The driver would return success and leave the port structures half-initialised if any of the register accesses during probe fails. This would specifically leave the port control urb unallocated, something which could trigger a NULL pointer dereference on interrupt events. Fortunately the interrupt implementation is completely broken and has never even been enabled... Note that the zero-length-enable register write used to set the zle-flag for all ports is moved to attach.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
