Re: [patch 2/3] hci_usb: remove code obfuscation

Hi Pavel,

_urb_free is an alias for kfree... making code longer & harder to
read. Remove it.

our own URB handling here is broken anyway. It was a bad idea when we did it, but at that time the USB susbsystem was not in that good shape that
it
is today. So I would say leave this code as it is and concentrate on the new btusb driver, but if it helps anybody I am happy to ACK this one.

It currently corrupts memory (use after free) during suspend, and I'm
trying to get that fixed. It is 90% reproducible.

that is good, because I can't reproduce it with any of my system. Don't ask me why. I really simply works. So if you figure it out, it would be great.

There needs to be some load on the usb. I use
rsync-over-bt-over-gprs/umts.

you told me before and I believe you. This driver is not in its best shape. Weird thing is that I never got it re-produced. If you find the real cause. That would be great.

It could be easily fixed by just not freeing the urbs during
disconnect (introducing very very slow memory leak). Would that be
acceptable?

I don't think so.

Have you ever tried btusb driver? That code is a lot cleaner and it uses
USB anchors for the queued URBs (no home grown broken URB queues).

I wish I knew about  this one earlier. Yes, it seems to work for me.

Does this mean you are not fixing hci_usb anymore ;)

Regards

Marcel
