commit 152f174a13618bec1f842d2deb69245cb2ace51f upstream.

Certain third-party USB game controllers exposing (or spoofing) an Xbox
360-compatible interface (VID:PID 045e:028e) fail to enumerate under Linux.
The device disconnects from the bus without responding to the initial
GET_DESCRIPTOR(CONFIGURATION) request, and the kernel logs 'unable to read
config index 0 descriptor/start: -71'.

The device then falls back to a secondary Android HID mode (with a
different VID:PID), losing XInput functionality including rumble support.
The failure reproduces across multiple machines, host controller types, and
kernel versions including current mainline and LTS. The device enumerates
correctly and remains in XInput mode under Windows. Notably, the device
enumerates correctly in Android mode when the same 9-byte request
is issued for that mode's configuration descriptor, confirming the firmware
bug is specific to the XInput mode.

usbmon traces from Linux and Wireshark/USBPcap traces from Windows are
identical up to the point of failure, with no visible protocol-level
difference explaining the divergence. The root cause was identified when
Michal Pecio discovered via a QEMU bus-level capture that Windows does not
use wLength=9 for the initial config descriptor request; it uses
wLength=255. Alan Stern subsequently confirmed this with a bus
analyzer on a different USB 2.0 device, and Michal verified the behavior
goes back to Windows 95 OSR2.1.

So, add a new quirk flag USB_QUIRK_WINDOWS_CONFIG_REQ_SIZE which causes
usb_get_configuration() to issue a 255 byte sized configuration request
instead of USB_DT_CONFIG_SIZE (9) for the initial
GET_DESCRIPTOR(CONFIGURATION) request, mimicking long-standing Windows
behavior.

This patch intentionally does not add any new VID:PID entries using this
quirk. Some affected Xbox 360-compatible controllers spoof Microsoft's
VID:PID, while genuine Microsoft controllers already enumerate correctly
and do not require this quirk. Other affected clone devices use their own
VID:PID pairs and can be added individually as they are identified.

[ 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.

<title>qmi_wwan: allow max_mtu above hard_mtu to control rx_urb_size</title>

commit 55f854dd5bdd8e19b936a00ef1f8d776ac32c7b0 upstream.

Commit c7159e960f14 ("usbnet: limit max_mtu based on device's hard_mtu")
capped net-&gt;max_mtu to the device's hard_mtu in usbnet_probe(). While
this correctly prevents oversized packets on standard USB network
devices, it breaks the qmi_wwan driver.

qmi_wwan relies on userspace (e.g. ModemManager) setting a large MTU on
the wwan0 interface to configure rx_urb_size via usbnet_change_mtu().
QMI modems negotiate USB transfer sizes of 16,383 or 32,767 bytes, and
the USB receive buffers must be sized accordingly. With max_mtu capped
to hard_mtu (~1500 bytes), userspace can no longer raise the MTU, the
receive buffers remain small, and download speeds drop from &gt;300 Mbps
to ~0.8 Mbps.

Introduce a FLAG_NOMAXMTU driver flag that allows individual usbnet
drivers to opt out of the max_mtu cap. Set this flag in qmi_wwan's
driver_info structures to restore the previous behavior for QMI devices,
while keeping the safety fix in place for all other usbnet drivers.

A race condition during gadget teardown can lead to a use-after-free
in usb_gadget_state_work(), as reported by KASAN:

  BUG: KASAN: invalid-access in sysfs_notify+0x2c/0xd0
  Workqueue: events usb_gadget_state_work

The fundamental race occurs because a concurrent event (e.g., an
interrupt) can call usb_gadget_set_state() and schedule gadget-&gt;work
at any time during the cleanup process in usb_del_gadget().

Commit 399a45e5237c ("usb: gadget: core: flush gadget workqueue after
device removal") attempted to fix this by moving flush_work() to after
device_del(). However, this does not fully solve the race, as a new
work item can still be scheduled *after* flush_work() completes but
before the gadget's memory is freed, leading to the same use-after-free.

This patch fixes the race condition robustly by introducing a 'teardown'
flag and a 'state_lock' spinlock to the usb_gadget struct. The flag is
set during cleanup in usb_del_gadget() *before* calling flush_work() to
prevent any new work from being scheduled once cleanup has commenced.
The scheduling site, usb_gadget_set_state(), now checks this flag under
the lock before queueing the work, thus safely closing the race window.

Pull USB / Thunderbolt updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the big set of USB and thunderbolt drivers for 6.18-rc1. It
  was another normal development cycle, with lots of the usual drivers
  getting updates:

   - Thunderbolt driver cleanups and additions

   - dwc3 driver updates

   - dwc2 driver updates

   - typec driver updates

   - xhci driver updates and additions

   - offload USB engine updates for better power management

   - unused tracepoint removals

   - usb gadget fixes and updates as more users start to rely on these
     drivers instead of the "old" function gadget drivers

   - new USB device ids

   - other minor driver USB driver updates

   - new USB I/O driver framework and driver additions"

  The last item, the usb i/o driver, has an i2c and gpio driver added
  through this tree. Those drivers were acked by the respective
  subsystem maintainers.

  All of these have been in linux-next for a while"

Pull USB / Thunderbolt updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the big set of USB and thunderbolt drivers for 6.18-rc1. It
  was another normal development cycle, with lots of the usual drivers
  getting updates:

   - Thunderbolt driver cleanups and additions

   - dwc3 driver updates

   - dwc2 driver updates

   - typec driver updates

   - xhci driver updates and additions

   - offload USB engine updates for better power management

   - unused tracepoint removals

   - usb gadget fixes and updates as more users start to rely on these
     drivers instead of the "old" function gadget drivers

   - new USB device ids

   - other minor driver USB driver updates

   - new USB I/O driver framework and driver additions"

  The last item, the usb i/o driver, has an i2c and gpio driver added
  through this tree. Those drivers were acked by the respective
  subsystem maintainers.

  All of these have been in linux-next for a while"

Kuen-Han Tsai &lt;khtsai@google.com&gt; says:

This patch series refactors the error-handling paths in the bind()
function for f_ncm, f_acm, f_ecm, and f_rndis drivers.

The current, unified goto logic in these drivers is vulnerable to a null
pointer dereference. This is caused by the cleanup logic incorrectly
handling the stale usb_request pointer after a bind/unbind cycle. This
series fixes this issue by converting the drivers to use the modern
__free() scope-based cleanup mechanism.

Patches 1-2 are preparatory, adding the endpoint pointer to struct
usb_request and defining helpers for the __free() cleanup. The remaining
four patches use this new plumbing to refactor each driver.

Future work
-----------
1. Refactor usb_ep_free_request(), usb_ep_queue(), and usb_ep_dequeue()
   functions as the ep parameter becomes redudant.
2. Convert the remaining gadget function drivers to use the new __free()
   cleanup mechanism.

Introduce the free_usb_request() function that frees both the request's
buffer and the request itself.

This function serves as the cleanup callback for DEFINE_FREE() to enable
automatic, scope-based cleanup for usb_request pointers.

Gadget function drivers often have goto-based error handling in their
bind paths, which can be bug-prone. Refactoring these paths to use
__free() scope-based cleanup is desirable, but currently blocked.

The blocker is that usb_ep_free_request(ep, req) requires two
parameters, while the __free() mechanism can only pass a pointer to the
request itself.

Store an endpoint pointer in the struct usb_request. The pointer is
populated centrally in usb_ep_alloc_request() on every successful
allocation, making the request object self-contained.
