Add ioctls USBTMC_IOCTL_GET_TIMEOUT / USBTMC_IOCTL_SET_TIMEOUT to
get/set I/O timeout for specific file handle.

Different operations on an instrument can take different lengths of
time thus it is important to be able to set the timeout slightly
longer than the expected duration of each operation to optimise the
responsiveness of the application. As the instrument may be shared by
multiple applications the timeout should be settable on a per file
descriptor basis.

What is the "size" of unsigned int in 32 vs. 64 bit kernels?  Shouldn't
this be __u32?

Thanks. Of course, same problem. We make __u32.

Why do you need __u32 on kernel side?
Would plain u32 work?

It compiles and links with u32 and __u32 (and even double). AFAIK __u32 is for
user code and u32 for kernel code. So, correct is here what the  
maintainer says
or experienced kernel developers :-).
My opinion here is that put_user(..) and get_user(..) should always  
copy to the
same type to always have a safe copy operation from/to userland. So I prefer
__u32.

If you are sure that u32 is more correct here, then we use u32.

Best regards,

Guido

Yes, on the kernel side that is the correct type to use after you copy
it over from userspace.
