usb: misc: uss720: properly clean up reference in uss720_probe()

2026-03-11T15:17:12+00:00

If get_1284_register() fails, the usb device reference count is incorrect and needs to be properly dropped before returning. That will happen when the kref is dropped in the call to destroy_priv(), so jump to that error path instead of returning directly.

treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types

2026-02-21T09:02:28+00:00

This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union object instances: Single allocations: kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...) Array allocations: kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...) Flex array allocations: kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...) (where TYPE may also be *VAR) The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning "TYPE *". Signed-off-by: Kees Cook

usb: misc: uss720: check for incompatible versions of the Belkin F5U002

2024-04-04T15:07:48+00:00

The incompatible device in my possession has a sticker that says "F5U002 Rev 2" and "P80453-B", and lsusb identifies it as "050d:0002 Belkin Components IEEE-1284 Controller". There is a bug report from 2007 from Michael Trausch who was seeing the exact same errors that I saw in 2024 trying to use this cable.

usb: misc: uss720: add support for another variant of the Belkin F5U002

2024-04-04T15:07:48+00:00

This device is a gray USB parallel port adapter with "F5U002" imprinted on the plastic and a sticker that says both "F5U002" and "P80453-A". It's identified in lsusb as "05ab:1001 In-System Design BAYI Printer Class Support". It's subtly different from the other gray cable I have that has "F5U002 Rev 2" and "P80453-B" on its sticker and device ID 050d:0002. The uss720 driver appears to work flawlessly with this device, although the device evidently does not support ECP.

usb: misc: fix improper handling of refcount in uss720_probe()

2022-04-21T16:57:31+00:00

usb_put_dev shouldn't be called when uss720_probe succeeds because of priv->usbdev. At the same time, priv->usbdev shouldn't be set to NULL before destroy_priv in uss720_disconnect because usb_put_dev is in destroy_priv. Fix this by moving priv->usbdev = NULL after usb_put_dev.
