3.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Alan Stern <stern@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 1633682053a7ee8058e10c76722b9b28e97fb73f upstream. Using KASAN, Dmitry found a bug in the rh_call_control() routine: If buffer allocation fails, the routine returns immediately without unlinking its URB from the control endpoint, eventually leading to linked-list corruption. This patch fixes the problem by jumping to the end of the routine (where the URB is unlinked) when an allocation failure occurs.
