    usb: usbtmc: Add ioctl for vendor specific read · bb99794a
    Guido Kiener authored
    The USBTMC_IOCTL_READ call provides for generic synchronous and
    asynchronous reads on bulk IN to implement vendor specific library
    routines.
    
    Depending on transfer_size the function submits one or more urbs (up
    to 16) each with a size of up to 4kB.
    
    The flag USBTMC_FLAG_IGNORE_TRAILER can be used when the transmission
    size is already known. Then the function does not truncate the
    transfer_size to a multiple of 4 kB, but does reserve extra space
    to receive the final short or zero length packet. Note that the
    instrument is allowed to send up to wMaxPacketSize - 1 bytes at the
    end of a message to avoid sending a zero length packet.
    
    With flag USBTMC_FLAG_ASYNC the ioctl is non blocking. When no
    received data is available, the read function submits as many urbs as
    needed to receive transfer_size bytes. However the number of flying
    urbs (=4kB) is limited to 16 even with subsequent calls of this ioctl.
    
    Returns -EAGAIN when non blocking and no data is received.
    Signals EPOLLIN | EPOLLRDNORM when asynchronous urbs are ready to
    be read.
    
    In non blocking mode the usbtmc_message.message pointer may be NULL
    and the ioctl just submits urbs to initiate receiving data. However if
    data is already available due to a previous non blocking call the ioctl
    will return -EINVAL when the message pointer is NULL.
    
    This ioctl does not support compatibility for 32 bit
    applications running on 64 bit systems. However all other
    convenient ioctls of the USBTMC driver can still be used in 32
    bit applications as well. Note that 32 bit applications running
    on 32 bit target systems are not affected by this limitation.
