This patch check if pointer exist before it is used. This patch should be backported to kernels as old as 2.6.35, that contain the commit e9df17eb1408cfafa3d1844bfc7f22c7237b31b8 "USB: xhci: Correct assumptions about number of rings per endpoint" Signed-off-by: Oleksij Rempel Signed-off-by: Sarah Sharp Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org --- drivers/usb/host/xhci-ring.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/usb/host/xhci-ring.c b/drivers/usb/host/xhci-ring.c index 1e57eaf..5b08cd8 100644 --- a/drivers/usb/host/xhci-ring.c +++ b/drivers/usb/host/xhci-ring.c @@ -434,7 +434,7 @@ static void ring_doorbell_for_active_rings(struct xhci_hcd *xhci, /* A ring has pending URBs if its TD list is not empty */ if (!(ep->ep_state & EP_HAS_STREAMS)) { - if (!(list_empty(&ep->ring->td_list))) + if (ep->ring && !(list_empty(&ep->ring->td_list))) xhci_ring_ep_doorbell(xhci, slot_id, ep_index, 0); return; } -- 2.7.4
