#1630943 — [PATCH v3] usb: misc: legousbtower: Fix buffers on stack

Allocate buffers on HEAP instead of STACK for local structures
that are to be received using usb_control_msg().

Signed-off-by: Maksim Salau <maksim.salau@gmail.com>

---
  Changes in v3:
   * rebased against usb-next;
   * removed Tested-by: Alfredo Rafael Vicente Boix <alviboi@gmail.com>;
   * removed Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org
     since this patch doesn't apply against v4.10.12
  Changes in v2:
   * made checkpatch happy with the format string passed to dev_info
     in tower_probe() (merged two parts into a single string literal);
   * changed commit message to better reflect location of the module;
     was: USB: legousbtower: Fix buffers on stack;
   * added Tested-by: Alfredo Rafael Vicente Boix <alviboi@gmail.com>
     and Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org

I added this back, as it matters, and your change from the previous
version was trivial.

I added this back as well :)

Thanks, Greg!

I was not sure about how strict are the rules about these tags.

Don't you need to free get_version_reply here?

Thank you very much, Heikki!

I was so focused on failure cases, that missed memory leak in the case
 when all calls succeeded.

I'll prepare a patch shortly to fix this.
