commit de28e469da upstream.
The usb_get_device_descriptor() routine reads the device descriptor
from the udev device and stores it directly in udev->descriptor. This
interface is error prone, because the USB subsystem expects in-memory
copies of a device's descriptors to be immutable once the device has
been initialized.
The interface is changed so that the device descriptor is left in a
kmalloc-ed buffer, not copied into the usb_device structure. A
pointer to the buffer is returned to the caller, who is then
responsible for kfree-ing it. The corresponding changes needed in the
various callers are fairly small.

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.
