Subject: [PATCH 6.1.y 1/2] usb: iowarrior: remove inherent race with minor number
Date: Sun, 19 Jul 2026 11:28:58 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260719152859.190429-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2026071456-chihuahua-thyself-7200@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.
