I notice that neither He's patch, nor a dwc3 change to prevent it from
scheduling inside usb_ep_dequeue are in Linus' master. Please correct
me if I missed something.

Just in case my previous emails were not clear:
- I have no objection to He's patch on its own (and I do not know the
  code nearly enough to provide a meaningful reviewed-by).
- I do not intend to work on making changes to dwc3 gadget to stop it
  from scheduling in usb_ep_dequeue in the foreseeable future.

So if there is no ongoing work on dwc3 cancel behaviour (Felipe ?),
please do resume/carry on with reviewing and integrating He's patch.

It is only *if* dwc3 cancel stops scheduling that I believe my patch
should be reverted (here is the hash as of Linus' master):

      usb: gadget: ffs: Fix BUG when userland exits with submitted AIO transfers

      This bug happens only when the UDC needs to sleep during usb_ep_dequeue,
      as is the case for (at least) dwc3.
and, in my understanding, a consequence is that He's fix would not
be needed anymore - the bug my patch introduced disappearing in the
revert.
