If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From d9c78e9738ccd0017b10b8f44462aafb61904a4a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Adam Lee <adam8157@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 10 Jul 2013 10:02:12 +0800 Subject: Bluetooth: fix wrong use of PTR_ERR() in btusb From: Adam Lee <adam8157@xxxxxxxxx> commit d9c78e9738ccd0017b10b8f44462aafb61904a4a upstream. PTR_ERR() returns a signed long type value which is limited by IS_ERR(), it must be a negative number whose range is [-MAX_ERRNO, 0). The bug here returns negative numbers as error codes, then check it by "if (ret < 0)", but -PTR_ERR() is actually positive. The wrong use here leads to failure as below, even panic.
