The current usbip tool relies on the behavior of the vhci-hcd driver in order to work correctly. In instances where a newer version of the tool is used with an older version of the kernel, there are incompatibilities that can sometimes result in failure.
usbip tool is tied to the kernel version. This is reason why it is co-located with the usbip driver in the kernel sources. This is not a typical tool scenario to be able to use new tool on old kernels. I would like to understand the reasons for wanting to run new tool on old kernels. thanks, -- Shuah
