handle_cmd_completion() frees a command structure which might be still referenced by xhci->current_cmd. This might cause problem when xhci->current_cmd is accessed after that. A real-life case could be like this. The host takes a very long time to respond to a command, and the command timer is fired at the same time when the command completion event arrives. The command completion handler frees xhci->current_cmd before the timer function can grab xhci->lock. Afterward, timer function grabs the lock and go ahead with checking and setting members of xhci->current_cmd.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
