Alexander Kappner dde634057d xhci: Fix use-after-free in xhci debugfs
Trying to read from debugfs after the system has resumed from
hibernate causes a use-after-free and thus a protection fault.

Steps to reproduce:
Hibernate system, resume from hibernate, then run
$ cat /sys/kernel/debug/usb/xhci/*/command-ring/enqueue

[ 3902.765086] general protection fault: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP
...
[ 3902.765136] RIP: 0010:xhci_trb_virt_to_dma.part.50+0x5/0x30
...
[ 3902.765178] Call Trace:

[ 3902.765251]  entry_SYSCALL64_slow_path+0x25/0x25

The issue is caused by the xhci ring structures being reallocated
when the system is resumed, but pointers to the old structures
being retained in the debugfs files "private" field:

The proposed patch fixes this issue by storing a pointer to the xhci_ring
field in the xhci device structure in debugfs rather than directly
storing a pointer to the xhci_ring.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
