I'm ignoring most of what you asked Oliver to focus on just one thing: On Wed, Jul 17, 2024 at 09:43:38AM +0800, Hongyu Xie wrote: > Even before usbfs->reset_resume is called (if there is one), the USB device > has already been reset and in a good state. You are wrong to think that being reset means the device is in a good state. The userspace driver may have very carefully put the device into some non-default state with special settings. All those settings will be lost when the device gets reset, and they will have to be reloaded before the device can function properly. But the userspace driver won't even know this has happened unless the kernel tells it somehow. Oliver is pointing out that the kernel has to tell the userspace driver that all the settings have been lost, so the driver will know it needs to load them back into the device. Currently we have no way to send this information to the driver. That's why usbfs doesn't have a reset_resume callback now. Alan Stern
