Prior to this commit, the USB-IP subsystem's USB device driver match
function used to match all USB devices (by returning true

likely the root cause of the bug reported by Andrey Konovalov.

USB-IP should only match USB devices that the user-space asked the kernel
to handle via USB-IP, by writing to the match_busid sysfs file, which is
what this commit aims to achieve. This is done by making the match
function check that the passed in USB device was indeed requested by the
user-space to be handled by USB-IP.

Did you happen to run the usbip test on this patch? If not, can you
please run tools/testing/selftests/drivers/usb/usbip/usbip_test.sh
and make sure there are no regressions.

Ah, this is a very good point! I have been testing the patches on Qubes OS,
which uses usbip to forward USB devices between VMs. To be honest, I was not
aware of the self-tests for usbip, and I will run the self-tests prior to
publishing the next version of the patch series.

Hello Shuah,

I have just cleaned up the patches and run usbip_test.sh with a kernel without
the patches in this series and with a kernel in this series.

I noticed that there is a change in behaviour due to the fact that the new
match function (usbip_match) does not always return true. This causes the
stub device driver's probe() function to not get called at all, as the new
more selective match function will prevent the stub device driver from being
considered as a potential driver for the device under consideration.

All of this results in the following difference in the logs of the usbip_test.sh,
where the expected kernel log message "usbip-host 2-6: 2-6 is not in match_busid table... skip!"
is not printed by a kernel that includes the patches in this series.

Do you find this change in behaviour unacceptable? If no, I can remove this
test case from usbip_test.sh with the same patch. If yes, then there is a need
for a different solution to resolve the unexpected negative interaction between
Bastien's work on generic/specific USB device driver selection and usbip
functionality.

Thank you,

Vefa
