That will hopefully allow you in the future to get rid of that buffer as odds are it will not be needed anymore. > + > + if (adapt->bSurpriseRemoved || adapt->pwrctrlpriv.pnp_bstop_trx) > + return -EPERM; How is it ok to check this outside of the lock? What happens if these values change right _after_ you check them? Why check them at all, is this something that we even care about? I know you are trying to make this just the same logic at is there today, but why not just do it right the first time? > + > + mutex_lock(&dvobjpriv->usb_vendor_req_mutex); > + > + io_buf = dvobjpriv->usb_vendor_req_buf; > + > + status = usb_control_msg_recv(udev, 0, REALTEK_USB_VENQT_CMD_REQ, > + REALTEK_USB_VENQT_READ, addr, > + REALTEK_USB_VENQT_CMD_IDX, io_buf, > + size, RTW_USB_CONTROL_MSG_TIMEOUT, > + GFP_KERNEL); > + > + if (status == -ESHUTDOWN || > + status == -ENODEV || > + status == -ENOENT) { > + /* > + * device or controller has been disabled due to > + * some problem that could not be worked around, > + * device or bus doesn’t exist, endpoint does not > + * exist or is not enabled. > + */ > + adapt->bSurpriseRemoved = true; > + goto mutex_unlock; > + } > + > + if (status < 0) { > + GET_HAL_DATA(adapt)->srestpriv.wifi_error_status = > + USB_VEN_REQ_CMD_FAIL; > + > + if (rtw_inc_and_chk_continual_urb_error(dvobjpriv)) > + adapt->bSurpriseRemoved = true; > + > + goto mutex_unlock; > + } > + > + rtw_reset_continual_urb_error(dvobjpriv); > + memcpy(data, io_buf, size); > + > +mutex_unlock: > + mutex_unlock(&dvobjpriv->usb_vendor_req_mutex); > + > + return status; No one cares about this value, is that ok? thanks, greg k-h
