Link TRBs are only valid on USB buffer boundaries. There is also the limitation that each TRB buffer can't cross a 64k boundary. Both require the TRB list be constructed very carefully. (Having read the spec very carefully first.) Possibly requiring backtracking (even aborting the URB itself) since it is hard to work out beforehand how many TRB are needed. If a link TRB would cross a USB packet boundary you could go back to the previous boundary, cut the buffer and add the link TRB there. Using 8 bytes of immediate data (instead of a pointer) in the TRB may be a way out of the worst case scenario - it allows almost 2k of data in 256 TRBs.
