Sorry, didn't notice your reply in the first version.

It looks like running out of memory, since it was running a stress test. 
But can't go any further without more details. Didn't run with kmemleak 
open.

Can't reproduce the problem for a very long time. Still don't know where 
did it fail in xhci_mem_init. But I think you can't blame xhci driver 
for memory shortage, and you can't fix that.

You were saying "If xhci_mem_init() failed then...it shouldn't be...", 
and I agree with it. Further more, I think functions that calling 
xhci_mem_init needs to check xhci_mem_init's return value, but it needs 
another patch to do this. This patch is saying that 
xhci_clear_command_ring should check a pointer before using it, because 
somewhere else might clear cmd_ring, that's all.
