xhci: Fix memory leak in ring cache deallocation.
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
When an endpoint ring is freed, it is either cached in a per-device ring
cache, or simply freed if the ring cache is full.  If the ring was added
to the cache, then virt_dev->num_rings_cached is incremented.  The cache
is designed to hold up to 31 endpoint rings, in array indexes 0 to 30.
When the device is freed (when the slot was disabled),
xhci_free_virt_device() is called, it would free the cached rings in
array indexes 0 to virt_dev->num_rings_cached.

Unfortunately, the original code in xhci_free_or_cache_endpoint_ring()
would put the first entry into the ring cache in array index 1, instead of
array index 0.  This was caused by the second assignment to rings_cached:

	rings_cached = virt_dev->num_rings_cached;
	if (rings_cached < XHCI_MAX_RINGS_CACHED) {
		virt_dev->num_rings_cached++;
		rings_cached = virt_dev->num_rings_cached;
		virt_dev->ring_cache[rings_cached] =
			virt_dev->eps[ep_index].ring;

This meant that when the device was freed, cached rings with indexes 0 to
N would be freed, and the last cached ring in index N+1 would not be
freed.  When the driver was unloaded, this caused interesting messages
like:

xhci_hcd 0000:06:00.0: dma_pool_destroy xHCI ring segments, ffff880063040000 busy

This should be queued to stable kernels back to 2.6.33.
