CONFIG_USB_WORKQUEUE

Use a dedicate work queue in the USB subsystem

Type: bool

Help

This option provides a dedicated work queue that is used for
all offloaded operations initiated by the USB subsystem.
This prevents deadlock situations where tasks on the system
workqueue inadvertently initiate operations that block, such
as UART transmission on CDC-ACM, preventing the system work
queue from making progress on the USB tasks that would
release the task.

Without this the system work queue is used for all USB
offloaded transfers.

Direct dependencies

USB_DEVICE_STACK

(Includes any dependencies from ifs and menus.)

Default

y if USB_CDC_ACM

Kconfig definition

At <Zephyr>/subsys/usb/Kconfig:123
