From 416909962e7cdf29fd01ac523c953f37708df93d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alan Stern Date: Tue, 17 Feb 2026 22:07:47 -0500 Subject: USB: usbcore: Introduce usb_bulk_msg_killable() The synchronous message API in usbcore (usb_control_msg(), usb_bulk_msg(), and so on) uses uninterruptible waits. However, drivers may call these routines in the context of a user thread, which means it ought to be possible to at least kill them. For this reason, introduce a new usb_bulk_msg_killable() function which behaves the same as usb_bulk_msg() except for using wait_for_completion_killable_timeout() instead of wait_for_completion_timeout(). The same can be done later for usb_control_msg() later on, if it turns out to be needed.
