Sarah, I looked through the xhci-hcd driver.  There does appear to be a
leak in xhci-ring.c:handle_tx_event().  The routine looks like this:

			/* Leave the TD around for the reset endpoint function
			 * to use(but only if it's not a control endpoint,
			 * since we already queued the Set TR dequeue pointer
			 * command for stalled control endpoints).
			 */
			if (usb_endpoint_xfer_control(&urb->ep->desc) ||
				(trb_comp_code != COMP_STALL &&
					trb_comp_code != COMP_BABBLE))
				xhci_urb_free_priv(xhci, urb_priv);

			...

			/* EHCI, UHCI, and OHCI always unconditionally set the
			 * urb->status of an isochronous endpoint to 0.
			 */
			if (usb_pipetype(urb->pipe) == PIPE_ISOCHRONOUS)
				status = 0;
			usb_hcd_giveback_urb(bus_to_hcd(urb->dev->bus), urb, status);

If the condition on the first "if" statement fails, urb_priv won't be 
deallocated.  It needs something like

			if (...)
				xhci_urb_free_priv(xhci, urb_priv);
+			else
+				kfree(urb_priv);

Martin, can you tell if adding these two lines fixes the problem?

Also, the comment is wrong.  urb->status is not set to 0
unconditionally for isochonrous endpoints in [eou]hcd-hcd.  If any of
the iso packets gets a nonzero status then urb->status is set to one of
those values, not to 0.
