This issue was found when adbd trying to open functionfs with AIO mode. Usually, we need to set "setprop sys.usb.ffs.aio_compat 0" to enable adbd with AIO mode on Android. When adbd is opening functionfs, it will try to read 24 bytes at the fisrt read I/O control. If this reading has been failed, adbd will try to send FUNCTIONFS_CLEAR_HALT to functionfs. When adbd is in AIO mode, functionfs will be acted with asyncronized I/O path. After the successful read transfer has been completed by gadget hardware, the following series of functions will be called. ffs_epfile_async_io_complete() -> ffs_user_copy_worker() -> copy_to_iter() -> _copy_to_iter() -> copyout() -> iterate_and_advance() -> iterate_iovec() Adding debug trace to these functions, it has been found that in iterate_iovec(), the calculation result of n will be turned into zero. n = wanted - n; /* 0 == n = 24 - 24; */ Which causes copyout() won't copy data to userspace since the length to be copied "v.iov_len" will be zero, which isn't correct. This also leads ffs_copy_to_iter() always return -EFAULT. Finally adbd cannot open functionfs and send FUNCTIONFS_CLEAR_HALT.
