VirtualBox EHCI-controller doesn’t return host URB result when input length buffer is less than 0x4000 bytes

[lo1ol]

Hello!

I have noticed some problems with USB 2.0 devices under VirtualBox (Beta 6.1.97 is also affected). Firstly, I’ve noticed problems with my smart card USB 2.0 reader. According to a log, each operation of reading data with input buffer more than 16*1024 bytes fails by timeout

opensc-tool --send-apdu “80:40:00:00
lo1ol@lo1ol-VirtualBox:~/Desktop$ opensc-tool --send-apdu "80:40:00:00:00"
Using reader with a card: Aktiv Rutoken ECP 00 00

As you can see, the VM’s usbmon log has status=-2, but host log is not.

Also, I noticed that the input buffer length was changed. So I decided to reduce the maximal used input ccid buffer length to 0x4000(16384). This workaround helps me to resolve the problem.

So I tried to reproduce the problem via a usb 2.0 flash drive and wrote the following test program, which is affected by the same bug. sources: main.c

Compilation:

gcc main.c -lusb-1.0

Before run: Unmount/eject flash drive Unload uas and usb-storage modules: `bash sudo modprobe -r uas usb-storage ` Get idVend and idProd of device via lsusb You can also specify Bulk Endpoint addresses of your flash (you can get it via lsusb -v $idVend:$idProd). Defaults are 0x02 and 0x81

To run:

sudo LIBUSB_DEBUG=4 ./a.out {idVend} {idProd} [{epOut} {epIn}]

My usbmon output was the same as for the smart card bug:

ffff96d8e0037a80 676937289 S Bo:1:006:2 -115 31 = 55534243 01000000 24000000 80000612 00000024 00000000 00000000 000000

I think there is some problem with your EHCI-controller driver implementation. May you reproduce the bug by yourself, confirm and fix it?

Waiting for your response! Thanks!
