Prior to this commit, the USB-IP subsystem's USB device driver match
function used to match all USB devices (by returning true
unconditionally). Unfortunately, this is not correct behaviour and is
likely the root cause of the bug reported by Andrey Konovalov.

USB-IP should only match USB devices that the user-space asked the kernel
to handle via USB-IP, by writing to the match_busid sysfs file, which is
what this commit aims to achieve. This is done by making the match
function check that the passed in USB device was indeed requested by the
user-space to be handled by USB-IP.

I see two patches 2/2 and 3/3 back to back. What is the difference
between 2/2 and 3/3 versions? They look identical. Please include
changes if any from version to version to make it easier for me to
review.

Did you happen to run the usbip test on this patch? If not, can you
please run tools/testing/selftests/drivers/usb/usbip/usbip_test.sh
and make sure there are no regressions.

Hello Shuah,

Sorry for the delayed reply, and thank you for your interest! I realize
that I did not add notes to the patch series regarding the changes between
v1 and v2, and I forgot to label the second patch series as v2.

Patches 2/2 and 3/3 are the same, as you have mentioned. I was addressing
Bastien's code review comments for patch 1/2, and I split that patch into
two separate patches, which is why the second patch series had 3 patches
as opposed to 2.

I realize that you are missing the context; here is a link to the thread:
   https://lore.kernel.org/linux-usb/359d080c-5cbb-250a-0ebd-aaba5f5c530d@runbox.com/T/

I can copy all patches to you as well, if you would be interested.

All this to say, I am sorry about this small mess, and I will rectify this
with patches I publish in the future.

Ah, this is a very good point! I have been testing the patches on Qubes OS,
which uses usbip to forward USB devices between VMs. To be honest, I was not
aware of the self-tests for usbip, and I will run the self-tests prior to
publishing the next version of the patch series.

Hello Shuah,

I have just cleaned up the patches and run usbip_test.sh with a kernel without
the patches in this series and with a kernel in this series.

I noticed that there is a change in behaviour due to the fact that the new
match function (usbip_match) does not always return true. This causes the
stub device driver's probe() function to not get called at all, as the new
more selective match function will prevent the stub device driver from being
considered as a potential driver for the device under consideration.

All of this results in the following difference in the logs of the usbip_test.sh,
where the expected kernel log message "usbip-host 2-6: 2-6 is not in match_busid table... skip!"
is not printed by a kernel that includes the patches in this series.

Do you find this change in behaviour unacceptable? If no, I can remove this
test case from usbip_test.sh with the same patch. If yes, then there is a need
for a different solution to resolve the unexpected negative interaction between
Bastien's work on generic/specific USB device driver selection and usbip
functionality.

Thank you,

Yes. This is the behavior I am concerned about and hence the reason
to use the usbip test to verify this doesn't happen.

With the patch you have the usbip match behavior becomes restrictive
which isn't desirable.

I would recommend finding a different solution. Now that you have the
usbip test handy, you can verify and test for regressions.

Thanks for the feedback, Shuah. I spent some time looking at and instrumenting
the code in an attempt to find another solution, but have not found one.

If the generic/specific USB driver selection functionality that Bastien Nocera
introduced is desired to stay in the kernel, then making usbip_match more
specific appears to be the only option for usbip to be functional without
negatively affecting other device drivers.

Should Bastien's work be reverted until a solution to this issue is found?
Would you (or anyone) have any suggestions? I would be happy to work further
on resolving this issue.

I am including a summary of my findings below my signature.

Thank you,

Vefa

=== === ===

(1) If usbip_match stays as is, then the issue reported by Andrey Konovalov at

       https://lore.kernel.org/linux-usb/CAAeHK+zOrHnxjRFs=OE8T=O9208B9HP_oo8RZpyVOZ9AJ54pAA@mail.gmail.com/

     will remain unresolved and will trickle down to Linux 5.9 due to the following
     commit's interaction with the return-true usbip_match function:

       USB: Simplify USB ID table match
       https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?h=master&id=0ed9498f9ecfde50c93f3f3dd64b4cd5414d9944

     This commit was mis-classified as a simplification rather than a bug-fix
     and was not backported to linux-5.8.y. (I can explain my reasoning if beneficial.)
     After cherry-picking this commit onto 5.8.10, I can reproduce Andrey's issue
     with Andrey's "keyboard" program at: https://github.com/xairy/raw-gadget.git

(2) If the following patches are also included in the kernel to fix two bugs in the
     USB driver selection logic, then a return-true usbip_match function will cause
     usbip's stub driver to be selected as the more specific device driver for all
     USB devices when the usbip_host module is loaded. (This makes all USB devices
     unavailable on my system, until I unload usbip_host and reload {x,e}hci-pci
     modules.)

     which was because I had forgotten to cherry pick 0ed9498f9e ("USB: Simplify
     USB ID table match"; i.e., the commit discussed in the previous bullet point)
     onto my v5.8.10-based test kernel.

Hello again,

Status update: I found a solution that should be more acceptable. It involves
some changes to the generic/specialized driver selection code and the removal
of usbip_match altogether, while preserving proper behaviour of the usbip driver,
apple-mfi-fastcharge and dummy_hcd. I intend to publish a new patch set by
tomorrow.
