This makes me suspect it’s not possible to link a function instance to
the same configuration twice, but now that I think about it, I’m not
quite sure what would happen if one did:

	ln -s functions/mass_storage.0 configs/c.1/foo
	ln -s functions/mass_storage.0 configs/c.1/bar

I think this should be (if it isn’t already) blocked on configfs side.
I cannot see a legitimate use of such configuration and I wouldn’t be
surprised if other function drivers broke as well.


Sorry about late response.

The function responsible for verifying if a symlink can be made is
in drivers/usb/gadget/configfs.c: config_usb_cfg_link()

There is a comment from the author:

	/*
	 * Make sure this function is from within our _this_ gadget and not
	 * from another gadget or a random directory.
	 * Also a function instance can only be linked once.
	 */

This is the code fragment of interest:

	list_for_each_entry(f, &cfg->func_list, list) {
		if (f->fi == fi) {
			ret = -EEXIST;
			goto out;
		}
	}
