| |
3.6.11.9-rc1 stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Oleksij Rempel <linux@rempel-privat.de>
[ Upstream commit d66eaf9f89502971fddcb0de550b01fa6f409d83 ]
in some cases where device is attched to xhci port and do not responding, for example ath9k_htc with stalled firmware, kernel will crash on ring_doorbell_for_active_rings. 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"
