[PATCH] cdc_ncm: do not call usbnet_link_change from cdc_ncm_bind

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



usbnet_link_change will call schedule_work and should be
avoided if bind is failing. Otherwise we will end up with
scheduled work referring to a netdev which has gone away.

Instead of making the call conditional, we can just defer
it to usbnet_probe, using the driver_info flag made for
this purpose.

Even with Oliver's generic fix we should still fix the inconsistency
in cdc_ncm, as pointed out by Linus.

This is a slightly different approach than the patch proposed by Linus.
When I started looking at this I couldn't figure out why we were doing
this differently in this driver from all the other usbnet drivers
disabling the link at probe time.  So let's make it consistent.  Then at
least we get consistent bugs :)
