At an error path to release URB buffers and contexts, the driver might hit a NULL dererence for u->urb pointer, when u->buffer_size has been already set but the actual URB allocation failed. Fix it by adding the NULL check of urb. Also, make sure that buffer_size is cleared after the error path or the close. Cc: <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Reported-by: Sabri N.
