[PATCH 8/8] USB: serial: fix minor-number allocation

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

 



Due to a missing upper bound, invalid minor numbers could be assigned to
ports. Such devices would later fail to register, but let's catch this
early as intended and avoid having devices with only a subset of their
ports registered (potentially the empty set).
