From c2e819be6a5c7f34344926b4bd7e3dfca58cf48a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Melbin K Mathew Date: Thu, 9 Jul 2026 21:56:22 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] usb: gadget: printer: fix infinite loop in printer_read() printer_read() uses the same variable for the requested copy size and the number of bytes actually copied to user space. copy_to_user() returns the number of bytes not copied, so when it fails to copy anything, the computed copied length becomes zero. In that case len, buf, current_rx_bytes and current_rx_buf are left unchanged. If RX data is available and the user buffer remains unwritable, the read loop can repeat indefinitely. Track the copied length separately and return -EFAULT, or the number of bytes already copied, if an iteration makes no progress.
