Subject: [PATCH 3.4 33/91] usb: hub: take hub->hdev reference when processing from eventlist

From: Joe Lawrence <joe.lawrence@...atus.com>

3.4.105-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------


commit c605f3cdff53a743f6d875b76956b239deca1272 upstream.

During surprise device hotplug removal tests, it was observed that
hub_events may try to call usb_lock_device on a device that has already
been freed. Protect the usb_device by taking out a reference (under the
hub_event_lock) when hub_events pulls it off the list, returning the
reference after hub_events is finished using it.

Suggested-by: David Bulkow <david.bulkow@...atus.com> for using kref
Suggested-by: Alan Stern <stern@...land.harvard.edu> for placement
