[PATCH] usb: gadget: f_hid: fixed NULL pointer dereference

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

 



Disconnecting and reconnecting the USB cable can lead to crashes
and a variety of kernel log spam.

The problem was found and reproduced on the Raspberry Pi. The patch
was created in Raspberry's own fork [1]. Since I was one of those
who discovered and diagnosed the problem [2], I propose this patch
for adoption to the kernel upstream with the consent of the author.
It has been tested since January 2021 and is guaranteed to fix
the described problem without breaking anything.
