[PATCH v2 2/2] usb: gadget: dummy_hcd: set no_sg_constraint only on the SuperSpeed bus

From: Igor Skalkin

Date: Wed Aug 12 2026 - 04:27:35 EST


dummy_hcd registers two separate root hubs/buses: a HighSpeed one
emulating an EHCI-class controller, and a SuperSpeed one emulating an
xHCI-class controller. usb_submit_urb() rejects SG URBs whose
non-final segments are not a multiple of the endpoint maxpacket size,
unless the bus has no_sg_constraint set.

For SuperSpeed bulk endpoints maxpacket is 1024 bytes; usbtest
generates SG lists with varying segment sizes (e.g. 512 bytes) that
are valid transfers but not maxpacket-aligned, causing usb_submit_urb
to return -EINVAL before the URB reaches the host controller.

xHCI-class controllers have no such DMA alignment requirement, so set
no_sg_constraint on the SS bus to match. Leave the HS bus unchanged:
EHCI-class controllers do have this requirement in hardware, and
dummy_hcd's HS roothub is meant to emulate that behaviour, so the
constraint should stay enforced there.
