This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled xhci: Fix NULL pointer dereference when cleaning up streams for 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 4b895868bb2da60a386a17cde3bf9ecbc70c79f4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mathias Nyman <mathias.nyman@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 20 Jul 2017 14:48:26 +0300 Subject: xhci: Fix NULL pointer dereference when cleaning up streams for removed host This off by one in stream_id indexing caused NULL pointer dereference and soft lockup on machines with USB attached SCSI devices connected to a hotpluggable xhci controller. The code that cleans up pending URBs for dead hosts tried to dereference a stream ring at the invalid stream_id 0. ep->stream_info->stream_rings[0] doesn't point to a ring. Start looping stream_id from 1 like in all the other places in the driver, and check that the ring exists before trying to kill URBs on it.
