[PATCH 4.4 05/43] USB: serial: ch341: fix type promotion bug in ch341_control_in()

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

 



4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit e33eab9ded328ccc14308afa51b5be7cbe78d30b upstream.

The "r" variable is an int and "bufsize" is an unsigned int so the
comparison is type promoted to unsigned.  If usb_control_msg() returns a
negative that is treated as a high positive value and the error handling
doesn't work.
