Subject: [PATCH] Fixes buffer allocation size and the actual packet length;
Date: Tue, 26 Apr 2016 21:50:24 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1461696624-5373-2-git-send-email-petkan@mip-labs.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1461696624-5373-1-git-send-email-petkan@mip-labs.com>

usb_fill_bulk_urb() receives buffer length parameter 8 bytes larger
than what's allocated by alloc_skb(); This seems to be a problem with
older (pegasus usb-1.1) devices, which may silently return more data
than the maximal packet length.

Going through the chip's documentation i figured out the ethernet
packet is appended with 4 bytes of status data.  That's why we now
subtract 4 instead of 8 bytes from the reported packet length.
