commit3c6f8cb92cupstream. On platforms with IOMMU enabled, multiple SGs can be coalesced into one by the IOMMU driver. In that case the SG list processing as part of the completion of a urb on a bulk endpoint can result into a NULL pointer dereference with the below stack dump. <6> Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000c <6> pgd = c0004000 <6> [0000000c] *pgd=00000000 <6> Internal error: Oops: 5 [#1] PREEMPT SMP ARM <2> PC is at xhci_queue_bulk_tx+0x454/0x80c <2> LR is at xhci_queue_bulk_tx+0x44c/0x80c <2> pc : [<c08907c4>] lr : [<c08907bc>] psr: 000000d3 <2> sp : ca337c80 ip : 00000000 fp : ffffffff <2> r10: 00000000 r9 : 50037000 r8 : 00004000 <2> r7 : 00000000 r6 : 00004000 r5 : 00000000 r4 : 00000000 <2> r3 : 00000000 r2 : 00000082 r1 : c2c1a200 r0 : 00000000 <2> Flags: nzcv IRQs off FIQs off Mode SVC_32 ISA ARM Segment none <2> Control: 10c0383d Table: b412c06a DAC: 00000051 <6> Process usb-storage (pid: 5961, stack limit = 0xca336210) <snip> <2> [<c08907c4>] (xhci_queue_bulk_tx) <2> [<c0881b3c>] (xhci_urb_enqueue) <2> [<c0831068>] (usb_hcd_submit_urb) <2> [<c08350b4>] (usb_sg_wait) <2> [<c089f384>] (usb_stor_bulk_transfer_sglist) <2> [<c089f2c0>] (usb_stor_bulk_srb) <2> [<c089fe38>] (usb_stor_Bulk_transport) <2> [<c089f468>] (usb_stor_invoke_transport) <2> [<c08a11b4>] (usb_stor_control_thread) <2> [<c014a534>] (kthread) The above NULL pointer dereference is the result of block_len and the sent_len set to zero after the first SG of the list when IOMMU driver is enabled. Because of this the loop of processing the SGs has run more than num_sgs which resulted in a sg_next on the last SG of the list which has SG_END set. Fix this by check for the sg before any attributes of the sg are accessed.

To understand all the Linux-USB framework, you'll use these resources:
* This source code. This is necessarily an evolving work, and
includes kerneldoc that should help you get a current overview.
("make pdfdocs", and then look at "usb.pdf" for host side and
"gadget.pdf" for peripheral side.) Also, Documentation/usb has
more information.
* The USB 2.0 specification (from www.usb.org), with supplements
such as those for USB OTG and the various device classes.
The USB specification has a good overview chapter, and USB
peripherals conform to the widely known "Chapter 9".
* Chip specifications for USB controllers. Examples include
host controllers (on PCs, servers, and more); peripheral
controllers (in devices with Linux firmware, like printers or
cell phones); and hard-wired peripherals like Ethernet adapters.
* Specifications for other protocols implemented by USB peripheral
functions. Some are vendor-specific; others are vendor-neutral
but just standardized outside of the www.usb.org team.
Here is a list of what each subdirectory here is, and what is contained in
them.
core/ - This is for the core USB host code, including the
usbfs files and the hub class driver ("hub_wq").
host/ - This is for USB host controller drivers. This
includes UHCI, OHCI, EHCI, and others that might
be used with more specialized "embedded" systems.
gadget/ - This is for USB peripheral controller drivers and
the various gadget drivers which talk to them.
Individual USB driver directories. A new driver should be added to the
first subdirectory in the list below that it fits into.
image/ - This is for still image drivers, like scanners or
digital cameras.
../input/ - This is for any driver that uses the input subsystem,
like keyboard, mice, touchscreens, tablets, etc.
../media/ - This is for multimedia drivers, like video cameras,
radios, and any other drivers that talk to the v4l
subsystem.
../net/ - This is for network drivers.
serial/ - This is for USB to serial drivers.
storage/ - This is for USB mass-storage drivers.
class/ - This is for all USB device drivers that do not fit
into any of the above categories, and work for a range
of USB Class specified devices.
misc/ - This is for all USB device drivers that do not fit
into any of the above categories.
