Greg,

I've been talking with Dan Williams (intel) about this kind of issues [1]
and it seems my original assumptions are correct. Hence, this patch is not
useful and, in order to actually prevent speculation here we would need to
pass the address of pdev_nr and rhport into valid_port, otherwise there may
be speculation at drivers/usb/usbip/vhci_sysfs.c:235:

         if (!valid_port(pdev_nr, rhport))
                 return -EINVAL;

         hcd = platform_get_drvdata(vhcis[pdev_nr].pdev);

Ah, yes, sorry, you do need to pass the address through, my mistake
completely.  But the location for the checking is still the right place
to do it, so I was half-right :)


Yep. And that totally make sense.

I already sent v3:
