This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
xhci: Fix USB3 NULL pointer dereference at logical disconnect.
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.

Hub driver will try to disable a USB3 device twice at logical disconnect, racing with xhci_free_dev() callback from the first port disable.
This can be triggered with "udisksctl power-off --block-device <disk>" or by writing "1" to the "remove" sysfs file for a USB3 device in 4.17-rc4.
USB3 devices don't have a similar disabled link state as USB2 devices, and use a U3 suspended link state instead. In this state the port is still enabled and connected.
hub_port_connect() first disconnects the device, then later it notices that device is still enabled (due to U3 states) it will try to disable the port again (set to U3).
The xhci_free_dev() called during device disable is async, so checking for existing xhci->devs[i] when setting link state to U3 the second time was successful, even if device was being freed.
The regression was caused by, and whole thing revealed by, Commit 44a182b9d177 ("xhci: Fix use-after-free in xhci_free_virt_device") which sets xhci->devs[i]->udev to NULL before xhci_virt_dev() returned. and causes a NULL pointer dereference the second time we try to set U3.
Fix this by checking xhci->devs[i]->udev exists before setting link state.
The original patch went to stable so this fix needs to be applied there as well.
