+
+USB Error codes
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+:Revised: 2004-Oct-21
+
+This is the documentation of (hopefully) all possible error codes (and
+their interpretation) that can be returned from usbcore.
+
+Some of them are returned by the Host Controller Drivers (HCDs), which
+device drivers only see through usbcore.  As a rule, all the HCDs should
+behave the same except for transfer speed dependent behaviors and the
+way certain faults are reported.
+
+
+Error codes returned by :c:func:`usb_submit_urb`
+================================================
+
+Non-USB-specific:
+
+
+=============== ===============================================
+0		URB submission went fine
+
+``-ENOMEM``	no memory for allocation of internal structures
+=============== ===============================================
+
+USB-specific:
+
+=======================	=======================================================
+``-EBUSY``		The URB is already active.
+
+``-ENODEV``		specified USB-device or bus doesn't exist
+
+``-ENOENT``		specified interface or endpoint does not exist or
+			is not enabled
+
+``-ENXIO``		host controller driver does not support queuing of
+			this type of urb.  (treat as a host controller bug.)
+
+``-EINVAL``		a) Invalid transfer type specified (or not supported)
+			b) Invalid or unsupported periodic transfer interval
+			c) ISO: attempted to change transfer interval
+			d) ISO: ``number_of_packets`` is < 0
+			e) various other cases
+
+``-EXDEV``		ISO: ``URB_ISO_ASAP`` wasn't specified and all the
+			frames the URB would be scheduled in have already
+			expired.
+
+``-EFBIG``		Host controller driver can't schedule that many ISO
+			frames.
+
+``-EPIPE``		The pipe type specified in the URB doesn't match the
+			endpoint's actual type.
+
+``-EMSGSIZE``		(a) endpoint maxpacket size is zero; it is not usable
+			    in the current interface altsetting.
+			(b) ISO packet is larger than the endpoint maxpacket.
+			(c) requested data transfer length is invalid: negative
+			    or too large for the host controller.
+
+``-ENOSPC``		This request would overcommit the usb bandwidth reserved
+			for periodic transfers (interrupt, isochronous).
+
+``-ESHUTDOWN``		The device or host controller has been disabled due to
+			some problem that could not be worked around.
+
+``-EPERM``		Submission failed because ``urb->reject`` was set.
+
+``-EHOSTUNREACH``	URB was rejected because the device is suspended.
+
+``-ENOEXEC``		A control URB doesn't contain a Setup packet.
+=======================	=======================================================
+
+Error codes returned by ``in urb->status`` or in ``iso_frame_desc[n].status`` (for ISO)
+=======================================================================================
+
+USB device drivers may only test urb status values in completion handlers.
+This is because otherwise there would be a race between HCDs updating
+these values on one CPU, and device drivers testing them on another CPU.
+
+A transfer's actual_length may be positive even when an error has been
+reported.  That's because transfers often involve several packets, so that
+one or more packets could finish before an error stops further endpoint I/O.
+
+For isochronous URBs, the urb status value is non-zero only if the URB is
+unlinked, the device is removed, the host controller is disabled, or the total
+transferred length is less than the requested length and the
+``URB_SHORT_NOT_OK`` flag is set.  Completion handlers for isochronous URBs
+should only see ``urb->status`` set to zero, ``-ENOENT``, ``-ECONNRESET``,
+``-ESHUTDOWN``, or ``-EREMOTEIO``. Individual frame descriptor status fields
+may report more status codes.
+
+
+===============================	===============================================
+0				Transfer completed successfully
+
+``-ENOENT``			URB was synchronously unlinked by
+				:c:func:`usb_unlink_urb`
+
+``-EINPROGRESS``		URB still pending, no results yet
+				(That is, if drivers see this it's a bug.)
+
+``-EPROTO`` [#f1]_, [#f2]_	a) bitstuff error
+				b) no response packet received within the
+				   prescribed bus turn-around time
+				c) unknown USB error
+
+``-EILSEQ`` [#f1]_, [#f2]_	a) CRC mismatch
+				b) no response packet received within the
+				   prescribed bus turn-around time
+				c) unknown USB error
+
+				Note that often the controller hardware does
+				not distinguish among cases a), b), and c), so
+				a driver cannot tell whether there was a
+				protocol error, a failure to respond (often
+				caused by device disconnect), or some other
+				fault.
+
+``-ETIME`` [#f2]_		No response packet received within the
+				prescribed bus turn-around time.  This error
+				may instead be reported as
+				``-EPROTO`` or ``-EILSEQ``.
+
+``-ETIMEDOUT``			Synchronous USB message functions use this code
+				to indicate timeout expired before the transfer
+				completed, and no other error was reported
+				by HC.
+
+``-EPIPE`` [#f2]_		Endpoint stalled.  For non-control endpoints,
+				reset this status with
+				:c:func:`usb_clear_halt`.
+
+``-ECOMM``			During an IN transfer, the host controller
+				received data from an endpoint faster than it
+				could be written to system memory
+
+``-ENOSR``			During an OUT transfer, the host controller
+				could not retrieve data from system memory fast
+				enough to keep up with the USB data rate
+
+``-EOVERFLOW`` [#f1]_		The amount of data returned by the endpoint was
+				greater than either the max packet size of the
+				endpoint or the remaining buffer size.
+				"Babble".
+
+``-EREMOTEIO``			The data read from the endpoint did not fill
+				the specified buffer, and ``URB_SHORT_NOT_OK``
+				was set in ``urb->transfer_flags``.
+
+``-ENODEV``			Device was removed.  Often preceded by a burst
+				of other errors, since the hub driver doesn't
+				detect device removal events immediately.
+
+``-EXDEV``			ISO transfer only partially completed
+				(only set in ``iso_frame_desc[n].status``,
+				not ``urb->status``)
+
+``-EINVAL``			ISO madness, if this happens: Log off and
+				go home
+
+``-ECONNRESET``			URB was asynchronously unlinked by
+				:c:func:`usb_unlink_urb`
+
+``-ESHUTDOWN``			The device or host controller has been
+				disabled due to some problem that could not
+				be worked around, such as a physical
+				disconnect.
+===============================	===============================================
+
+
+.. [#f1]
+
+   Error codes like ``-EPROTO``, ``-EILSEQ`` and ``-EOVERFLOW`` normally
+   indicate hardware problems such as bad devices (including firmware)
+   or cables.
+
+.. [#f2]
+
+   This is also one of several codes that different kinds of host
+   controller use to indicate a transfer has failed because of device
+   disconnect.  In the interval before the hub driver starts disconnect
+   processing, devices may receive such fault reports for every request.
