Right, altsettings. I forgot about those. I only ever think in terms of multiple configurations. *grumble* If usb_set_interface() has to be smart enough to remove existing files first already, then I guess it's reasonably symmetric to have usb_set_configuration() have the same smarts.

Hence there's no problem in that scenario. But usb_set_configuration doesn't expect there to be any pre-existing interface files, because there isn't even an interface until the registration is performed. > Heck, why do both call usb_create_sysfs_intf_file()? I would guess if > you're *changing* the active configuration you would need to do that, but > why in usb_set_interface() at all? For a couple of reasons. The "interface" attribute file contains the iInterface string descriptor, and that file is present only if such a descriptor exists. Since different altsettings might not agree on whether or not iInterface exists, the attribute has to be created anew for each altsetting. (Yes, we could let the file always be present and just be blank if there is no descriptor.) The most important reason has to do with the endpoint pseudo-devices. Different altsettings can have different endpoints, so those have to be removed and re-created whenever the altsetting changes.

I haven't looked at this code at all, but neither approach feels right to me. How does this work at all? Even if you load a driver later, wouldn't it call usb_set_interface(), which would call usb_create_sysfs_intf_files() and hit the same issue? Heck, why do both call usb_create_sysfs_intf_file()? I would guess if you're *changing* the active configuration you would need to do that, but why in usb_set_interface() at all?

In usb_set_configuration(), each new interfaces is registered and then usb_create_sysfs_intf_files() gets called for that interface. This makes sense, because obviously we can't create sysfs files for an interface before it is registered. The problem is that during registration drivers get probed, and drivers sometimes call usb_set_interface() from their probe method. This routine also calls usb_create_sysfs_intf_files(), and the result is that the sysfs files get created twice: First by usb_set_interface, from the driver probe; Then by usb_set_configuration, when registration is finished. I can think of two possible ways around the problem. One is to add a bit to the usb_interface structure, recording whether the sysfs files have been created. The other is always to remove the files just before trying to create them. The first seems more workable, although it is slightly awkward. Greg, what do you think?

I have tried several times to duplicate this, most recently under 2.6.23-mm1. But nothing goes wrong; the error messages don't appear. You may have to do your own debugging. Try adding printk statements to usb_create_sysfs_intf_files() and usb_remove_sysfs_intf_files() so you can tell when they get called.
