Subject: [PATCH 5.4.y] ALSA: scarlett2: Add retry on -EPROTO from scarlett2_usb_tx()
Date: Wed, 13 Aug 2025 10:44:47 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250813144447.2048274-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2025081244-chokehold-itunes-2e5a@gregkh>
From: "Geoffrey D. Bennett" <g@b4.vu>
[ Upstream commit 8a15ca0ca51399b652b1bbb23b590b220cf03d62 ]
During communication with Focusrite Scarlett Gen 2/3/4 USB audio
interfaces, -EPROTO is sometimes returned from scarlett2_usb_tx(),
snd_usb_ctl_msg() which can cause initialisation and control
operations to fail intermittently.
This patch adds up to 5 retries in scarlett2_usb(), with a delay
starting at 5ms and doubling each time. This follows the same approach
as the fix for usb_set_interface() in endpoint.c (commit f406005e162b
("ALSA: usb-audio: Add retry on -EPROTO from usb_set_interface()")),
which resolved similar -EPROTO issues during device initialisation,
and is the same approach as in fcp.c:fcp_usb().
Fixes: 9e4d5c1be21f ("ALSA: usb-audio: Scarlett Gen 2 mixer interface")
Closes: https://github.com/geoffreybennett/linux-fcp/issues/41
