Subject: [PATCH] p54usb: fix usb_kill_urb hang with slub_debug=P
Date: Fri, 5 Dec 2008 15:47:45 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200812051547.45790.chunkeey@web.de> (raw)

This patch fixes a problem identified by Johannes Berg.

It looks like this is a classic case of "use-after-freed". 
A module which should reproduce the problem on
any other USB device can be found right here:
