Subject: RPi4 DWC2 gadget doesn't copy data to a buffer in ep0 SETUP + DATA
 OUT transaction

Hi Minas and other USB experts,

I'm currently developing new features for UAC1/UAC2 audio gadgets
like Volume/Mute controls which use Control SETUP + DATA OUT
transactions through ep0.

While it works fine on BeagleBone black board with MUSB UDC,
on Raspberry Pi 4 with DWC2 UDC there is an issue.

I found that when DWC2 receives ep0 SETUP + DATA OUT transaction,
it doesn't copy data transferred from the host to EP0 in DATA OUT stage
to the usb_request->buf buffer. This buffer contains unchanged data from
previous transactions.

However, when I disable DMA for DWC2 controller (see the patch below)
it starts to work as expected and correctly copies data transferred from
the host in the DATA OUT stage, to the usb_request->buf buffer.

So far I tested it on v5.9 kernel and v5.10.10 stable kernel both have
the same issue.

This issue is easily reproducible with RNDIS gadget which also
uses ep0 SETUP + DATA OUT transactions for transferring
RNDIS control messages.

During enumeration of RNDIS gadget attached to Linux host,
I see next messages for RPi4 DWC2 with DMA enabled:

| ## RPi4 DWC2 DMA
| [   91.029881] rndis_msg_parser: unknown RNDIS message 0x0052033A len 4456526
| [   91.029889] RNDIS command error -524, 24/24

In this case rndis_msg_parser can't parse messages from the host
because they are sent through SETUP + DATA OUT transaction and
DWC2 didn't copy that messages to the buffer, so buffer contains
some garbage from previous transactions which can't be parsed.

In case of BBB black or DWC2 with disabled DMA, it looks like:

| ## BBB black
| [   32.867751] rndis_msg_parser: RNDIS_MSG_INIT

| ## RPi4 DWC2 no DMA
| [  151.080724] rndis_msg_parser: RNDIS_MSG_INIT

I also did a quick googling and found that same issue was
recently reported for Raspberry pi OS:
https://github.com/raspberrypi/Raspberry-Pi-OS-64bit/issues/127

I spent some time on debugging this issue, but without having
DWC2 documentation and experience with DWC2 internals
that's all that I found so far.

Is this a known issue? Anybody debugging it? Any ideas?

Thanks,
Ruslan

Subject: [PATCH] usb: dwc2: workaround: disable DMA for gadget

On Raspberry PI 4 it was observer that in case of control
transfers with DATA phase from a host, the driver for some
reason doesn't copy transferred data to the buffer, leaving
previous data in it.

With disabled DMA the issue isn't reproducible, thus
temporarily disable it
