3.16.42-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Johan Hovold <johan@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 91a1ff4d53c5184d383d0baeeaeab6f9736f2ff3 upstream. The interrupt URB was submitted on probe but never stopped on probe errors. This can lead to use-after-free issues in the completion handler when accessing the freed usb-serial struct: Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 6b6b6be7 ...
