Some gadget drivers may attempt to dequeue requests for an endpoint
that has already been disabled. For example, in the UVC gadget driver,
uvc_function_set_alt() will call usb_ep_disable() when alt setting 0
is selected. When the userspace application subsequently issues the
VIDIOC_STREAMOFF ioctl, uvc_video_enable() invokes usb_ep_dequeue() to
ensure that all requests have been cancelled.

bug is on uvc gadget, then. Laurent ?
We've discussed this topic a couple of months before. I believe that's not a
bug.

Also, fsl should be removed from the tree, I'm trying to persuade iMX
folks to use drivers/usb/chipidea instead.
Besides the iMX usage, the driver is also being used by many Freescale
PowerPC/Coldfire SoCs.  I agree that it's ideal to move to a common driver.
But it is a large task to make the chipidea driver works for all the
hardware that fsl_udc had supported and been tested on.

For the Freescale High Speed Dual-Role USB controller,
fsl_ep_dequeue() provides the implementation of usb_ep_dequeue(). If
this is called for a disabled endpoint, a kernel oops will occur when
the ep->ep.desc field is dereferenced (by ep_index()).
quoted
fsl_ep_disable() sets this field to NULL, as well as deleting all
pending requests for the endpoint.

This patch adds an additional check to fsl_ep_dequeue() to ensure that
the endpoint has not already been disabled before attempting to dequeue
requests.

Shouldn't that last check be done with a lock taken ?
I had presumed a lock wasn't necessary because ep->ep.desc is only set to NULL by fsl_ep_disable() which, since it is called by usb_ep_disable(), should only be invoked when no other task is using the endpoint (according to include/linux/usb/gadget.h). Furthermore, the chipidea UDC driver does check the equivalent of this field is not NULL without taking a lock (ep_dequeue() in drivers/usb/chipidea/udc.c).

However, it is possible that I'm misunderstanding something here, so apologies if I am.
