[35/55] USB: Do not pass negative length to snoop_urb()

From: Greg KH
Date: Fri Mar 25 2011 - 20:18:12 EST


2.6.37-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

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

From: Michal Sojka <sojkam1@xxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 9d02b42614149ebccf12c9c580601ed01bd83070 upstream.

When `echo Y > /sys/module/usbcore/parameters/usbfs_snoop` and
usb_control_msg() returns error, a lot of kernel memory is dumped to dmesg
until unhandled kernel paging request occurs.
