[PATCH 3/3 v5] USB: Fix device driver race

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

 



When a new device with a specialised device driver is plugged in, the
new driver will be modprobe()'d but the driver core will attach the
"generic" driver to the device.

After that, nothing will trigger a reprobe when the modprobe()'d device
driver has finished initialising, as the device has the "generic"
driver attached to it.

Trigger a reprobe ourselves when new specialised drivers get registered.

Fixes: 88b7381a939d ("USB: Select better matching USB drivers when available")

Changes since v4:
- Add commit subject to "fixes" section
- Clarify conditional that checks for generic driver
- Remove check duplicated inside the loop

Changes since v3:
- Only reprobe devices that could use the new driver
- Many code fixes

Changes since v2:
- Fix formatting

Changes since v1:
- Simplified after Alan Stern's comments and some clarifications from
Benjamin Tissoires.
