I have a weird usb device which doesn't a normal connector, so there's no guarantee that the pins will get removed in the correct order (data pins first, then ground and vcc). I wouldn't be mad if there was a weird error or something at connect/disconnect, but in this case I can actually get a kernel panic. Part of the panic text: [ 143.654956] [<c044e818>] (dwc2_queue_transaction) from [<c044f3b4>] (dwc2_hcd_queue_transactions+0x24c/0x31c) [ 143.664868] [<c044f3b4>] (dwc2_hcd_queue_transactions) from [<c044f4dc>] (_dwc2_hcd_clear_tt_buffer_complete+0x58/0x68) [ 143.675648] [<c044f4dc>] (_dwc2_hcd_clear_tt_buffer_complete) from [<c04347ec>] (hub_tt_work+0x130/0x164) [ 143.685214] [<c04347ec>] (hub_tt_work) from [<c013768c>] (process_one_work+0x258/0x3c0) [ 143.693217] [<c013768c>] (process_one_work) from [<c0138848>] (worker_thread+0x234/0x38c) [ 143.701394] [<c0138848>] (worker_thread) from [<c013e3dc>] (kthread+0xe4/0xfc) [ 143.708618] [<c013e3dc>] (kthread) from [<c0106278>] (ret_from_fork+0x14/0x20) I traced it down to a dereference of qh(chan->qh->ping_state) in dwc2_queue_transaction. At usb device disconnect, dwc2_hcd_cleanup_channels gets called, which sets qh to NULL, but dwc2_queue_transaction still manages to get called after that. I can reproduce this in an isolated manner on my rk3288 board with an FTDI/prolific device, having the usb pins easily disconnectable(independently), then playing with the vcc pin while leaving the data lines connected. While my patch is probably not a proper fix for this issue, it's pretty harmless where it is (and it's consistent with other checks in there). I also hope this opens up discussions on this issue.
