When we call printer_read(), the following call tree is triggered: printer_read() | +---setup_rx_reqs(req) | | | +---usb_ep_queue(req) | | | | | +---... | | | | | +---rx_complete(req). | | | +---add the req to dev->rx_reqs_active | +---while(!list_empty(&dev->rx_buffers))) The route happens when we don't use DMA or fail to start DMA in USB driver. We can see: in the case, in rx_complete() it will add the req to dev->rx_buffers. meanwhile we see that we will also add the req to dev->rx_reqs_active after usb_ep_queue() return, so this adding will break the dev->rx_buffers out. After, when we call list_empty() to check dev->rx_buffers in while(), due to can't check correctly dev->rx_buffers, so the Segmentation fault occurs when copy_to_user() is called.
