I am not sure whether USB subsystem is leaking memory. I am digging it.

This issue is not relative with MALLOC area.
This issue come out when all ptd[i].usb_dev (the maximum value of i is 
64) is not NULL. Each time to call td_alloc, it will check whether 
ptd[i].usb_dev is NULL (i from 0 to 63), if not find one of 
ptd[i].usb_dev is NULL, then report ENOMEM.

Any advice for this question?

If I comment the td_submit_job and add urb_free_priv(urb) here, then usb 
keyboard work properly. It looks like
