Do you also need/want this in older (i.e. stable) > kernel releases? Oh right... sorry, I should've had a closer look first. (I guess Google doesn't index git.kernel.org that well or I would've found it.) I personally don't care about the stable backport, but it does work around a rare use-after-free bug of the udev->config pointer (when the usb_set_configuration(-1) in usb_deauthorize_device() fails because the device is already unplugged, but it still runs usb_destroy_configuration() afterwards), so you might want to consider it. > You are using wireless usb? Nope, but we are using the sysfs "authorized" node to force a reconfiguration and driver rebinding in certain cases. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-usb" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
