[PATCH] USB: debugging code shouldn't alter control flow

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

 



People have complained that debugging code shouldn't alter the flow of
control; it should restrict itself to printing out warnings and error
messages.  Bowing to popular opinion, this patch (as1518) changes the
debugging checks in usb_submit_urb() to follow this guideline.
