Subject: usb: gadget: f_fs: printk error when excess data is dropped on read
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=c662a31be755f5e315945e2c802c335eb8baddb8;p=linux-beck.git

usb: gadget: f_fs: printk error when excess data is dropped on read

Add a pr_err when host sent more data then the size of the buffer user
space gave us.  This may happen on UDCs which require OUT requests to
be aligned to max packet size.  The patch includes a description of the
situation.

+	 * packet size.
+	 *
+	 * Some UDCs (e.g. dwc3) require request sizes to be a multiple of a max
+	 * packet size.  When unaligned buffer is passed to functionfs, it
+	 * internally uses a larger, aligned buffer so that such UDCs are happy.
+	 *
+	 * Unfortunately, this means that host may send more data than was
+	 * requested in read(2) system call.  f_fs doesn’t know what to do with
+	 * that excess data so it simply drops it.
+	 *
+	 * Was the buffer aligned in the first place, no such problem would
+	 * happen.
+	 *
+	 * This only affects OUT endpoints, i.e. reading data with a read(2),
+	 * aio_read(2) etc. system calls.  Writing data to an IN endpoint is not
+	 * affected.
