    USB: Fix unplug of device with active streams · b214f191
    Matthew Wilcox authored
    If I unplug a device while the UAS driver is loaded, I get an oops
    in usb_free_streams().  This is because usb_unbind_interface() calls
    usb_disable_interface() which calls usb_disable_endpoint() which sets
    ep_out and ep_in to NULL.  Then the UAS driver calls usb_pipe_endpoint()
    which returns a NULL pointer and passes an array of NULL pointers to
    usb_free_streams().
    
    I think the correct fix for this is to check for the NULL pointer
    in usb_free_streams() rather than making the driver check for this
    situation.  My original patch for this checked for dev->state ==
    USB_STATE_NOTATTACHED, but the call to usb_disable_interface() is
    conditional, so not all drivers would want this check.
    
    Note from Sarah Sharp: This patch does avoid a potential dereference,
    but the real fix (which will be implemented later) is to set the
    .soft_unbind flag in the usb_driver structure for the UAS driver, and
    all drivers that allocate streams.  The driver should free any streams
    when it is unbound from the interface.  This avoids leaking stream rings
    in the xHCI driver when usb_disable_interface() is called.
    
    This should be queued for stable trees back to 2.6.35.
