Subject: [PATCH] usbcore: usb_set_configuration oops (NULL ptr dereference)
Date: Thu, 9 Mar 2006 14:10:49 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20060309131048.GL22994@quickstop.soohrt.org> (raw)
When trying to deconfigure a device via usb_set_configuration(dev, 0),
2.6.16-rc kernels after 55c527187c9d78f840b284d596a0b298bc1493af oops
with "Unable to handle NULL pointer dereference at...". This is due to
an unchecked dereference of cp in the power budget part.
