The initrd is about to build the USB gadget itself instead of leaving that to smoo-gadget, so that a USB manager on the served root (usb-signaller) can adopt the gadget in place and keep ffs.smoo linked across mode switches. Add the pure parts of that first, with tests, so the shell that touches configfs stays thin: - fixed names for the gadget (usb_gadget/smoo), the FunctionFS instance (ffs.smoo) and its mount (/run/smoo/ffs), which the drop-in pins by name; - smoo_vendor/smoo_product (rd.smoo.vendor/product, 0xdead/0xbeef) and smoo_gadget_serial (rd.smoo.serial, "0001" as smoo-gadget hard-codes), rejecting values configfs would refuse after the gadget dir exists; - smoo_extra_functions for rd.smoo.functions=ncm.usb0,..., refusing ffs.* (nothing in the initrd would serve it, so every bind would fail), '/', whitespace and anything not <driver>.<instance>; - smoo_usb_signaller_dropin, the [gadget.smoo] adopt + pinned_functions table; - smoo_ffs_ready and smoo_pick_udc for the bind step. Nothing calls them yet. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
smoo-gadget used to build its own configfs gadget (gadgetry-most-foul0), run remove_all() over every gadget first, bind the UDC and delete the whole tree again on exit. A USB manager on the served root cannot work with that: a function can only be linked into its own gadget, only while it is unbound, and FunctionFS instance names are global, so the only way to add networking or a serial console next to the root transport is to adopt smoo's gadget in place and never drop ffs.smoo from it. That needs a gadget with stable names that nobody deletes. So the initrd now owns the gadget and smoo-gadget only serves its FunctionFS instance, the --ffs-dir path every harness test already uses: - smoo-gadget-initrd-start builds usb_gadget/smoo (rd.smoo.vendor/product, default 0xdead:0xbeef; composite class EF/02/01; strings smoo / smoo gadget / rd.smoo.serial; c.1 "smoo", 500 mA), links ffs.smoo first so it stays interface 0, pre-composes rd.smoo.functions, mounts FunctionFS instance smoo at /run/smoo/ffs and execs smoo-gadget --ffs-dir. It never writes UDC. A restart in the initrd reuses the tree and the mount. - It also writes /run/usb-signaller/usb-signaller.toml.d/50-smoo.toml (adopt, pin ffs.smoo) through a temporary name that does not end in .toml. - New smoo-gadget-bind, the unit's ExecStartPost, waits for a UDC (rd.smoo.udc or the first one) and for ffs.smoo/ready to read 1 (ep1 on kernels before 6.9), each bounded by rd.smoo.udc_timeout, then binds unless something already did. On failure it points at the kernel's "failed to start" line, since configfs reports every failed bind as EBUSY, and exits 1 so Restart= applies. For Type=simple systemd runs ExecStartPost right after the fork and keeps the unit activating until it returns (service_enter_start_post), so smoo-root-setup.service, ordered After=, still starts only once the gadget is bound; no extra unit is needed. TimeoutStartSec=infinity keeps systemd's default from cutting a raised udc_timeout short; the helper bounds itself. - smoo_gadget_args passes --ffs-dir and no longer passes --vendor-id or --product-id, which that path ignores. - The initrd carries usb_f_ncm and u_ether so rd.smoo.functions=ncm.usb0 works, plus the tools the new steps use. - The shutdown hook still only stops the daemon; the pre-pivot hook notes that /run, with the FunctionFS mount and the drop-in, is carried to the new root.

A restart of smoo-root-storage.service reused any gadget directory it found. If build_gadget had failed after creating the directory but before linking ffs.smoo into c.1, the retry skipped the build and went on to bind a gadget without the smoo interface. Only a complete gadget is reused now: functions/ffs.smoo linked into configs/c.1, the last required step of the build. A half-built one is torn down in configfs order (a stale FunctionFS mount, links, c.1 strings, c.1, functions, strings, the gadget) and built again, unless it is bound to a UDC, in which case the start fails rather than touch it. The build moves into smoo-lib as smoo_build_gadget, next to smoo_gadget_complete, smoo_teardown_gadget and smoo_ensure_gadget, so tests/dracut/run.sh can exercise all four against a temporary directory with a minimal configfs stand-in for mkdir and rmdir. The initrd now installs umount explicitly. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Reject a complete gadget that is already bound.
This test checks only an incomplete bound gadget. For a complete bound gadget, smoo_ensure_gadget returns success before it checks UDC. That violates the required fail-on-bound behavior. Add a complete-bound case here, and check UDC before reusing a complete gadget in smoo-lib.sh.

smoo-gadgetbuilds its own configfs gadget (gadgetry-most-foul0), runsremove_all()over every gadget first, binds the UDC itself and deletes the whole tree again on exit. A USB manager on the served root (usb-signaller) cannot work with that. The kernel only lets a function be linked into a config of its own gadget, and only while that gadget is unbound. FunctionFS instance names are also global. So the only way to offer networking or a serial console next to the root transport is to adopt smoo's gadget in place and never drop the smoo function from it. That needs a gadget with stable names that nobody deletes.What this does
The initrd now owns the gadget.
smoo-gadgetonly serves its FunctionFS instance, via--ffs-dir, the path every harness test already uses. There is no Rust change.smoo-gadget-initrd-startbuildsusb_gadget/smoo:rd.smoo.vendor/rd.smoo.product, default0xdead:0xbeef;EF/02/01;smoo/smoo gadget/rd.smoo.serial, default0001;c.1namedsmoo, 500 mA.It then links
ffs.smoofirst (interface 0), pre-composesrd.smoo.functions, mounts FunctionFS instancesmooat/run/smoo/ffs, writes the usb-signaller drop-in and execssmoo-gadget --ffs-dir /run/smoo/ffs. It never writesUDC. A restart inside the initrd reuses a complete tree (ffs.smoolinked intoc.1, the build's last required step) and the mount. A half-built tree left by a failed start is torn down in configfs order and rebuilt, unless something has bound it to a UDC, in which case the start fails rather than touch it.New

The initrd also carriesusb_f_ncmandu_etherso thatrd.smoo.functions=ncm.usb0works.
