When a broken USB accessory connects to a USB host, usbcore might keep doing enumeration retries. If the host has a watchdog mechanism, the kernel panic will happen on the host. This patch provides an attribute early_stop to limit the numbers of retries for each port of a hub. If a port was marked with early_stop attribute, unsuccessful connection attempts will fail quickly. In addition, if an early_stop port has failed to initialize, it will ignore all future connection events until early_stop attribute is clear.

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.
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.
