New core functions to make sending/receiving USB control messages easier and saner. In discussions, it turns out that the large majority of users of usb_control_msg() do so in potentially incorrect ways. The most common issue is where a "short" message is received, yet never detected properly due to "incorrect" error handling. Handle all of this in the USB core with two new functions to try to make working with USB control messages simpler. No more need for dynamic data, messages can be on the stack, and only "complete" send/receive will work without causing an error.

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.
