patch "usb: xhci: Bugfix for NULL pointer deference in xhci_endpoint_init()" added to usb-linus

[<gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled

    usb: xhci: Bugfix for NULL pointer deference in xhci_endpoint_init()

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.

Subject: usb: xhci: Bugfix for NULL pointer deference in xhci_endpoint_init()
 function

virt_dev->num_cached_rings counts on freed ring and is not updated
correctly. In xhci_free_or_cache_endpoint_ring() function, the free ring
is added into cache and then num_rings_cache is incremented as below:
		virt_dev->ring_cache[rings_cached] =
			virt_dev->eps[ep_index].ring;
		virt_dev->num_rings_cached++;
here, free ring pointer is added to a current index and then
index is incremented.
So current index always points to empty location in the ring cache.
For getting available free ring, current index should be decremented
first and then corresponding ring buffer value should be taken from ring
cache.

But In function xhci_endpoint_init(), the num_rings_cached index is
accessed before decrement.
		virt_dev->eps[ep_index].new_ring =
			virt_dev->ring_cache[virt_dev->num_rings_cached];
		virt_dev->ring_cache[virt_dev->num_rings_cached] = NULL;
		virt_dev->num_rings_cached--;
This is bug in manipulating the index of ring cache.
And it should be as below:
		virt_dev->num_rings_cached--;
		virt_dev->eps[ep_index].new_ring =
			virt_dev->ring_cache[virt_dev->num_rings_cached];
		virt_dev->ring_cache[virt_dev->num_rings_cached] = NULL;
