Can't we detect this based on the packet size and either do sg or not? If the UDC hardware says it is supported, it should be supported. Otherwise we need to fix the UDC hardware or it saying it is allowed. > --- a/Documentation/usb/gadget-testing.rst > +++ b/Documentation/usb/gadget-testing.rst > @@ -796,6 +796,10 @@ The uvc function provides these attributes in its function directory: > function_name name of the interface > req_int_skip_div divisor of total requests to aid in calculating > interrupt frequency, 0 indicates all interrupt > + sg_supported allow for scatter gather to be used if the UDC > + hw supports it, this is default on and only > + intended to be temporally turned off if a given > + platform doesn't work well with scatter gather How do you know if it "doesn't work well"? That's vague and not good and nothing we want to support for forever, sorry. thanks, greg k-h
