Btw, not related to your patch, but I start think, that this check:


if (!pIo_buf) {
DBG_88E("[%s] pIo_buf == NULL\n", __func__);
status = -ENOMEM;
goto release_mutex;
}

Should be wrapped as

if (WARN_ON(unlikely(!pIo_buf)) {
...
}

Since usb_vendor_req_buf is initialized in ->probe() and I can't see
possible calltrace, which can cause zeroing this pointer.

Something _completely_ wrong is going on if usb_vendor_req_buf is NULL,
and we should complain loud about it. What do you think?


With regards,
Pavel Skripkin
