Hi,

Some UDC drivers (like the DWC3) expect that the response to a setup()

not some, but *all*. You can only queue a response later IFF you return USB_GADGET_DELAYED_STATUS.

request is queued from within the setup function itself so that it is available as soon as setup() has completed.

Upon receiving a setup request the function fs driver creates an event that is made available to userspace. And only once userspace has acknowledged that event the response to the setup request is queued.

So it violates the requirement of those UDC drivers and random failures can be observed. This is basically a race condition and if userspace is able to read the event and queue the response fast enough all is good. But if it is not, for example because other processes are currently scheduled to run, the USB host that sent the setup request will observe an error.

To avoid this the gadget framework provides the USB_GADGET_DELAYED_STATUS return code. If a setup() callback returns this value the UDC driver is aware that response is not yet available and can uses the appropriate methods to handle this case.

Since in the case of function fs the response will never be available when the setup() function returns make sure that this status code is used.

This fixed random occasional failures that were previously observed on a DWC3 based system under high system load.

I need to see tracepoint capture from the failure ;-) Care to send them to me for analysis?
