> This patch fixes 2 bugs in the USB-IrDA code. > > The first one is a buffer overrun in the RX path. We are now using > IRDA_SKB_MAX_MTU when initializing the Rx URB. > > The second one is a potential stack recursion when unplugging the USB dongle. > It seems that first we get the Rx URB with a generic error code, and after a > while the Rx URB comes again with a "disconnect" error code. > Since we are resubmitting the Rx URB immediately after receiving the first > error one, we might enter an endless loop. > > When getting an error Rx URB, the patch defers the Rx URB resubmitting so > that it gives us a chance to catch the disconnect one, in case the dongle has > juts been unplugged. > > Tested against 2.6.16-rc2. > > Patch from Jean Tourrilhes > > Signed-off-by: Jean Tourrilhes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Signed-off-by: Samuel Ortiz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Applied, thanks Samuel. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
