This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled usb: host: xhci: Fix possible wild pointer when handling abort to my usb git tree which can be found at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/usb.git in the usb-linus branch. The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree (usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.) The patch will hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the next -rc kernel release. If you have any questions about this process, please let me know. >From 2a7cfdf37b7c08ac29df4c62ea5ccb01474b6597 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Baolin Wang <baolin.wang@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 3 Jan 2017 18:28:47 +0200 Subject: usb: host: xhci: Fix possible wild pointer when handling abort command When current command was supposed to be aborted, host will free the command in handle_cmd_completion() function. But it might be still referenced by xhci->current_cmd, which need to set NULL.
