This amd5536udc was a complete mess. The major problems that i could find are: 1) if udc_pci_probe() fails in any stage then it just calls the udc_pci_remove() to handle error. And udc_pci_remove() works with struct udc *dev which we get from pci_get_drvdata(pdev). But we do the pci_set_drvdata(pdev, dev) almost at the end of probe. So basically incase of error we are handling the error by dereferencing a NULL pointer. 2) udc_pci_remove() does a BUG_ON(dev->driver != NULL) and dev->driver will be set only if probe is success. So that means if probe fails then probe will call udc_pci_remove() for error handling and udc_pci_remove() will inturn halts the kernel by calling BUG(). And apart from these numerous memory leaks and not releasing of resources. Here comes a rewrite of few of the functions in an attempt to fix these. regards sudip Sudip Mukherjee (16): usb: gadget: amd5536udc: introduce free_dma_pools usb: gadget: amd5536udc: rewrite init_dma_pools usb: gadget: amd5536udc: rewrite udc_pci_probe usb: gadget: amd5536udc: use WARN_ON usb: gadget: amd5536udc: use free_dma_pools usb: gadget: amd5536udc: remove unnecessary conditions usb: gadget: amd5536udc: unmap virt_addr usb: gadget: amd5536udc: remove forward declaration of udc_probe usb: gadget: amd5536udc: remove forward declaration of udc_remote_wakeup usb: gadget: amd5536udc: remove forward declaration of udc_create_dma_chain usb: gadget: amd5536udc: remove forward declaration of udc_free_dma_chain usb: gadget: amd5536udc: remove forward declaration of udc_pci_* usb: gadget: amd5536udc: remove forward declaration of udc_basic_init usb: gadget: amd5536udc: NULL comparison usb: gadget: amd5536udc: remove multiple blank lines usb: gadget: amd5536udc: match alignment drivers/usb/gadget/udc/amd5536udc.c | 797 ++++++++++++++++++------------------ 1 file changed, 390 insertions(+), 407 deletions(-) -- 1.9.1 -- 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
