With commit69bec72598("USB: core: let USB device know device node"), the port1 argument of usb_alloc_dev() gets overwritten as follows: ... usb_alloc_dev(..., unsigned port1) { ... if (!parent->parent) { port1 = usb_hcd_find_raw_port_number(..., port1); } ... } Later on, this now overwritten port1 gets assigned to ->portnum: dev->portnum = port1; However, since xhci_find_raw_port_number() isn't idempotent, the aforementioned commit causes a number of KASAN splats like the following: BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in xhci_find_raw_port_number+0x98/0x170 at addr ffff8801d9311670 Read of size 8 by task kworker/2:1/87 [...] Workqueue: usb_hub_wq hub_event 0000000000000188 000000005814b877 ffff8800cba17588 ffffffff8191447e 0000000041b58ab3 ffffffff82a03209 ffffffff819143a2 ffffffff82a252f4 ffff8801d93115e0 0000000000000188 ffff8801d9311628 ffff8800cba17588 Call Trace: [<ffffffff8191447e>] dump_stack+0xdc/0x15e [<ffffffff819143a2>] ? _atomic_dec_and_lock+0xa2/0xa2 [<ffffffff814e2cd1>] ? print_section+0x61/0xb0 [<ffffffff814e4939>] print_trailer+0x179/0x2c0 [<ffffffff814f0d84>] object_err+0x34/0x40 [<ffffffff814f4388>] kasan_report_error+0x2f8/0x8b0 [<ffffffff814eb91e>] ? __slab_alloc+0x5e/0x90 [<ffffffff812178c0>] ? __lock_is_held+0x90/0x130 [<ffffffff814f5091>] kasan_report+0x71/0xa0 [<ffffffff814ec082>] ? kmem_cache_alloc_trace+0x212/0x560 [<ffffffff81d99468>] ? xhci_find_raw_port_number+0x98/0x170 [<ffffffff814f33d4>] __asan_load8+0x64/0x70 [<ffffffff81d99468>] xhci_find_raw_port_number+0x98/0x170 [<ffffffff81db0105>] xhci_setup_addressable_virt_dev+0x235/0xa10 [<ffffffff81d9ea51>] xhci_setup_device+0x3c1/0x1430 [<ffffffff8121cddd>] ? trace_hardirqs_on+0xd/0x10 [<ffffffff81d9fac0>] ? xhci_setup_device+0x1430/0x1430 [<ffffffff81d9fad3>] xhci_address_device+0x13/0x20 [<ffffffff81d2081a>] hub_port_init+0x55a/0x1550 [<ffffffff81d28705>] hub_event+0xef5/0x24d0 [<ffffffff81d27810>] ? hub_port_debounce+0x2f0/0x2f0 [<ffffffff8195e1ee>] ? debug_object_deactivate+0x1be/0x270 [<ffffffff81210203>] ? print_rt_rq+0x53/0x2d0 [<ffffffff8121657d>] ? trace_hardirqs_off+0xd/0x10 [<ffffffff8226acfb>] ? _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore+0x5b/0x60 [<ffffffff81250000>] ? irq_domain_set_hwirq_and_chip+0x30/0xb0 [<ffffffff81256339>] ? debug_lockdep_rcu_enabled+0x39/0x40 [<ffffffff812178c0>] ? __lock_is_held+0x90/0x130 [<ffffffff81196877>] process_one_work+0x567/0xec0 [...] Afterwards, xhci reports some functional errors: xhci_hcd 0000:00:14.0: ERROR: unexpected setup address command completion code 0x11. xhci_hcd 0000:00:14.0: ERROR: unexpected setup address command completion code 0x11. usb 4-3: device not accepting address 2, error -22 Fix this by not overwriting the port1 argument in usb_alloc_dev(), but storing the raw port number as required by OF in an additional variable, raw_port.

To understand all the Linux-USB framework, you'll use these resources:
* This source code. This is necessarily an evolving work, and
includes kerneldoc that should help you get a current overview.
("make pdfdocs", and then look at "usb.pdf" for host side and
"gadget.pdf" for peripheral side.) Also, Documentation/usb has
more information.
* The USB 2.0 specification (from www.usb.org), with supplements
such as those for USB OTG and the various device classes.
The USB specification has a good overview chapter, and USB
peripherals conform to the widely known "Chapter 9".
* Chip specifications for USB controllers. Examples include
host controllers (on PCs, servers, and more); peripheral
controllers (in devices with Linux firmware, like printers or
cell phones); and hard-wired peripherals like Ethernet adapters.
* Specifications for other protocols implemented by USB peripheral
functions. Some are vendor-specific; others are vendor-neutral
but just standardized outside of the www.usb.org team.
Here is a list of what each subdirectory here is, and what is contained in
them.
core/ - This is for the core USB host code, including the
usbfs files and the hub class driver ("hub_wq").
host/ - This is for USB host controller drivers. This
includes UHCI, OHCI, EHCI, and others that might
be used with more specialized "embedded" systems.
gadget/ - This is for USB peripheral controller drivers and
the various gadget drivers which talk to them.
Individual USB driver directories. A new driver should be added to the
first subdirectory in the list below that it fits into.
image/ - This is for still image drivers, like scanners or
digital cameras.
../input/ - This is for any driver that uses the input subsystem,
like keyboard, mice, touchscreens, tablets, etc.
../media/ - This is for multimedia drivers, like video cameras,
radios, and any other drivers that talk to the v4l
subsystem.
../net/ - This is for network drivers.
serial/ - This is for USB to serial drivers.
storage/ - This is for USB mass-storage drivers.
class/ - This is for all USB device drivers that do not fit
into any of the above categories, and work for a range
of USB Class specified devices.
misc/ - This is for all USB device drivers that do not fit
into any of the above categories.
