The patch titled USB: fix a bug in usb_start_wait_urb has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is usb-fix-a-bug-in-usb_start_wait_urb.patch *** Remember to use Documentation/SubmitChecklist when testing your code *** See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: USB: fix a bug in usb_start_wait_urb From: Alan Stern <stern@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> This patch (as941) fixes a bug recently added to the USB synchronous API. The status of a completed URB must be preserved separately across a completion callback. Also, the actual_length value isn't available until after the URB has fully completed.
