[PATCH] USB: EHCI: fix NULL pointer dererence in HCDs that use HCD_LOCAL_MEM

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

 



If we use the HCD_LOCAL_MEM flag and dma_declare_coherent_memory() to
enforce the host controller's local memory utilization we also need to
disable native scatter-gather support, otherwise hcd_alloc_coherent() in
map_urb_for_dma() is called with urb->transfer_buffer == NULL, that
triggers a NULL pointer dereference.

We can also consider to add a WARN_ON() and return an error code to
better catch this problem in the future.
