I've been working on some kernel usbfs changes to make live easier for libusbx, consisting of 2 API additions: 1) An API to query the kernel if it supports things like the bulk-continuation flag and other features for which we currently abuse the kernel version to find out if they are supported 2) Support for using scatter-gather lists for large bulk transfers, this does not really change the userspace API, but we can take advantage of this by simply submitting large transfers in one go, rather then splitting it up, with all difficulties that creates for us
The patches in this patch-set add support for these 2 new features. Note this is strictly a RFC, do not add these patches to the git tree yet, please! The reason for this is that although the upstream kernel reception of the patches has been positive. the patches are not in the upstream kernel yet, so the API may still change!!
