[PATCH 3.11 23/25] usb: fail on usb_hub_create_port_device() errors

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon Nov 18 2013 - 13:55:00 EST


3.11-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Krzysztof Mazur <krzysiek@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit e58547eb9561a8a72d46e2d411090a614d33ac0e upstream.

Ignoring usb_hub_create_port_device() errors cause later NULL pointer
deference when uninitialized hub->ports[i] entries are dereferenced
after port memory allocation error.
