From stern@rowland.harvard.edu Thu Mar 23 12:07:29 2006 Date: Thu, 23 Mar 2006 15:07:25 -0500 (EST) From: Alan Stern To: Greg KH Subject: USB: g_file_storage: add comment about buffer allocation Message-ID: This patch (as664) adds a comment to file_storage.c, noting that the driver is slightly non-portable because it assumes that a buffer allocated for a bulk-in endpoint will also be useable for a bulk-out endpoint.
