Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] usb: uas: add US_FL_QDEPTH_075 quirk to cap queue depth at probe time
Date: Thu, 8 Oct 2026 14:26:04 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261008122604.1862534-2-luca.cecchi.info@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261008122604.1862534-1-luca.cecchi.info@gmail.com>
The previous patch in this series ("usb: uas: implement
.change_queue_depth to allow per-device queue depth override") lets
userspace lower a device's queue depth via the standard sysfs
attribute, e.g. through a udev rule matching idVendor/idProduct.
That is not sufficient on its own: relying on udev to act after the
device is already probed and in use leaves a window, right after
probe, during which the device is already live with the unmodified
(and, for some bridges, unsafe) default depth. A lockup can happen in
that window before udev has a chance to write the reduced value.
This adds US_FL_QDEPTH_075, a quirk flag that caps can_queue to 3/4 of
the device's reported maximum directly in uas_probe(), before the
device is ever added to the SCSI layer. This closes the race window
entirely for devices known to need it, while leaving the
.change_queue_depth path available for anyone who wants to tune
further.
Applied to the Lexar ES3 enclosure (21c4:0003) already described in
the previous patch: qdepth=32, so this caps can_queue to 24 - exactly
the value empirically found stable during that investigation (zero
lockups across multiple 360s runs and a 1-hour soak test at that
depth, vs. lockups on every run at the unmodified qdepth-2 default).
