This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled r8152: Choose our USB config with choose_configuration() rather than probe() to the 5.15-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: r8152-choose-our-usb-config-with-choose_configuratio.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.15 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 7cb0bcacfbbda3487ecaa7bdd6b625f08ee63528 Author: Douglas Anderson <dianders@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri Dec 1 10:29:52 2023 -0800 r8152: Choose our USB config with choose_configuration() rather than probe() [ Upstream commit aa4f2b3e418e8673e55145de8b8016a7a9920306 ] If you deauthorize the r8152 device (by writing 0 to the "authorized" field in sysfs) and then reauthorize it (by writing a 1) then it no longer works. This is because when you do the above we lose the special configuration that we set in rtl8152_cfgselector_probe(). Deauthorizing causes the config to be set to -1 and then reauthorizing runs the default logic for choosing the best config. I made an attempt to fix it so that the config is kept across deauthorizing / reauthorizing [1] but it was a bit ugly. Let's instead use the new USB core feature to override choose_configuration(). This patch relies upon the patches ("usb: core: Don't force USB generic_subclass drivers to define probe()") and ("usb: core: Allow subclassed USB drivers to override usb_choose_configuration()") [1] https://lore.kernel.org/r/20231130154337.1.Ie00e07f07f87149c9ce0b27ae4e26991d307e14b@changeid Fixes: ec51fbd1b8a2 ("r8152: add USB device driver for config selection") Suggested-by: Alan Stern <stern@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Douglas Anderson <dianders@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Reviewed-by: Grant Grundler <grundler@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20231201102946.v2.3.Ie00e07f07f87149c9ce0b27ae4e26991d307e14b@changeid Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sashal@xxxxxxxxxx> diff --git a/drivers/net/usb/r8152.c b/drivers/net/usb/r8152.c index e8fd743a1509..85b98fd06ba2 100644 --- a/drivers/net/usb/r8152.c +++ b/drivers/net/usb/r8152.c @@ -9872,7 +9872,7 @@ static struct usb_driver rtl8152_driver = { .disable_hub_initiated_lpm = 1, }; -static int rtl8152_cfgselector_probe(struct usb_device *udev) +static int rtl8152_cfgselector_choose_configuration(struct usb_device *udev) { struct usb_host_config *c; int i, num_configs; @@ -9899,19 +9899,13 @@ static int rtl8152_cfgselector_probe(struct usb_device *udev) if (i == num_configs) return -ENODEV; - if (usb_set_configuration(udev, c->desc.bConfigurationValue)) { - dev_err(&udev->dev, "Failed to set configuration %d\n", - c->desc.bConfigurationValue); - return -ENODEV; - } - - return 0; + return c->desc.bConfigurationValue; } static struct usb_device_driver rtl8152_cfgselector_driver = { - .name = MODULENAME "-cfgselector", - .probe = rtl8152_cfgselector_probe, - .id_table = rtl8152_table, + .name = MODULENAME "-cfgselector", + .choose_configuration = rtl8152_cfgselector_choose_configuration, + .id_table = rtl8152_table, .generic_subclass = 1, .supports_autosuspend = 1, };
