It is guaranteed that upon return all completion handlers will have finished and the URB will be totally idle and cannot be reused. These features make this an ideal way to stop I/O in a <code class="function">disconnect</code> callback. If the request has not already finished or been unlinked the completion handler will see urb->status == -ENOENT. </p><p> After and while the routine runs, 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. </p><p> The URB must not be deallocated while this routine is running. In particular, when a driver calls this routine, it must insure that the completion handler cannot deallocate the URB. </p><p> 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 <code class="function">schedule</code>. </p><p> This routine should not be called by a driver after its disconnect method has returned. </p></div></div><div class="navfooter"><hr /><table width="100%" summary="Navigation footer"><tr><td width="40%" align="left"><a accesskey="p" href="API-usb-kill-urb.html">Prev</a> </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="u" href="usbcore.html">Up</a></td><td width="40%" align="right"> <a accesskey="n" href="API-usb-block-urb.html">Next</a></td></tr><tr><td width="40%" align="left" valign="top"><span class="phrase">usb_kill_urb</span> </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="h" href="index.html">Home</a></td><td width="40%" align="right" valign="top"> <span class="phrase">usb_block_urb</span></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
