    xhci: Fix memory leak during failed enqueue. · d13565c1
    Sarah Sharp authored
    When the isochronous transfer support was introduced, and the xHCI driver
    switched to using urb->hcpriv to store an "urb_priv" pointer, a couple of
    memory leaks were introduced into the URB enqueue function in its error
    handling paths.
    
    xhci_urb_enqueue allocates urb_priv, but it doesn't free it if changing
    the control endpoint's max packet size fails or the bulk endpoint is in
    the middle of allocating or deallocating streams.
    
    xhci_urb_enqueue also doesn't free urb_priv if any of the four endpoint
    types' enqueue functions fail.  Instead, it expects those functions to
    free urb_priv if an error occurs.  However, the bulk, control, and
    interrupt enqueue functions do not free urb_priv if the endpoint ring is
    NULL.  It will, however, get freed if prepare_transfer() fails in those
    enqueue functions.
    
    Several of the error paths in the isochronous endpoint enqueue function
    also fail to free it.  xhci_queue_isoc_tx_prepare() doesn't free urb_priv
    if prepare_ring() indicates there is not enough room for all the
    isochronous TDs in this URB.  If individual isochronous TDs fail to be
    queued (perhaps due to an endpoint state change), urb_priv is also leaked.
    
    This argues that the freeing of urb_priv should be done in the function
    that allocated it, xhci_urb_enqueue.
    
    This patch looks rather ugly, but refactoring the code will have to wait
    because this patch needs to be backported to stable kernels.
    
    This patch should be backported to kernels as old as 2.6.36.
