In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: xhci: Fix sleep in atomic context in xhci free streams()
When a USB device with active stream endpoints is disconnected, xhci free streams() is called from the hub event workqueue to free the stream resources. It calls xhci free stream info() while holding xhci->lock with irqs disabled.
xhci free stream info() invokes xhci free stream ctx(), which calls dma free coherent() for large stream context arrays.
dma free coherent() can sleep (e.g. via vunmap), triggering a BUG when called from atomic context.

Fix this by saving the stream info pointers and clearing the ep references under the lock, then calling xhci free stream info() outside the lock where sleeping is allowed.
