From 64d65872f96e2a754caa12ef48949c314384bd9f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alan Stern Date: Fri, 18 Jun 2010 10:16:33 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] USB: fix oops in usb_sg_init() This patch (as1401) fixes a bug in usb_sg_init() that can cause an invalid pointer dereference. An inner loop reuses some local variables in an unsafe manner, so new variables are introduced.
