usb_read_port prepares a bulk in urb and calls usb_submit_urb to pass the usb to the usb core. It seems wrong that usb_read_port returns success to its caller if usb_submit_urb failed with -EPERM. According to drivers/usb/core/urb.c, usb_submit_urb returns -EPERM when an urb is resubmitted after being cancelled by usb_kill_urb etc. The only caller who checks the return value of usb_read_port is rtw_hal_inirp_init. This function submits the bulk in urbs for the first time after the netdevice is opened. We'll not receive -EPERM from usb_submit_urb in this case. The urbs are resubmitted by read_port_complete, which does not check for errors from usb_read_port. This driver may kill pending bulk in urbs when the netdevice is closed when the driver is unloaded or the system goes to sleep. I don't think that this will interrupt an ongoing netdev open.

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.
