Uttkarsh Aggarwal observed a kernel panic during sideband un-register
and found it was caused by a race condition between sideband unregister,
and creating sideband interrupters.
The issue occurrs when thread T1 runs uaudio_disconnect() and released
sb->xhci via sideband_unregister, while thread T2 simultaneously accessed
the now-NULL sb->xhci in xhci_sideband_create_interrupter() resulting in
a crash.
Ensure new endpoints or interrupter can't be added to a sidenband after
xhci_sideband_unregister() cleared the existing ones, and unlocked the
sideband mutex.
Reorganize code so that mutex is only taken and released once in
xhci_sideband_unregister(), and clear sb->vdev while mutex is taken.
Use mutex guards to reduce human unlock errors in code
Refuse to add endpoints or interrupter if sb->vdev is not set.
sb->vdev is set when sideband is created and registered.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
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.
