USB_RESET_DEVICE(9) USB Core APIs USB_RESET_DEVICE(9)
NAME
usb_reset_device - warn interface drivers and perform a USB port reset
SYNOPSIS
int usb_reset_device(struct usb_device * udev);
ARGUMENTS
udev
device to reset (not in SUSPENDED or NOTATTACHED state)
DESCRIPTION
Warns all drivers bound to registered interfaces (using their pre_reset method), performs the port reset, and then lets the drivers know
that the reset is over (using their post_reset method).
Return value is the same as for usb_reset_and_verify_device.
The caller must own the device lock. For example, it's safe to use this from a driver probe routine after downloading new firmware. For
calls that might not occur during probe, drivers should lock the device using usb_lock_device_for_reset.
If an interface is currently being probed or disconnected, we assume its driver knows how to handle resets. For all other interfaces, if
the driver doesn't have pre_reset and post_reset methods then we attempt to unbind it and rebind afterward.
