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.
