[1/3] usb-serial: fix crash when sub-driver updates firmware

[Greg KH]

[-- Attachment #1: usb-serial-fix-crash-when-sub-driver-updates-firmware.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1426 bytes --]

2.6.27-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------
From: Alan Stern <stern@rowland.harvard.edu>

commit 0a3c8549ea7e94d74a41096d42bc6cdf43d183bf upstream.

This patch (as1244) fixes a crash in usb-serial that occurs when a
sub-driver returns a positive value from its attach method, indicating
that new firmware was loaded and the device will disconnect and
reconnect.  The usb-serial core then skips the step of registering the
port devices; when the disconnect occurs, the attempt to unregister
the ports fails dramatically.

This problem shows up with Keyspan devices and it might affect others
as well.

When the attach method returns a positive value, the patch sets
num_ports to 0.  This tells usb_serial_disconnect() not to try
unregistering any of the ports; instead they are cleaned up by
destroy_serial().

[2/3] SCSI: Fix protection scsi_data_buffer leak

From: Martin K. Petersen <martin.petersen@oracle.com>

commit b4c2554d40ceac130a8d062eaa8838ed22158c45 upstream.

We would leak a scsi_data_buffer if the free_list command was of the
protected variety.
