staging: usbip: cleanup and fix of vhci_hub_status

2012-06-14T00:22:57+00:00

Changed setting the status bits to a byte-oriented approach. Number of
written status bits is now based on VHCI_NPORT, instead of casting
status buffer to a long. This fixes a stack corruption bug on 64-bit
based architectures, and potential byte order / endianness related
issues.

In addition updated function comments, and log statements.

staging: usbip: fix potential segfault because of unchecked return value of strchr.

2012-04-10T16:47:06+00:00

This doesn't happen with the usbip virtual hci module, but another
module wanting to interface with this user space code could cause a
seg-fault by sending data without newlines.

staging: usbip: fix the usage of kthread_stop()

2012-04-10T16:28:04+00:00

stub_shutdown_connection() and vhci_shutdown_connection() use
task_is_dead() before kthread_stop(). This buys nothing and wrong.
kthread_stop() is fine even if this thread is dead. However, if it
is dead nothing protects this task_struct, we shouldn't touch this
memory.

Change the code to do the necessary get_task_struct/put_task_struct.

This patch assumes that

	- xxx_shutdown_connection() is always called, so we can't
	  leak the task_struct.

	- kthread_stop_put() can't be called twice on the same task.
