usb_interrupt_msg — Builds an interrupt urb, sends it off and waits for completion
int usb_interrupt_msg ( | struct usb_device * usb_dev, |
unsigned int pipe, | |
void * data, | |
int len, | |
int * actual_length, | |
int timeout) ; |
usb_dev
pointer to the usb device to send the message to
pipe
endpoint “pipe” to send the message to
data
pointer to the data to send
len
length in bytes of the data to send
actual_length
pointer to a location to put the actual length transferred in bytes
timeout
time in msecs to wait for the message to complete before timing out (if 0 the wait is forever)
This function sends a simple interrupt message to a specified endpoint and waits for the message to complete, or timeout.
Don't use this function from within an interrupt context, like a bottom half
handler. If you need an asynchronous message, or need to send a message
from within interrupt context, use usb_submit_urb
If a thread in your
driver uses this call, make sure your disconnect
method can wait for it to
complete. Since you don't have a handle on the URB used, you can't cancel
the request.
