I skimmed through code, and I'm not sure about Dmitry's approach,
because I think usb_submit_urb() can return some valid urb-
>actual_length and error code:

	if (!wait_for_completion_timeout(&ctx.done, expire)) {
		usb_kill_urb(urb);
		retval = (ctx.status == -ENOENT ? -ETIMEDOUT :
ctx.status);

		dev_dbg(&urb->dev->dev,
			"%s timed out on ep%d%s len=%u/%u\n",
			current->comm,
			usb_endpoint_num(&urb->ep->desc),
			usb_urb_dir_in(urb) ? "in" : "out",
			urb->actual_length,
			urb->transfer_buffer_length);
	} else
		retval = ctx.status;
...
	if (actual_length)
		*actual_length = urb->actual_length;

I believe, that this info might be useful.  

Im not sure about it, i didn't found any examples of this log and have
no idea how to reproduce it, it's just my thoughts. Maybe, one of the
maintainers will correct me
