If the data length returned by the device is 0, the read operation
should be considered a failure.

Close, but not quite there.  ath6kl_usb_submit_ctrl_in() needs to verify
that the actual amount of data was read that was asked for.  If a short
read happens (or a long one), then an error needs to propagate out, not
just 0.  See the "note:" line in that function for what needs to be
properly checked.

hope this helps,

Thanks for your analysis.

First off, this should be using usb_control_msg_send() instead of having
to roll their own buffer handling, right?

If you switch to usb_control_msg_send() this logic gets a lot simpler.
Perhaps do that instead?

If not, then you need to check for "short writes" or zero writes, see
the documentation for usb_control_msg() for what it returns.  Your
comment is not correct here, there are 3 different return "states" that
you need to handle.

And why are you caring about what the req type is?

I couldn't figure it out with what you said. 

ath6kl_usb_submit_ctrl_in() is similar to usb_control_msg_send(),
both calling usb_control_msg() to communicate with USB devices.

In the current issue, when executing an ATH6KL_USB_CONTROL_REQ_RECV_BMI_RESP
read request, the length of the data returned from the device is 0, which
is different from the expected length of the data to be read, resulting in
a warning.

ath6kl_usb_submit_ctrl_in()--->
	usb_control_msg()--->
		usb_internal_control_msg()

usb_internal_control_msg() will return the length of the data returned from
the device, usb_control_msg() return the length too, so in ath6kl_usb_submit_ctrl_in(),
we can filter out incorrect data lengths by judging the value of ret, such
as ret != Size situation.

Meaning this kfree() should not be needed if you use
usb_control_msg_send() (nor the allocation above it.)

Yes, it's close, but not quite the same.

Then just do that type of check for that type of read request in the
code that does that call, not 2-3 layers deeper, no need for making this
more complex than needed.

Try removing both of these functions and just call usb functions
directly.

I researched usb_control_msg_recv(), It handles the abnormal length of the
returned data, so using it directly can fix this warning.
