[Linux-kernel-mentees] [PATCH 0/4] net: usb: avoid using usb_control_msg() directly

[Himadri Pandya]

A recent bug-fix shaded light on possible incorrect use of
usb_control_msg() without proper error check. This resulted in
introducing new usb core api wrapper functions usb_control_msg_send()
and usb_control_msg_recv() by Greg KH. This patch series continue the
clean-up using the new functions.

Himadri Pandya (4):
  net: usbnet: use usb_control_msg_recv() and usb_control_msg_send()
  net: sierra_net: use usb_control_msg_recv()
  net: usb: rtl8150: use usb_control_msg_recv() and
    usb_control_msg_send()
  net: rndis_host: use usb_control_msg_recv() and usb_control_msg_send()

[Linux-kernel-mentees] [PATCH 1/4] net: usbnet: use usb_control_msg_recv() and usb_control_msg_send()

[Himadri Pandya]

Potential incorrect use of usb_control_msg() has resulted in new wrapper
functions to enforce its correct usage with proper error check. Hence
use these new wrapper functions instead of calling usb_control_msg()
directly.

Now there is no real need for these wrapper functions at all, except for
the debugging which I doubt anyone needs anymore.

So how about just deleting these and calling the real function instead?

[Linux-kernel-mentees] [PATCH 2/4] net: sierra_net: use usb_control_msg_recv()

[Himadri Pandya]

The new usb api function usb_control_msg_recv() nicely wrapps
usb_control_msg() with proper error check. Hence use it instead of
directly calling usb_control_msg().

[PATCH 2/4] net: sierra_net: use usb_control_msg_recv()

[Himadri Pandya]

The new usb api function usb_control_msg_recv() nicely wrapps
usb_control_msg() with proper error check. Hence use it instead of
directly calling usb_control_msg().

[Linux-kernel-mentees] [PATCH 3/4] net: usb: rtl8150: use usb_control_msg_recv() and usb_control_msg_send()

[Himadri Pandya]

Many usage of usb_control_msg() do not have proper error check on return
value leaving scope for bugs on short reads. New usb_control_msg_recv()
and usb_control_msg_send() nicely wraps usb_control_msg() with proper
error check. Hence use the wrappers instead of calling usb_control_msg()

GFP_NOIO is used here for a reason. You need to use this helper
while in contexts of error recovery and runtime PM.

This internally uses kmemdup() with GFP_KERNEL.
You cannot make this change. The API does not support it.
I am afraid we will have to change the API first, before more
such changes are done.

I would suggest dropping the whole series for now.

Hi,

sorry if you concluded that the patch was stupid. That was not my
intent. It was the best the API allowed for. If an API makes it
easy to make a mistake, the problem is with the API, not the developer.

I meant that it was stupid to change it without properly understanding
the significance of GFP_NOIO in this context.

So now, do we re-write the wrapper functions with flag passed as a parameter?

I meant that it was stupid to change it without properly understanding
the significance of GFP_NOIO in this context.

So now, do we re-write the wrapper functions with flag passed as a parameter?

Hi,

I hope I set you in CC for a patch set doing exactly that.

Do not let me or other maintainers discourage you from writing patches.
Look at it this way. Had you not written this patch, I would not have
looked into the matter. Patches are supposed to be reviewed.
If you want additional information, just ask. We do not want
people discouraged from writing substantial patches.

	Regards
		Oliver

Hi,

submitted. The problem is those usages that are very hard to trace.
I'd dislike to just slab GFP_NOIO on them for no obvious reason.

Do you mean you submitted a patch for usb_control_msg_recv() (because i don't 
see it on linux-netdev) or i'm reading this all wrong?

retval here is never going to be positive, right?  So I don't think this
patch is correct :(

You lost the error message that the previous call had if something went

The wrapper returns the error so thought that might work instead. But
yes, the old msg is better.

Anyways, this series is dropped :).
