[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Alan Stern <[email protected]>

This patch (as964) was suggested by Steffen Koepf.  It makes
usb_get_descriptor() retry on all errors other than ETIMEDOUT, instead
of only on EPIPE.  This helps with some devices.
