[PATCH] usb: core: Add error handling in usb_reset_device for autoresume failure
Posted by Wentao Liang 9 months, 4 weeks ago
In usb_reset_device(),  the function continues execution and
calls usb_autosuspend_device() after usb_autosuspend_device fails.

To fix this, add error handling for usb_autoresume_device()
and return the error code immediately. This ensures that
usb_autosuspend_device() is not called when usb_autoresume_device()
fails, maintaining device state consistency.

This can only fail if the device needs to be physically
resumed. In that case you called usb_reset_device() while
you weren't supposed to. The purpose of the call is to keep
the counter elevated in order to disable runtime power management
temporarily.

The code is older than helpers to elevate the count. The correct
fix would be to use them rather than handle an error that cannot
happen.

Have you ever seen this function fail?

if (ret) please.

Also, how was this tested?  How was it found?

thanks,
