This issue was found when adbd trying to open functionfs with AIO mode.
Usually, we need to set "setprop sys.usb.ffs.aio_compat 0" to enable
adbd with AIO mode on Android.

When adbd is opening functionfs, it will try to read 24 bytes at the
first read I/O control. If this reading has been failed, adbd will
try to send FUNCTIONFS_CLEAR_HALT to functionfs. When adbd is in AIO
mode, functionfs will be acted with asyncronized I/O path. After the
successful read transfer has been completed by gadget hardware, the
following series of functions will be called.
  ffs_epfile_async_io_complete() -> ffs_user_copy_worker() ->
    copy_to_iter() -> _copy_to_iter() -> copyout() ->
    iterate_and_advance() -> iterate_iovec()

Adding debug trace to these functions, it has been found that in
copyout(), access_ok() will check if the user space address is valid
to write. However if CONFIG_ARM64_TAGGED_ADDR_ABI is enabled, adbd
always passes user space address start with "0x3C" to gadget's AIO
blocks. This tagged address will cause access_ok() check always fail.
Which causes later calculation in iterate_iovec() turn zero.
Copyout() won't copy data to user space since the length to be copied
"v.iov_len" will be zero. Finally leads ffs_copy_to_iter() always return
-EFAULT, causes adbd cannot open functionfs and send
FUNCTIONFS_CLEAR_HALT.

Changes for v4:
  - Abandon solution v3 by adding "TIF_TAGGED_ADDR" flag to gadget driver.
    According to Catalin's suggestion, change the solution by untagging 
    user space address passed by AIO in gadget driver.
Well, this was suggested in case you have a strong reason not to do the
untagging in adbd. As I said, tagged pointers in user space were
supported long before we introduced CONFIG_ARM64_TAGGED_ADDR_ABI. How
did adb cope with such tagged pointers before? It was not supposed to
pass them to the kernel.

Here you should probably drop all the #ifdefs and IS_ENABLED checks
since untagged_addr() is defined globally as a no-op (and overridden by
arm64 and sparc).

Please don't send another patch until we understand (a) whether this is
a user-space problem to fix or (b) if we fix it in the kernel, is this
the only/right place? If we settle for the in-kernel untagging, do we
explicitly untag the addresses in such kernel threads or we default to
TIF_TAGGED_ADDR for all kernel threads, in case they ever call use_mm()
(or we could even hook something in use_mm() to set this TIF flag
temporarily).

Looking for feedback from the Android folk and a better analysis of the
possible solution.
