commit 32a0721c66 upstream.
According to Greg KH, it has been generally agreed that when a USB
driver encounters an unknown error (or one it can't handle directly),
it should just give up instead of going into a potentially infinite
retry loop.
The three codes -EPROTO, -EILSEQ, and -ETIME fall into this category.
They can be caused by bus errors such as packet loss or corruption,
attempting to communicate with a disconnected device, or by malicious
firmware. Nowadays the extent of packet loss or corruption is
negligible, so it should be safe for a driver to give up whenever one
of these errors occurs.
Although the yurex driver handles -EILSEQ errors in this way, it
doesn't do the same for -EPROTO (as discovered by the syzbot fuzzer)
or other unrecognized errors. This patch adjusts the driver so that
it doesn't log an error message for -EPROTO or -ETIME, and it doesn't
retry after any errors.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
