From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Dan Carpenter Date: Wed, 16 Dec 2015 11:06:37 +0000 Subject: [patch] USB: ipaq.c: fix a timeout loop Message-Id: <20151216110637.GA21018@mwanda> List-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: kernel-janitors@vger.kernel.org The code expects the loop to end with "retries" set to zero but, because it is a post-op, it will end set to -1. I have fixed this by moving the decrement inside the loop. Fixes: 014aa2a3c32e ('USB: ipaq: minor ipaq_open() cleanup.')
