The gadget may change over bind/unbind cycles, so set it each time during bind, not only the first time. Without it we get a use-after-free with the following example: cd /sys/kernel/config/usb_gadget/; mkdir -p mygadget; cd mygadget mkdir -p configs/c.1/strings/0x409 echo "C1:Composite Device" > configs/c.1/strings/0x409/configuration mkdir -p functions/ecm.usb0 ln -s functions/ecm.usb0 configs/c.1/ rmmod dummy_hcd modprobe dummy_hcd KASAN will complain shortly after the 'modprobe': usb 2-1: New USB device found, idVendor=0000, idProduct=0000, bcdDevice= 6.01 usb 2-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=0, Product=0, SerialNumber=0 ================================================================== BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in gether_connect+0xb8/0x30c Read of size 4 at addr cbef170c by task swapper/3/0 CPU: 3 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/3 Not tainted 6.1.0-rc3-00014-g41ff012f50cb-dirty #322 Hardware name: Freescale i.MX6 Quad/DualLite (Device Tree) unwind_backtrace from show_stack+0x10/0x14 show_stack from dump_stack_lvl+0x58/0x70 dump_stack_lvl from print_report+0x134/0x4d4 print_report from kasan_report+0x78/0x10c kasan_report from gether_connect+0xb8/0x30c gether_connect from ecm_set_alt+0x124/0x254 ecm_set_alt from composite_setup+0xb98/0x2b18 composite_setup from configfs_composite_setup+0x80/0x98 configfs_composite_setup from dummy_timer+0x8f0/0x14a0 [dummy_hcd] ...
