Re: [PATCH] USB: don't read past config->interface[] if usb_control_msg() fails in usb_reset_configuration()

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

 



After the loop `for (i = 0; i < config->desc.bNumInterfaces; i++)' if no
break occurred, i equals config->desc.bNumInterfaces. so if
usb_control_msg() failed then after goto reset_old_alts we read from
config->interface[config->desc.bNumInterfaces].

Are you really sure this is better? If usb_hcd_alloc_bandwidth() fails,
in the loop _before_ the reset_old_alts label, don't we still have to
reinstate the old alternate settings for that usb_interface
config->interface[i]? This was what my initial patch tried to do.

Alternatively usb_hcd_alloc_bandwidth() could undo what it does if an
error occurs there, then I think i could be decremented.

IOW isn't this the proper fix?
