Subject: xhci: Avoid infinite loop when sg urb requires too many trbs
From: Ben Hutchings <ben@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit d6c9ea9069af684358efedcaf2f2f687f51c58ee upstream.
Currently prepare_ring() returns -ENOMEM if the urb won't fit into a
single ring segment. usb_sg_wait() treats this error as a temporary
condition and will keep retrying until something else goes wrong.
The number of retries should be limited in usb_sg_wait(), but also
prepare_ring() should not return an error code that suggests it might
be worth retrying. Change it to -EINVAL.
