From bcf7f6e39335af4f03da8c26a98185fd49754fcc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hans de Goede Date: Wed, 9 Oct 2013 17:19:31 +0200 Subject: usbfs: Add support for allocating / freeing streams This allows userspace to use bulk-streams, just like in kernel drivers, see Documentation/usb/bulk-streams.txt for details on the in kernel API. This is exported pretty much one on one to userspace. To use streams an app must first make a USBDEVFS_ALLOC_STREAMS ioctl, on success this will return the number of streams available (which may be less then requested). If there are n streams the app can then submit usbdevfs_urb-s with their stream_id member set to 1-n to use a specific stream. IE if USBDEVFS_ALLOC_STREAMS returns 4 then stream_id 1-4 can be used. When the app is done using streams it should call USBDEVFS_FREE_STREAMS Note applications are advised to use libusb rather then using the usbdevfs api directly. The latest version of libusb has support for streams.
