-Revised: 2004-Oct-21
-
-This is the documentation of (hopefully) all possible error codes (and
-their interpretation) that can be returned from usbcore.
-
-Some of them are returned by the Host Controller Drivers (HCDs), which
-device drivers only see through usbcore. As a rule, all the HCDs should
-behave the same except for transfer speed dependent behaviors and the
-way certain faults are reported.
-

-**************************************************************************
-* Error codes returned by usb_submit_urb *
-**************************************************************************
-
-Non-USB-specific:
-
-0 URB submission went fine
-
--ENOMEM no memory for allocation of internal structures
-
-USB-specific:
-
--EBUSY The URB is already active.
-
--ENODEV specified USB-device or bus doesn't exist
-
--ENOENT specified interface or endpoint does not exist or
- is not enabled
-
--ENXIO host controller driver does not support queuing of this type
- of urb. (treat as a host controller bug.)
-
--EINVAL a) Invalid transfer type specified (or not supported)
- b) Invalid or unsupported periodic transfer interval
- c) ISO: attempted to change transfer interval
- d) ISO: number_of_packets is < 0
- e) various other cases
-
--EXDEV ISO: URB_ISO_ASAP wasn't specified and all the frames
- the URB would be scheduled in have already expired.
-
--EFBIG Host controller driver can't schedule that many ISO frames.
-
--EPIPE The pipe type specified in the URB doesn't match the
- endpoint's actual type.
-
--EMSGSIZE (a) endpoint maxpacket size is zero; it is not usable
- in the current interface altsetting.
- (b) ISO packet is larger than the endpoint maxpacket.
- (c) requested data transfer length is invalid: negative
- or too large for the host controller.
-
--ENOSPC This request would overcommit the usb bandwidth reserved
- for periodic transfers (interrupt, isochronous).
-
--ESHUTDOWN The device or host controller has been disabled due to some
- problem that could not be worked around.
-
--EPERM Submission failed because urb->reject was set.
-
--EHOSTUNREACH URB was rejected because the device is suspended.
-
--ENOEXEC A control URB doesn't contain a Setup packet.
-
-
-**************************************************************************
-* Error codes returned by in urb->status *
-* or in iso_frame_desc[n].status (for ISO) *
-**************************************************************************
-
-USB device drivers may only test urb status values in completion handlers.
-This is because otherwise there would be a race between HCDs updating
-these values on one CPU, and device drivers testing them on another CPU.
-
-A transfer's actual_length may be positive even when an error has been
-reported. That's because transfers often involve several packets, so that
-one or more packets could finish before an error stops further endpoint I/O.
-
-For isochronous URBs, the urb status value is non-zero only if the URB is
-unlinked, the device is removed, the host controller is disabled, or the total
-transferred length is less than the requested length and the URB_SHORT_NOT_OK
-flag is set. Completion handlers for isochronous URBs should only see
-urb->status set to zero, -ENOENT, -ECONNRESET, -ESHUTDOWN, or -EREMOTEIO.
-Individual frame descriptor status fields may report more status codes.
-
-
-0 Transfer completed successfully
-
--ENOENT URB was synchronously unlinked by usb_unlink_urb
-
--EINPROGRESS URB still pending, no results yet
- (That is, if drivers see this it's a bug.)
-
--EPROTO (*, **) a) bitstuff error
- b) no response packet received within the
- prescribed bus turn-around time
- c) unknown USB error
-
--EILSEQ (*, **) a) CRC mismatch
- b) no response packet received within the
- prescribed bus turn-around time
- c) unknown USB error
-
- Note that often the controller hardware does not
- distinguish among cases a), b), and c), so a
- driver cannot tell whether there was a protocol
- error, a failure to respond (often caused by
- device disconnect), or some other fault.
-
--ETIME (**) No response packet received within the prescribed
- bus turn-around time. This error may instead be
- reported as -EPROTO or -EILSEQ.
-
--ETIMEDOUT Synchronous USB message functions use this code
- to indicate timeout expired before the transfer
- completed, and no other error was reported by HC.
-
--EPIPE (**) Endpoint stalled. For non-control endpoints,
- reset this status with usb_clear_halt().
-
--ECOMM During an IN transfer, the host controller
- received data from an endpoint faster than it
- could be written to system memory
-
--ENOSR During an OUT transfer, the host controller
- could not retrieve data from system memory fast
- enough to keep up with the USB data rate
-
--EOVERFLOW (*) The amount of data returned by the endpoint was
- greater than either the max packet size of the
- endpoint or the remaining buffer size. "Babble".
-
--EREMOTEIO The data read from the endpoint did not fill the
- specified buffer, and URB_SHORT_NOT_OK was set in
- urb->transfer_flags.
-
--ENODEV Device was removed. Often preceded by a burst of
- other errors, since the hub driver doesn't detect
- device removal events immediately.
-
--EXDEV ISO transfer only partially completed
- (only set in iso_frame_desc[n].status, not urb->status)
-
--EINVAL ISO madness, if this happens: Log off and go home
-
--ECONNRESET URB was asynchronously unlinked by usb_unlink_urb
-
--ESHUTDOWN The device or host controller has been disabled due
- to some problem that could not be worked around,
- such as a physical disconnect.
-
-
-(*) Error codes like -EPROTO, -EILSEQ and -EOVERFLOW normally indicate
-hardware problems such as bad devices (including firmware) or cables.
-
-(**) This is also one of several codes that different kinds of host
-controller use to indicate a transfer has failed because of device
-disconnect. In the interval before the hub driver starts disconnect
-processing, devices may receive such fault reports for every request.
