Subject: Re: [PATCH] USB: don't read past config->interface[] if usb_control_msg() fails in usb_reset_configuration()
Date: Tue, 09 Feb 2010 17:01:53 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4B7186F1.808@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <Pine.LNX.4.44L0.1002091010100.1665-100000@iolanthe.rowland.org>

After the loop `for (i = 0; i < config->desc.bNumInterfaces; i++)' if no
break occurred, i equals config->desc.bNumInterfaces. so if
usb_control_msg() failed then after goto reset_old_alts we read from
config->interface[config->desc.bNumInterfaces].
We can safely decrement i as well if the break occurred.
