Subject: [PATCH 6.18.y 1/2] usb: iowarrior: remove inherent race with minor number
Date: Sun, 19 Jul 2026 10:26:21 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260719142622.4094754-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2026071455-frostily-swimsuit-a10b@gregkh>
From: Oliver Neukum <oneukum@suse.com>
[ Upstream commit 56dd29088c9d9510c48a8ebad2465248fde36551 ]
The driver saves the minor number it gets upon registration
in its descriptor for debugging purposes. However, there is
inevitably a window between registration and saving the correct
minor in a descriptor. During this window the debugging output
will be wrong.
As wrong debug output is worse than no debug output, just
remove it.
