patch "USB: legousbtower: fix potential NULL-deref on disconnect" added to usb-linus

[<gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

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

    USB: legousbtower: fix potential NULL-deref on disconnect

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: legousbtower: fix potential NULL-deref on disconnect

The driver is using its struct usb_device pointer as an inverted
disconnected flag, but was setting it to NULL before making sure all
completion handlers had run. This could lead to a NULL-pointer
dereference in a number of dev_dbg and dev_err statements in the
completion handlers which relies on said pointer.

Fix this by unconditionally stopping all I/O and preventing
resubmissions by poisoning the interrupt URBs at disconnect and using a
dedicated disconnected flag.

This also makes sure that all I/O has completed by the time the
disconnect callback returns.

Fixes: fef526cae700 ("USB: legousbtower: remove custom debug macro")
Fixes: 4dae99638097 ("USB: legotower: remove custom debug macro and module parameter")
