The problem is in cdc_ncm_bind_common(). It seems to leave dangling interface data pointers in some cases, and then branches just to "error" so that they don't get cleared back out. This bypasses the protection present in cdc_ncm_disconnect() meant to avoid this problem. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-usb" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
