3.16.55-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Mathias Nyman <mathias.nyman@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 5d9b70f7d52eb14bb37861c663bae44de9521c35 upstream. 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."
