Dear Sir, I'm very sorry to trouble you. Recently I test 15 linux device drivers in runtime and find some potential bugs both in Linux 3.8.6 and Linux 3.17.2. The target file is drivers/usb/storage/usb.c, which is used to build usb_storage.ko. I hope you can help me check my findings: [1] In the normal process of usb_storage, INIT_DELAYED_WORK in usb_stor_probe1 (in storage_probe) and cancel_delayed_work_sync in quiesce_and_remove_host (in usb_stor_disconnect) is called in pairs. However, when INIT_DELAYED_WORK has been called and associate_dev is failed in usb_stor_probe1, "BadDevice" segment is executed immediately to halt the process, but cancel_delayed_work_sync is not called. [2] The same situation with [1] will happen, when usb_alloc_coherent in associate_dev in usb_stor_probe1 is failed. [3] The same situation with [1] will happen, when kmalloc in associate_dev in usb_stor_probe1 is failed. [4] The same situation with [1] will happen, when get_device_info in usb_stor_probe1 is failed. [5] The same situation with [1] will happen, when get_pipes in usb_stor_probe2 is failed. [6] The same situation with [1] will happen, when usb_alloc_urb in usb_stor_acquire_resources is failed. [7] The same situation with [1] will happen, when scsi_add_host in usb_stor_probe2 is failed. Could you help me check these findings? Thank you very much, and I'm looking forward to your reply. -- Best wishes!
