usb.c user mode driver gadgetfs dmesg error code

I have modified usb.c user mode gadget usb driver to create usb endpoints on an embedded system. When I run the driver I am able to open the gadgetfs file system, but when I write usb descriptors I get an error message saying "write dev descriptors: Invalid argument. The error is also associated with a dmesg output
gadgetfs: dev_config fail 4294967274, cf432200
I assume that I have a problem with the descriptors that I am trying to write, however I don't see what the problem might be.

Can someone help me with learning how to decode the numbers associated with the dmesg output in case they are helpful in identifying my problem.

Messages in show shown in dmesg are kernel debug messages (usually printk).

So you can use the grep command to find the exact line of code outputting this message (in /drivers/usb/gadget):

grep "dev_config" *.c

in inode.c you can see the write operation calls calls dev_config function

In my kernel, the particular line is:

pr_debug ("%s: %s fail %Zd, %p\n", shortname, __FUNCTION__, value, dev);

So you can check the usage of value and dev in the dev_config to find out what may be the problem.

Thank you for the pointer. I use this kind of procedure all the time to find problems in code with which I am familiar. However, I didn't know where to start looking in the Linux code. Thanks.
