USB_EP_ALLOC_REQUE(9)

NAME
usb_ep_alloc_request - allocate a request object to use with this endpoint

SYNOPSIS

struct usb_request * usb_ep_alloc_request (struct usb_ep * ep, gfp_t gfp_flags);

ARGUMENTS

ep  the endpoint to be used with with the request

gfp_flags
    GFP_* flags to use

DESCRIPTION

Request objects must be allocated with this call, since they normally need controller-specific setup and may even need endpoint-specific resources such as allocation of DMA descriptors. Requests may be submitted with usb_ep_queue, and receive a single completion callback. Free requests with usb_ep_free_request, when they are no longer needed.

Returns the request, or null if one could not be allocated.
