This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
xhci: Don't add a virt_dev to the devs array before it's fully
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.

Subject: xhci: Don't add a virt_dev to the devs array before it's fully
allocated
Avoid null pointer dereference if some function is walking through the
devs array accessing members of a new virt_dev that is mid allocation.
Add the virt_dev to xhci->devs[i] _after_ the virt_device and all its
members are properly allocated.
issue found by KASAN: null-ptr-deref in xhci_find_slot_id_by_port
"Quick analysis suggests that xhci_alloc_virt_device() is not mutex
protected. If so, there is a time frame where xhci->devs[slot_id] is set
but not fully initialized. Specifically, xhci->devs[i]->udev can be NULL."
