[PATCH 4.4 051/113] USB: handle NULL config in usb_find_alt_setting()

[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: Alan Stern <stern@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit c9a4cb204e9eb7fa7dfbe3f7d3a674fa530aa193 upstream.

usb_find_alt_setting() takes a pointer to a struct usb_host_config as
an argument; it searches for an interface with specified interface and
alternate setting numbers in that config.  However, it crashes if the
usb_host_config pointer argument is NULL.

Since this is a general-purpose routine, available for use in many
places, we want to to be more robust.  This patch makes it return NULL
whenever the config argument is NULL.
