msc host: complete and fence a command whose stage fails to submit - #4009
In msch_xfer_cb(), every stage submission (command → data, data → data, command/data → status) was a TU_ASSERT.
When usbh_edpt_xfer() fails, usbh ignores the return and leaves nothing pending, so complete_cb never runs and the
caller waits forever. The device is then left mid-command: if the host sends another CBW, the device can read it as
data, and after a failed WRITE10 it writes the CBW into the sectors. CodeRabbit raised it on #3968.
Solution
A failed stage submission completes the command at once with a synthesized CSW: PHASE_ERROR, the CBW's tag, and
residue = bytes not transferred.
The interface is then fenced: tuh_msc_scsi_command() and tuh_msc_ready() refuse it. The flag is set before complete_cb, so a callback that re-issues a command is refused too.
New tuh_msc_reset(daddr, cb, arg) lifts the fence without re-enumeration, by BOT Reset Recovery (BOT 1.0 §5.3.4):
Bulk-Only Mass Storage Reset, then CLEAR_FEATURE(ENDPOINT_HALT) on Bulk-In and Bulk-Out, each followed by a
host-side toggle reset to DATA0 (USB 2.0 §9.4.5). It runs asynchronously on an idle mounted interface, fenced or
not. Only full success lifts the fence; any failure, unplug, or stale completion after re-enumeration leaves it
fenced. The failed command is never retried.
The toggle reset goes through a new internal usbh_edpt_clear_stall() → hcd_edpt_clear_stall(), which nothing
called before. The ports that could not do it safely now return false:
rp2040: it panicked.
pio-usb: a no-op true.
WCH USBFS: it sent its own blocking CLEAR_FEATURE. That code is kept for its internal STALL path.
RUSB2: it looked up the wrong pipe.
OHCI: refuses an ED that is not halted, per OHCI §4.2.3.
Enumeration also ends the interface's configuration when any enumeration command fails, ignores a Get Max LUN
queued by an earlier open, and refuses a hub address beyond the per-device arrays.
Validation
Unit tests (test_msc_host 40, test_usbh_config_complete 9) cover every failure step, the fence, callback
reentrancy, rejection cases and stale completions. Eleven mutants of the recovery code are all caught.

Walkthrough
The MSC host now fences interfaces after specified command-stage submission failures and provides asynchronous BOT reset recovery. Enumeration reports configuration completion on specified failure paths and ignores stale completions associated with earlier interface instances. The USB host adds endpoint halt-clearing validation and marks devices as removing before tree teardown. HCD behavior and unit tests were updated for these changes.

Merge Risk: Minimal · up to 18388
The earlier concerns about unmount-callback reentrancy during MSC reset recovery and command admission racing a failed recovery appear fixed in the current code and are covered by unit tests. No outstanding merge-blocking issues were found. Hardware testing of Reset Recovery is still pending.
Security architecture risk: Moderate · up to 07c4b
A failed transfer is now completed and fenced, reducing the risk of sending another command to an out-of-sync device. There is a conditional gap in the separate enumeration-failure path: the host can report the USB device as mounted while the MSC interface remains unmounted but still accepts raw SCSI commands.
Retained concerns
Medium · security · inferred: Enumeration abort can advertise a generically mounted USB device while leaving its failed MSC interface configured and eligible for raw SCSI submission. A caller using the generic mount event and raw API can therefore send commands despite MSC initialization having failed.
Security review details
Security Blast Radius
inferred — The demonstrated boundary is the affected USB device’s MSC interface and its host-visible mount state; the supplied evidence does not establish an application that sends raw commands after this failure.
Security Findings and Attack Paths
inferred — A USB MSC device can report a failed Read Capacity status. The new abort path can then finish device-level enumeration; if a trusted caller responds to the generic mount event by using the raw SCSI API, the configured-but-unmounted interface can still submit a CBW. Application use of that sequence was not verified.
Trust Boundaries and Controls
observed — The desync fence is set before the failed command’s callback, so callback retries are rejected. Readiness and high-level read/write operations also reject an unmounted interface; those controls do not impose a mounted requirement on raw SCSI submission after enumeration abort.
Resilience and Maintainability Implications
inferred — The command-failure fence addresses the risk of a subsequent CBW being received as data by an out-of-sync device. Enumeration failure follows a different lifecycle: completing host configuration does not itself revoke raw-command eligibility.
Hardening Proposals
proposed — Make failed MSC enumeration an explicit ineligible state for external raw commands while preserving the commands needed during enumeration, and distinguish interface failure from device-level configuration success for consumers.

The changeset adds a synthesized PHASE_ERROR CSW, the fence in tuh_msc_scsi_command() and tuh_msc_ready(), and the new tuh_msc_reset() recovery. The title is specific and matches the objectives. It omits the reset API, which is acceptable because it is a secondary part of the change.

Summary
The PR completes MSC commands when a later stage cannot be submitted, blocks further commands, and adds asynchronous Reset Recovery.
Failed MSC stages complete their command and block new commands.
An idle MSC interface can run reset recovery without re-enumerating.
MSC enumeration ends cleanly when a setup command fails.
USB removal callbacks see the whole unplugged device tree as disconnected.

