Fixes issue where memory will fail to be allocated for larger bulk transfers, ~1 MB or more. This occurs because userland libraries, such as libusb, send the entire USB data buffer when SG support is detected. The assumption is that the driver knows how to properly split the data up before sending it out. By hardcoding a limit, bigger transfers that exceed the SG tablesize limit of 32 will be unable to use SG. This results in an attempt to allocate contiguous pages which, unsurprisingly, will fail too and returns an ENOMEM. It looks like other drivers that support SG allow for any length of SG lists. Accepting any SG size allows the driver to properly handle large bulk transfer situations. Tested bulk read and write operations using the following devices: - Logitech Webcam Pro 9000 - USB 2.0 - SanDisk Ultra - USB 3.0 - Logitech M500s Mouse Signed-off-by: Jason Long <jasonlongball@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Shuah Khan <skhan@linuxfoundation.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20241218161344.202637-1-jasonlongball@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
