This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled usb: gadget: f_fs: data_len used before properly set to my usb git tree which can be found at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/usb.git in the usb-testing branch. The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree (usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.) The patch will be merged to the usb-next branch sometime soon, after it passes testing, and the merge window is open. If you have any questions about this process, please let me know. >From 4833a94eb383f5b22775077ff92ddaae90440921 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Fei Yang <fei.yang@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 12 Jun 2019 15:13:26 -0700 Subject: usb: gadget: f_fs: data_len used before properly set The following line of code in function ffs_epfile_io is trying to set flag io_data->use_sg in case buffer required is larger than one page. io_data->use_sg = gadget->sg_supported && data_len > PAGE_SIZE; However at this point of time the variable data_len has not been set to the proper buffer size yet. The consequence is that io_data->use_sg is always set regardless what buffer size really is, because the condition (data_len > PAGE_SIZE) is effectively an unsigned comparison between -EINVAL and PAGE_SIZE which would always result in TRUE.
