Hello,
I ran into the following piece of code at drivers/usb/storage/jumpshot.c:305 (linux-next), and it seems a little bit suspicious:
// read the result. apparently the bulk write can complete
// before the jumpshot drive is finished writing. so we loop
// here until we get a good return code
waitcount = 0;
do {
result = jumpshot_get_status(us);
if (result != USB_STOR_TRANSPORT_GOOD) {
// I have not experimented to find the smallest value.
//
msleep(50);
}
} while ((result != USB_STOR_TRANSPORT_GOOD) && (waitcount < 10));
if (result != USB_STOR_TRANSPORT_GOOD)
usb_stor_dbg(us, "Gah! Waitcount = 10. Bad write!?\n");
Variable 'waitcount' is never updated inside the do-while loop. So, either it isn't needed at all or line 316 should be modified (++waitcount < 10)
In case 'waitcount' isn't needed, lines 318 and 319 should be removed.
Can someone help me to clarify this so I can write a patch to fix this code?
Thank you
