This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled usb: gadget: function: fix dangling pnp_string in f_printer.c to the 5.15-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: usb-gadget-function-fix-dangling-pnp_string-in-f_pri.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.15 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 1430f8cf246a60c094d4abf349f003f312d1adfb Author: Albert Briscoe <albertsbriscoe@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Sun Sep 11 15:37:55 2022 -0700 usb: gadget: function: fix dangling pnp_string in f_printer.c [ Upstream commit 24b7ba2f88e04800b54d462f376512e8c41b8a3c ] When opts->pnp_string is changed with configfs, new memory is allocated for the string. It does not, however, update dev->pnp_string, even though the memory is freed. When rquesting the string, the host then gets old or corrupted data rather than the new string. The ieee 1284 id string should be allowed to change while the device is connected. The bug was introduced in commit fdc01cc286be ("usb: gadget: printer: Remove pnp_string static buffer"), which changed opts->pnp_string from a char[] to a char*. This patch changes dev->pnp_string from a char* to a char** pointing to opts->pnp_string.
