Hi Alan,

It seemed fragile, due to these scary lines:

        if (is_in && uurb->buffer_length > 0)
                as->userbuffer = uurb->buffer;
        else
                as->userbuffer = NULL;

I suppose it works in this particular case.  How is the
USBDEVFS_URB_TYPE_CONTROL case supposed to work here?

I can certainly change the patch if preferred. Tested and attached
below.

Thanks,
Henrik

Subject: [PATCH v2] usbdevfs: Fix broken scatter-gather transfer

The handling of large output bulk transfers is broken; the same user
page is read over and over again. Fixed with this patch.
