kzalloc with spinlock held, should preferably be moved outside lock, otherwise should use GFP_ATOMIC

Thanks for pointing this out. I realize this patch is incorrect and it
is non-ideal to include many codes unrelated to xhci->devs[slot_id]
within the lock.

xhci_check_maxpacket() called here can't be called with spinlock held

It appears that xhci_check_maxpacket() might potentially lead to a
deadlock later if a spinlock is held. Is this the concern you were
referring to? If not, please let me know if there are any other
potential issues that I may have missed, thanks!

xhci_check_maxpacket() will allocate memory, wait for completion, and use the same lock,
so there are several issues here.

I actually think we shouldn't call xhci_check_maxpacket() at all while queuing urbs.

usb core knows when there was max packet size mismatch during enumeration.
I think we should add a hook to the hcd that usb core can call in these cases

I moved the max packet checks away from xhci_urb_enqueue() and fixed up the locking.

I can't trigger the original issue, but I tested it by setting incorrect initial max packet
size values.

If you have the chance to test this with your setup I'd appreciate it.

patches found here:

I'll add them to this thread as well
