[PATCH 3.12 062/133] xhci: Avoid infinite loop when sg urb requires too many trbs

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

3.12-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Ben Hutchings <ben@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit d6c9ea9069af684358efedcaf2f2f687f51c58ee upstream.

Currently prepare_ring() returns -ENOMEM if the urb won't fit into a
single ring segment.  usb_sg_wait() treats this error as a temporary
condition and will keep retrying until something else goes wrong.

The number of retries should be limited in usb_sg_wait(), but also
prepare_ring() should not return an error code that suggests it might
be worth retrying.  Change it to -EINVAL.
