It is indeed Ivy Bridge platform.

Endpoints should be deleted from bw_table list, and xhci_virt_devices
should be freed already before xhci_mem_cleanup() is called if all goes well.

Normally endpoints are deleted from bw_table list during usb_disconnect()

usb_disconnect()
   ...
   usb_hcd_alloc_bandwidth(dev, NULL, NULL, NULL);
     hcd->driver->drop_endpoint()  // flags endpoint to be dropped
     hcd->driver->check_bandwidth()
     ->xhci_check_bandwidth()
       xhci_configure_endpoint()
         xhci_reserve_bandwidth()  // only for Panther Point
           xhci_drop_ep_from_interval_table()

But to avoid queuing new commands to a host in XHCI_STATE_DYING or
XHCI_STATE_REMOVING state we return early, not calling xhci_reserve_bandwidth().

Indeed when I remove that early return in xhci_check_bandwidth(), the
crash is gone. What's the proper solution?


We could probably just delete the endpoint from the bw list when freeing the device and
endpoints. Currently we just print that "endpoint x not removed from BW list!" message

does the below help?
