usbd_transfer_setup() returning USB_ERR_NO_PIPE

Hi all,
I am trying to attach a USB device with the usbd_transfer_setup() during the attach() stage, but am getting a kernel message saying USB_ERR_NO_PIPE.
I traced this back in the kernel to sys/dev/usb/usb_transfer.c line 1156. There are a series of check-conditions that ultimately return USB_ERR_NO_PIPE. I do not know what USB_ERR_NO_PIPE means.

My questions are:
  1. What does this error message mean? What is happening that is causing this condition to arise?
  2. How would I instrument with dtrace to identify the values being compared to identify the issue? I have not been able to figure out the dtrace magic necessary to print the struct in a human-readable way. (I would love to include the struct as we do in C without having to replicate it in a dtrace script, but have not figured out how to do that.)
Short of adding a series of printfs, I am not sure how to debug this or what this even means.
Please advise. Thanks!
 
No disrespect meant, but you're working with kernel driver code and you don't know what USB_ERR_NO_PIPE means?
Succinctly, it means there's an error in the TCB. What error, I don't know because it's all about context and I have no time to read your indicated code, sorry.
I wonder what you have set for the type element in the usb_config structure or perhaps you can just set the flags element to no_pipe_ok and your error will disappear?

Oh, and there's no need for dtrace until you suspect this is an error in the usb driver code/API rather than an EDOOFUS. :eek:

Edit: There's always the mailing list of freebsd-usb and freebsd-drivers to ask questions if you are developing a driver.
