Your device fails completely if there are multiple attempts without a reset in between, right? What about devices which always time out the first control request after a reset? I can't be certain any such devices exist, but it wouldn't be surprising given the range of hardware bugs in USB devices. Would it be safer to do this instead? if (r == 0 || (r == -ETIMEDOUT && j = 0)) break; Alan Stern -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe stable" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
