Hi,

I am looking at usb_sg_init().

void usb_sg_wait (struct usb_sg_request *io)
{
        int             i, entries = io->entries;

        /* queue the urbs.  */
        spin_lock_irq (&io->lock);
        for (i = 0; i < entries && !io->status; i++) {
                int     retval;

                io->urbs [i]->dev = io->dev;
                retval = usb_submit_urb (io->urbs [i], GFP_ATOMIC);

                /* after we submit, let completions or cancelations fire;
                 * we handshake using io->status.
                 */
                spin_unlock_irq (&io->lock);
                switch (retval) {
                        /* maybe we retrying will recover */
                case -ENXIO:    // hc didn't queue this one
                case -EAGAIN:
                case -ENOMEM:
                        io->urbs[i]->dev = NULL;
                        retval = 0;
                        i--;
                        yield ();
                        break;

In essence this leaves handling a persistent failure to the generic
scsi layer, which will timeout and abort the request. Is there any objection
to report the URB where it failed to the immediate user and let him
retry the remainder or handle the error any other way?
I dimly remember discussing this routine in the past.

        Regards
                Oliver
