This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
xhci: Fix use-after-free in xhci_free_virt_device
to my usb git tree which can be found at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/usb.git in the usb-linus branch.
The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree (usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)
The patch will hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the next -rc kernel release.
If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

KASAN found a use-after-free in xhci_free_virt_device+0x33b/0x38e where xhci_free_virt_device() sets slot id to 0 if udev exists: if (dev->udev && dev->udev->slot_id) dev->udev->slot_id = 0;
dev->udev will be true even if udev is freed because dev->udev is not set to NULL.
set dev->udev pointer to NULL in xhci_free_dev()
The original patch went to stable so this fix needs to be applied there as well.
