NAME

usb_kill_urb - cancel a transfer request and wait for it to finish

SYNOPSIS

void usb_kill_urb(struct urb * urb);

ARGUMENTS

urb

pointer to URB describing a previously submitted request, may be NULL

DESCRIPTION

This routine cancels an in-progress request. It is guaranteed that upon return all completion handlers will have finished and the URB will be totally idle and available for reuse. These features make this an ideal way to stop I/O in a disconnect callback or close function. If the request has not already finished or been unlinked the completion handler will see urb->status == -ENOENT.

While the routine is running, attempts to resubmit the URB will fail with error -EPERM. Thus even if the URB's completion handler always tries to resubmit, it will not succeed and the URB will become idle.

This routine may not be used in an interrupt context (such as a bottom half or a completion handler), or when holding a spinlock, or in other situations where the caller can't schedule.
