When the host controller is not responding, all URBs queued to all
endpoints need to be killed. This can cause a kernel panic if we
dereference an invalid endpoint.
Fix this by using xhci_get_virt_ep() helper to find the endpoint and
checking if the endpoint is valid before dereferencing it.

xhci_get_virt_ep also adds check for slot_id == 0. It changes behaviour,
do we really want to skip that slot? Original code went from 0 to
MAX_HC_SLOTS-1.
It seems to be off by one to me. Am I missing anything?
slot_id 0 is always invalid, so this is a good change.
I see. Now reading more carefully:
#define HCS_MAX_SLOTS(p) (((p) >> 0) & 0xff)
#define MAX_HC_SLOTS 256
So the loop should go:
for (i = 1; i <= HCS_MAX_SLOTS(xhci->hcs_params1); i++)
yes
Also, what about passing ep directly to xhci_kill_endpoint_urbs
and do the check in xhci_hc_died? Not even compile tested:
passing ep to a function named kill_endpoint_urbs() sound like the
right thing to do, but as a generic change.
I think its a good idea to first do a targeted fix for this null pointer
issue that we can send to stable fist.
Agree. But I still do not understand the root cause. There is a check
for NULL xhci->devs[i] already, so patch does not add much more, except
for test for slot_id == 0. And the eps array is just array of
struct xhci_virt_ep, not a pointers to them, so &xhci->devs[i]->eps[j]
should be always valid pointer. However struct xhci_ring in each eps
is allocated and not protected by any lock here. Is that correct?
I think root cause is that freeing xhci->devs[i] and including rings isn't
protected by the lock, this happens in xhci_free_virt_device() called by
xhci_free_dev(), which in turn may be called by usbcore at any time
So xhci->devs[i] might just suddenly disappear
Patch just checks more often if xhci->devs[i] is valid, between every endpoint.
So the race between xhci_free_virt_device() and xhci_kill_endpoint_urbs()
doesn't trigger null pointer deref as easily.
Jimmy Hu,
Any chance you could try if the change below works for you instead of
using xhci_get_virt_ep().
I don't have a easy way to trigger the issue-
