The problem was in drivers/usb/core/config.c in function usb_parse_interface:
 ---
 num_ep = num_ep_orig = alt->desc.bNumEndpoints;
 ...
 len = sizeof(struct usb_host_endpoint) * num_ep;
 alt->endpoint = kzalloc(len, GFP_KERNEL);
 ---

 num_ep can be 0, as it was in my case, so following patch makes this
 situation more obvious
 and clear.

Well, the whitespace was damaged, but the idea looks sane.  Care to
respin this?

However, what kind of device do you have that you have no endpoints for
an interface?  Why have the interface then?

thanks,

greg k-h



Hi Greg,

I have seen Philips Audio devices where the chip has multiple interfaces where each one specifies a different size of isoc endpoints (for different playback/in speeds). In those chips an interface with no endpoints is the default, so the system does not grab bandwidth until the device is set up and ready to use.

Regards, Steve.
