OK.  Im picturing Valdis' beard in a top-down E-type

I was just perusing this
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/changes.html
it speaks to minimum versions of everything

Its good to next thru a bit, youll find things you didnt know.
I dont need a PGP, but I know where to look for info now.

In USB CDC, any software flow control mechanism is implemented?
Any hardware flow control mechanism there?
How to enable this software flow control mechanism in kernel device drivers?
Any other information related to this is good for us.

The specification is public on the usb.org web site, if you are curious.
There is no need for "flow control" like you are used to for older
serial connections with USB, the way USB works handles it automatically
(the host drives the connection, if the device is full, it tells the
host to wait automatically).

> Any hardware flow control mechanism there?

Other than the normal USB flow control mechanism?  No, why would there
be?

> How to enable this software flow control mechanism in kernel device drivers?

what software flow control?

> Any other information related to this is good for us.

For whom?  What exactly have you tried and what were the results?
