The ShanWan Wireless Gamepad (dongle ID 2563:0575) crashes with a -71
EPROTO error during standard enumeration because it expects a 255-byte
initial configuration request. Add this device to the quirk list to
use the USB_QUIRK_WINDOWS_CONFIG_REQ_SIZE flag.

<title>usb: hub: Split announce_device() to log device identity before enumeration</title>

announce_device() currently logs the device VID:PID and string
descriptors only after successful enumeration. This means that if
enumeration fails, no identifying information about the device appears
in the kernel log, making it difficult to diagnose failures.

Split announce_device() into announce_device_ids(), which logs the
VID:PID and bcdDevice immediately after the device descriptor is read,
and announce_device_strings(), which logs the product, manufacturer,
and serial number strings after successful enumeration. This ensures
that a device's identity is always visible in the log regardless of
whether enumeration succeeds or fails.

<title>usb: core: Add quirk for 255-bytes initial config read</title>

<id>152f174a13618bec1f842d2deb69245cb2ace51f</id>
<content type='text'>
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.

Add a lock to the function bos_descriptors_read().

This function accesses udev-&gt;bos, which could be simultaneously freed in
usb_reset_and_verify_device(), a function that is commonly called in
drivers all over the kernel.

<title>usb: core: port: Deattach Type-C connector on component unbind</title>

<id>e0b291fe117964037e0ba382eff4bb365d531c3a</id>
<content type='text'>
connector_unbind() is the mirror of connector_bind(), but it is missing
the symmetric call to typec_deattach() that connector_bind() makes via:

    if (port_dev-&gt;child)
        typec_attach(port_dev-&gt;connector, &amp;port_dev-&gt;child-&gt;dev);

When a Thunderbolt dock is unplugged, two teardown paths race:

1. The component framework calls connector_unbind() first, which sets
   port_dev-&gt;connector = NULL without calling typec_deattach().  This
   leaves port-&gt;usb2_dev/port-&gt;usb3_dev in struct typec_port pointing at
   the USB device that is about to be freed.

2. usb_disconnect() then calls typec_deattach(port_dev-&gt;connector, ...),
   but port_dev-&gt;connector is already NULL, so the call is a no-op and
   port-&gt;usb2_dev is never cleared.

3. Concurrently, UCSI detects a PD partner-disconnect event and calls
   typec_unregister_partner(), which reads port-&gt;usb2_dev (now a dangling
   pointer to freed memory) and passes it to typec_partner_unlink_device()
   -&gt; sysfs_remove_link() -&gt; dev_name() on the freed device, corrupting
   the typec/UCSI partner state.

This corruption leaves the Thunderbolt tunnel in an inconsistent state on
the next dock hot-plug.  On affected hardware the dock's I225/igc NIC fails
to enumerate: AER fires a slot reset while the igc driver is still
initialising ("PCIe link lost"), and the subsequent igc_reset attempt hits
igc_rd32 on an already-detached device:

    igc 0000:2e:00.0 eth0: PCIe link lost, device now detached
    igc: Failed to read reg 0x0!
    WARNING: CPU: 9 PID: 129 at drivers/net/ethernet/intel/igc/igc_main.c:7005

     aer_isr+0x4e/0x80
     irq_thread+0xf4/0x1f0

4. UCSI later handles the PD partner-disconnect and calls
   typec_unregister_partner(), which still sees the stale port-&gt;usb2_dev
   and tries to remove its sysfs link a second time:

   kernfs: can not remove 'typec', no directory
   WARNING: CPU: 6 PID: 55 at fs/kernfs/dir.c:1706 kernfs_remove_by_name_ns+0xe9/0xf0

    ret_from_fork_asm+0x1a/0x30

   With worse timing the same stale pointer is dereferenced after the
   backing memory is freed, turning the warning into a use-after-free.

Fix the asymmetry: call typec_deattach() before clearing
port_dev-&gt;connector, matching what connector_bind() does on the bind side.
typec_partner_deattach() is already protected by port-&gt;partner_link_lock,
so it serialises safely with the concurrent typec_unregister_partner() path.

The VIA Labs, Inc. USB 2.0 hub controller (2109:2817),
found in a KVM switch, fails to enumerate high-power devices during
cold boot and system restart.

Applying the kernel parameter
  usbcore.quirks=2109:2817:k
resolves the issue.

Enumeration failure log:
  usb 1-1.2.3: device descriptor read/64, error -32
  usb 1-1.2.3: Device not responding to setup address.
  usb 1-1.2.3: device not accepting address 11, error -71
  usb 1-1.2-port3: unable to enumerate USB device

Add USB_QUIRK_NO_LPM for this device.

<title>USB: quirks: add NO_LPM for the Samsung T5 EVO Portable SSD</title>

The Samsung T5 EVO Portable SSD (04e8:6200) exhibit two forms of
link instability when USB Link Power Management is enabled:

  1. The units fail to initialize properly on first detection,
  resulting in a lockup in the drive where it must be power cycled
  or the kernel will not recognize the presence of the device.

  2. If used for sustained operations (small amounts of continuous
  data are transferred to the unit) then the unit will "hiccup"
  after roughly 8 hours of use and will disconnect and reconnect.
  This has a certain probability of triggering the first issue,
  but also causes mount points to become invalid since the device
  gets issued a new letter.

We need the USB and Thunderbolt fixes in here as well.

&gt;From within the SCSI error handler memory allocations must not
trigger IO. Handling errors in UAS and the storage driver may
involve resetting a device. The thread doing the reset itself
relies on VM magic. However, that is insufficient, as resetting
a device involves resuming it. Resumption as well as resetting
involves conrol transfers to the parent of the device to be reset.
That may be a root hub. Hence usbcore must heed the flags passed
to usb_submit_urb() processing control transfers to root hubs.

The problem exist since the storage driver has been merged.
