Thanks for your explanation. After these days, I've found this issue
only happened on arm 64-bit system, while arm 32-bit system works well.
After more debugging, it looks like arm 64 tagged ABI related issue.
I've update a new patch here:
usb: gadget: f_fs: try to fix AIO issue under ARM 64 bit TAGGED mode
https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/2/23/16.
Thanks.
