Skip submitting URBs, when identical requests were already sent in tweak_special_requests(). Instead call the completion handler directly to return the result of the URB. Even though submitting those requests twice should be harmless, there are USB devices that react poorly to some duplicated requests. One example is the ChipIdea controller implementation in U-Boot: The second SET_CONFIURATION request makes U-Boot disable and re-enable all endpoints. Re-enabling an endpoint in the ChipIdea controller, however, was broken until U-Boot commit b272c8792502 ("usb: ci: Fix gadget reinit"). Signed-off-by: Simon Holesch <simon@xxxxxxxxxx> Acked-by: Shuah Khan <skhan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- I tested this patch by building only the usbip-host module and loading it with the running Kernel. To build I had to revert 6309727ef271 ("kthread: add kthread_stop_put"), which moves the kthread_stop_put() away from usbip. $ uname -r 6.6.5-arch1-1 $ make -C "/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build" M="$PWD/drivers/usb/usbip" usbip-host.ko $ sudo rmmod usbip-host $ sudo insmod drivers/usb/usbip/usbip-host.ko The first test was with my laptop camera. I attached the device while using usbmon to capture the packages. sudo usbip bind -b 3-7 sudo usbip attach -r localhost -b 3-7 Without the patch you can see the duplicated requests while attaching: $ tshark -i usbmon3 -Y "usb.device_address == $(cat /sys/bus/usb/devices/3-7/devnum) && usb.setup.bRequest in {9,11}" Capturing on 'usbmon3' 77 3.903685 host → 3.11.0 USB 64 SET CONFIGURATION Request 79 3.904687 host → 3.11.0 USB 64 SET CONFIGURATION Request 113 4.068943 host → 3.11.0 USB 64 SET INTERFACE Request 115 4.069126 host → 3.11.0 USB 64 SET INTERFACE Request 4 packets captured With the patch the duplicate requests are no longer sent: $ tshark -i usbmon3 -Y "usb.device_address == $(cat /sys/bus/usb/devices/3-7/devnum) && usb.setup.bRequest in {9,11}" Capturing on 'usbmon3' 79 4.368262 host → 3.12.0 USB 64 SET CONFIGURATION Request 113 4.529754 host → 3.12.0 USB 64 SET INTERFACE Request 2 packets captured To double check, that I didn't break something, I opened the video stream of the camera and it still works. The second test was with the embedded development board, with which I originally saw the problem (a board with the i.MX 6ULZ SoC). It's connected to a host with Ubuntu 20.04. To test the patch there (and also to use it later), I created a usbip-backports project[1], that can build the USB/IP modules on older Kernels. Once the backported usbip-host module was loaded, I could successfully flash the board over USB/IP.
