[PATCH] USB: core: Fix unlocked hcd->status_urb access in usb_hcd_poll_rh_status()
From: Ginger Li
Date: Wed Sep 23 2026 - 04:46:58 EST
usb_hcd_poll_rh_status() tests hcd->status_urb without holding
hcd_root_hub_lock, while rh_queue_status() and the completion path inside
usb_hcd_poll_rh_status() itself update that field under the lock.
Take hcd_root_hub_lock around the early bail-out check so that the read is
serialized with the writers.
Fixes: d5926ae7a827 ("[PATCH] usbcore support for root-hub IRQ instead of polling")
