Subject: [PATCH] usbmon binary format reader loses synchronization
Date: Thu, 13 Nov 2008 13:59:45 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20081113125945.GA10450@zaphod.peppercon.de> (raw)

Hello Pete,

there's a bug in the usbmon binary reader: When using read() to fetch
the packets and a packet's data is partially read the next read call
will once again return up to len_cap bytes of data. The b_read counter
is not regarded when determining the remaining chunk size.

When dumping USB data with "cat /dev/usbmon0 > usbmon.trace" while
reading from a USB storage device and analyzing the dump file
afterwards it will get out of sync after a couple of packets.

Cheers,
Ingo