Public header and docs (msc_host.h, docs/reference/class/msc.rst) do not describe the new permanent-refusal behaviour or the host-built PHASE_ERROR CSW after a stage fails to submit.
msch_set_config returns false after it has already reported completion via config_abort, unlike cdch_set_config; harmless today because usbh ignores the value.
The unit tests have coverage gaps (Get Max LUN setup packet unchecked, NULL-callback path no longer reached, discarded return values) and minor style and fragility issues in test_msc_host.c.

src/class/msc/msc_host.h:55: low: The public header and docs do not describe the desync behaviour.
Once desynced, tuh_msc_scsi_command and its wrappers return false and tuh_msc_ready stays false until msch_close (msc_host.c:156, :340); the callback gets a host-built PHASE_ERROR CSW (:383-392).
Fix: update msc_host.h and msc.rst.
Update: the docs, msch_set_config's return value, the NULL-callback test and the return-value asserts are addressed in edff542. The stm32f723disco HIL failure also fails on master.

nit: The Get Max LUN test never checks the request's setup packet.
test/unit-test/test/host/msc/test_msc_host.c:44-47: the tuh_control_xfer stub stores only complete_cb. A wrong wIndex, bmRequestType, bRequest or wLength would pass, so ITF_NUM = 2 does not prove the interface number is sent.
Impact: coverage gap only; the driver builds the request correctly today.
Fix: record the setup packet in the stub and assert its fields.

nit: New declarations and assignments break the .clang-format alignment.
test/unit-test/test/host/msc/test_msc_host.c:31 and :34 (complete_csw, ctrl_complete_cb) misalign the declaration block, and set_config_count = 0; in setUp (~:169) misaligns the = column.
Impact: cosmetic; clang-format is not enforced in .pre-commit-config.yaml.

low: The tests pin a new API contract that the header and docs do not describe.
assert_submit_fail_completed() (test/unit-test/test/host/msc/test_msc_host.c:221-239) fixes it: after a stage fails to submit, the callback gets a host-built PHASE_ERROR CSW, and tuh_msc_scsi_command(), read10/write10 and tuh_msc_ready() return false until re-enumeration.
msc_host.h:42, :56 and docs/reference/class/msc.rst:96-98, :115-117 still say otherwise, so apps cannot tell a stuck device from a busy one.
Fix: document the permanent refusal and the host-generated phase error.

nit: cbw is declared far from its use.
test/unit-test/test/host/msc/test_msc_host.c:285 declares cbw (.tag = 0x5678) about 12 lines before its first use at :296, ahead of the re-enumeration block. assert_submit_fail_completed declares its own local of the same value at :235.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
nit: xfer_count is not reset before re-enumeration, which leaves the stub's transfer table exactly full.
test/unit-test/test/host/msc/test_msc_host.c:291: xfer_count is 3 after assert_submit_fail_completed(3, ...). enumerate() then uses slots 3-7, so MAX_XFERS=8 is full. One more enumeration transfer would trip TEST_ASSERT_LESS_THAN(MAX_XFERS, xfer_count) at :82.
Impact: the test passes today; fragile for future changes.
Fix: reset xfer_count before mount_bot_interface().
Fence Get Max LUN completion by enumeration generation.
When another asynchronous control transfer owns the slot, msch_set_config() queues Get Max LUN. After close, the host marks that entry stale but still invokes its callback. A detach/attach can start a new enumeration before the queue drains. The old callback can then pass configured, set the new interface's max_lun to 1, and submit another Test Unit Ready command against the new enumeration.
Store an open-generation token in xfer->user_data and require it to match before processing the callback.

Valid in a narrow window, and fixed in cabbbdc; our earlier refutation was wrong. usbh fails a stale queued Get Max LUN at dispatch (src/host/usbh.c:1165-1178) but still calls its callback. If the host task runs an enumeration after_cb (usbh.c:891-898) before the FIFO drain (usbh.c:909-915), the stale entry can outlive msch_set_config() on a reused address and reach the callback with configured set.
_msch_tagid[] (src/class/msc/msc_host.c:67) is bumped per open (:445) and kept across msch_close().
Get Max LUN carries it as user_data (:476); config_get_maxlun_complete() returns on a mismatch (:491).
test_msc_host_enum_stale_get_max_lun_after_reopen (test/unit-test/test/host/msc/test_msc_host.c:518) completes a stale request after a reopen: no transfer submitted, no usbh_driver_set_config_complete(), max_lun untouched, and the reopened interface still enumerates.
rp2040, pio_usb and WCH USBFS now report it unsupported: rp2040 panicked, pio_usb claimed success without
resetting anything, and WCH sent its own blocking CLEAR_FEATURE (kept for its internal STALL path).
…nd non-halted OHCI EDs
rusb2 looked up the pipe with dev_addr instead of dev_addr - 1 and set SQCLR without first moving the pipe to NAK
(RA6M5 UM §28.2.35 Note 2). OHCI 1.0a §4.2.3 allows writing an ED's HeadP/toggleCarry/Halted only while it is
halted, skipped or unlinked.
A recovery completion queued during close can be delivered by an unmount callback that drives tuh_task(), so close
invalidates the recovery tag before calling the callback.

Problem
In
msch_xfer_cb(), every stage submission (command → data, data → data, command/data → status) was aTU_ASSERT.When
usbh_edpt_xfer()fails, usbh ignores the return and leaves nothing pending, socomplete_cbnever runs and thecaller waits forever. The device is then left mid-command: if the host sends another CBW, the device can read it as
data, and after a failed WRITE10 it writes the CBW into the sectors. CodeRabbit raised it on #3968.
Solution
residue = bytes not transferred.
tuh_msc_scsi_command()andtuh_msc_ready()refuse it. The flag is set beforecomplete_cb, so a callback that re-issues a command is refused too.tuh_msc_reset(daddr, cb, arg)lifts the fence without re-enumeration, by BOT Reset Recovery (BOT 1.0 §5.3.4):Bulk-Only Mass Storage Reset, then CLEAR_FEATURE(ENDPOINT_HALT) on Bulk-In and Bulk-Out, each followed by a

not. Only full success lifts the fence; any failure, unplug, or stale completion after re-enumeration leaves it
fenced. The failed command is never retried.
