Subject: [PATCH 4.14 024/178] xhci: Dont add a virt_dev to the devs array before its fully allocated

4.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Mathias Nyman <mathias.nyman@...ux.intel.com>

commit 5d9b70f7d52eb14bb37861c663bae44de9521c35 upstream.

Avoid null pointer dereference if some function is walking through the
devs array accessing members of a new virt_dev that is mid allocation.

Add the virt_dev to xhci->devs[i] _after_ the virt_device and all its
members are properly allocated.

issue found by KASAN: null-ptr-deref in xhci_find_slot_id_by_port

"Quick analysis suggests that xhci_alloc_virt_device() is not mutex
protected. If so, there is a time frame where xhci->devs[slot_id] is set
but not fully initialized. Specifically, xhci->devs[i]->udev can be NULL."
