This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled USB: hub: fix up early-exit pathway in hub_activate to the 4.7-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-hub-fix-up-early-exit-pathway-in-hub_activate.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.7 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From ca5cbc8b02f9b21cc8cd1ab36668763ec34f9ee8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alan Stern <stern@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 5 Aug 2016 11:49:45 -0400 Subject: USB: hub: fix up early-exit pathway in hub_activate From: Alan Stern <stern@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit ca5cbc8b02f9b21cc8cd1ab36668763ec34f9ee8 upstream. The early-exit pathway in hub_activate, added by commit e50293ef9775 ("USB: fix invalid memory access in hub_activate()") needs improvement. It duplicates code that is already present at the end of the subroutine, and it neglects to undo the effect of a usb_autopm_get_interface_no_resume() call. This patch fixes both problems by making the early-exit pathway jump directly to the end of the subroutine. It simplifies the code at the end by merging two conditionals that actually test the same condition although they appear different: If type < HUB_INIT3 then type must be either HUB_INIT2 or HUB_INIT, and it can't be HUB_INIT because in that case the subroutine would have exited earlier.
