If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 5d666a1400db78d496c2f5eb1faf33c8b4f53d63 Author: Brooke Basile <brookebasile@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri Sep 11 03:14:27 2020 -0400 ath9k: hif_usb: fix race condition between usb_get_urb() and usb_kill_anchored_urbs() [ Upstream commit 03fb92a432ea5abe5909bca1455b7e44a9380480 ] Calls to usb_kill_anchored_urbs() after usb_kill_urb() on multiprocessor systems create a race condition in which usb_kill_anchored_urbs() deallocates the URB before the completer callback is called in usb_kill_urb(), resulting in a use-after-free. To fix this, add proper lock protection to usb_kill_urb() calls that can possibly run concurrently with usb_kill_anchored_urbs().
