In functions itd_complete & sitd_complete, a pointer by name stream may get dereferenced after freeing it, when iso_stream_put is called with stream->refcount = 2. Hence fixing it. Signed-off-by: Venu Byravarasu <vbyravarasu@xxxxxxxxxx> --- In Patchset 1, modified parameter of iso_stream_put() to handle the crash. However the crash can be handled without modifying the function parameter, by just adding a local variable in the functions that call iso_stream_put(). Hence implemented it in the current patch. drivers/usb/host/ehci-sched.c | 16 ++++++++++------ 1 files changed, 10 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/usb/host/ehci-sched.c b/drivers/usb/host/ehci-sched.c index 33182c6..20d0c38 100644 --- a/drivers/usb/host/ehci-sched.c +++ b/drivers/usb/host/ehci-sched.c @@ -1715,6 +1715,7 @@ itd_complete ( struct ehci_iso_stream *stream = itd->stream; struct usb_device *dev; unsigned retval = false; + u32 stream_ref_count = 0; /* for each uframe with a packet */ for (uframe = 0; uframe < 8; uframe++) { @@ -1783,7 +1784,8 @@ itd_complete ( dev->devpath, stream->bEndpointAddress & 0x0f, (stream->bEndpointAddress & USB_DIR_IN) ?
