This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled

usbip: Fix uninitialized symbol 'nents' in stub_recv_cmd_submit()

to my usb git tree which can be found at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/usb.git
in the usb-testing branch.

The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree (usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)

The patch will be merged to the usb-next branch sometime soon, after it passes testing, and the merge window is open.

If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

Smatch reported that nents is not initialized and used in stub_recv_cmd_submit(). nents is currently initialized by sgl_alloc() and used to allocate multiple URBs when host controller doesn't support scatter-gather DMA. The use of uninitialized nents means that buf_len is zero and use_sg is true. But buffer length should not be zero when an URB uses scatter-gather DMA.

To prevent this situation, add the conditional that checks buf_len and use_sg. And move the use of nents right after the sgl_alloc() to avoid the use of uninitialized nents.

If the error occurs, it adds SDEV_EVENT_ERROR_MALLOC and stub_priv will be released by stub event handler and connection will be shut down.
