All requests - successful or not - are moved from pending list to completed list, no requests should be lost. But it looks like after suspend/resume some request may be lost (may be a kernel bug). It that case IOCTL_USB_REAPURB would hang forever since request it's waiting for will never appear on completed list. There is simple workaround. After preceding IOCTL_USB_DISCARDURB call our request is guaranteed to be completed, so there is no need to use blocking IOCTL_USB_DISCARDURB, we may use non-blocking IOCTL_USB_REAPURBNDELAY instead. I've attached patch with this workaround. It also fixes race condition existed in original code, which may cause corruption of stack.
