Subject: [RFC] usb: gadget: f_fs: stop sleeping in ffs_func_eps_disable
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
ffs_func_eps_disable is called from atomic context so it cannot sleep
thus cannot grab a mutex. Change the handling of epfile->read_buffer
to use non-sleeping synchronisation method.
Reported-by: Chen Yu <chenyu56@...wei.com>
Signed-off-by: Michał Nazarewicz <mina86@...a86.com>
Fixes: 9353afbbfa7b ("buffer data from ‘oversized’ OUT requests")

Note: This has not been tested in *any* way. It’s more to demonstrate
the concept even though it is likely that it does actually work.
