If the CPU/micro-controller does the filling of buffers, both buffers may
be used. For DMA only one buffer is used. This are two different modes
of operation. Two reasons for that:
1) CPU will be slower when filling buffers, therefore double buffering
is provided.
2) To manage double buffering for DMA in hardware would have
increased the size of the core and is most likely not needed as
DMA will have no problems keeping up ...

Not sure what you mean here. Interrupt service of the USB core, would
be first through CPU intervention to set up the DMA, then second through
DMA.

Basically yes, but it depends on many other parameters. During an
OUT transfer the host is sending a data packet to the USB function.
I can not control what the host does, but, I can control what the core
does in response. Some endpoint types have pre-defined packet
sizes. See USB 2.0 specification for more details.
