4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Ioan-Adrian Ratiu <adi@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 1d0f953086f090a022f2c0e1448300c15372db46 upstream. Commit 16200948d83 ("ALSA: usb-audio: Fix race at stopping the stream") was incomplete causing another more severe kernel panic, so it got reverted. This fixes both the original problem and its fallout kernel race/crash. The original fix is to move the endpoint member NULL clearing logic inside wait_clear_urbs() so the irq triggering the urb completion doesn't call retire_capture/playback_urb() after the NULL clearing and generate a panic. However this creates a new race between snd_usb_endpoint_start()'s call to wait_clear_urbs() and the irq urb completion handler which again calls retire_capture/playback_urb() leading to a new NULL dereference. We keep the EP deactivation code in snd_usb_endpoint_start() because removing it will break the EP reference counting (see [1] [2] for info), however we don't need the "can_sleep" mechanism anymore because a new function was introduced (snd_usb_endpoint_sync_pending_stop()) which synchronizes pending stops and gets called inside the pcm prepare callback. It also makes sense to remove can_sleep because it was also removed from deactivate_urbs() signature in [3] so we benefit from more simplification.
