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.

From: Mathias Nyman mathias.nyman@linux.intel.com Date: Fri, 8 Dec 2017 18:10:05 +0200 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."
