Report the number of dropped packets instead of zero when using the binary usbmon interface with tcpdump. # tcpdump -i usbmon1 -w dump tcpdump: listening on usbmon1, link-type USB_LINUX_MMAPPED (USB with padded Linux header), capture size 65535 bytes ^C2155 packets captured 2155 packets received by filter 1019 packets dropped by kernel Signed-off-by: Johannes Stezenbach <js@xxxxxxxxx> --- It seems this error has existed for years so the patch may be applicable for stable, My test program does a single 20 MByte libusb_bulk_transfer() and most of the SUBMITs are dropped while most of the COMPLETEs make it through. It is quite confusing that tcpdump claims there are no dropped packets. diff --git a/drivers/usb/mon/mon_bin.c b/drivers/usb/mon/mon_bin.c index a09dbd2..a04b2ff 100644 --- a/drivers/usb/mon/mon_bin.c +++ b/drivers/usb/mon/mon_bin.c @@ -1101,7 +1101,7 @@ static long mon_bin_ioctl(struct file *file, unsigned int cmd, unsigned long arg nevents = mon_bin_queued(rp); sp = (struct mon_bin_stats __user *)arg; - if (put_user(rp->cnt_lost, &sp->dropped)) + if (put_user(ndropped, &sp->dropped)) return -EFAULT; if (put_user(nevents, &sp->queued)) return -EFAULT; -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-usb" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
