Those are the only two calls in that test which go up to userspace.

That "out of order" thing is puzzling, but would be a different issue.
It's clearly a bogus diagnostic, since subcase 12 clearly completed
after #11, so it's expected that #13 be next.


Further testing on my system turned up more information:

 - The string fetches done during device enumeration fail sometimes too.
   This leads to delays, timeouts, resubmissions ... it's not just these
   cases in test #10.  Do you see messages about khubd timeouts when that
   gadgetfs device enumerates?

 - In all cases, the control requests which fail don't even get up to
   userspace.  Tracing shows they're received by gadgetfs, and reported.
   But the kernel never gets asked for those events.

As to why they don't get up to userspace, it seems to be something after
the kill_fasync() is called which doesn't work.  The event loop is never
notified; sigwait() never returns, the read on ep0 is never issued.  This
is outside the realm of gadgetfs infrastructure, unfortunately, so unless
a bug turns up in how those notifications are issued I'll suspect something
changed in the signal processing triggered by kill_fasync().

I'm thinking of trying to rewrite that userspace loop in terms of poll(),
but if that works it would just be papering over a bug elsewhere.  Since
that uses a different mechanism in the kernel, it's very possible that
would work while the kill_fasync() mechanism stays broken.
