The rest possible calling routine might be xhci_resume->xhci_init->xhci_mem_init, and xhci->cmd_ring was cleaned in xhci_mem_cleanup before xhci_mem_init returned -ENOMEM. During phase two, systemd was tring to hibernate again and called xhci_suspend, then xhci_clear_command_ring dereferenced xhci->cmd_ring which was already NULL.
Any comments on the questions I had on the first version of the patch? xhci_mem_init() failing with -ENOMEM looks like the real problem here. Are we really running out of memory? does kmemleak say anything? Any chance you could look into where exactly xhci_mem_init() fails as xhci_mem_init() always returns -ENOMEM on failure?
So if xhci->cmd_ring is NULL, xhci_clear_command_ring just return.
This hides the problem more than solves it. Root cause is still unknown Thanks Mathias
