by: Thomas Gleixner Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman
