[PATCH v2 0/2] usb: dwc3: Fix TRB reclaim regression and clean up reclaim logic

[Johannes Schneider]

Hoi,

This patch series fixes a subtle regression introduced in the recent
scatter-gather cleanup for the DWC3 USB gadget driver, and follows up
with two clean-up patches to simplify and clarify related logic.

Background:

Commit 61440628a4ff ("usb: dwc3: gadget: Cleanup SG handling") removed
some redundant state tracking in the DWC3 gadget driver, including how
scatter-gather TRBs are reclaimed after use. However, the reclaim logic
began relying on the TRB CHN (chain) bit to determine whether TRBs
belonged to a chain — which led to missed TRB reclamation in some
cases.

This broke userspace-facing protocols like MTP (Media Transfer Protocol)
when used via FunctionFS, causing incomplete transfers due to skipped
zero-length packets (ZLPs) or improperly reclaimed short TRBs.

The "offending" chunk from 61440628a4ff:
80                 ret = dwc3_gadget_ep_reclaim_completed_trb(dep, req,
81 -                               trb, event, status, true);
82 +                               trb, event, status,
83 +                               !!(trb->ctrl & DWC3_TRB_CTRL_CHN));

Patch 1 fixes the issue by ensuring the HWO bit is always cleared
on reclaimed TRBs, regardless of the CHN bit.

Patches 2 and 3 follow up with simplifications:
- Patch 2 removes the now-redundant `chain` argument to the reclaim function
- Patch 3 simplifies the logic in `dwc3_needs_extra_trb()` to make the conditions easier to read and maintain

All three patches have been tested on a imx8mp based hardware, with
userspace MTP (viveris/uMTP-Responder) over FunctionFS and resolve the
regression while preserving the recent cleanup work.

[PATCH v2 1/2] usb: dwc3: gadget: Fix TRB reclaim logic for short transfers and ZLPs

[Johannes Schneider]

Commit 61440628a4ff ("usb: dwc3: gadget: Cleanup SG handling") updated
the TRB reclaim path to use the TRB CHN (Chain) bit to determine whether
a TRB was part of a chain. However, this inadvertently changed the
behavior of reclaiming the final TRB in some scatter-gather or short
transfer cases.

In particular, if the final TRB did not have the CHN bit set, the
cleanup path could incorrectly skip clearing the HWO (Hardware Own)
bit, leaving stale TRBs in the ring. This resulted in broken data
transfer completions in userspace, notably for MTP over FunctionFS.

Fix this by unconditionally clearing the HWO bit during TRB reclaim,
regardless of the CHN bit state. This restores correct behavior
especially for transfers that require ZLPs or end on non-CHN TRBs.

[PATCH v2 2/2] usb: dwc3: gadget: Simplify TRB reclaim logic by removing redundant 'chain' argument

[Johannes Schneider]

Now that the TRB reclaim logic always inspects the TRB's CHN (Chain) bit
directly to determine whether a TRB is part of a chain, the explicit
'chain' parameter passed into dwc3_gadget_ep_reclaim_completed_trb()
is no longer necessary.

This cleanup simplifies the reclaim code by avoiding duplication of
chain state tracking, and makes the reclaim logic rely entirely on the
hardware descriptor flags — which are already present and accurate at
this stage.

No functional changes intended.
