CVE-2025-37813

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

usb: xhci: Fix invalid pointer dereference in Etron workaround

This check is performed before prepare_transfer() and prepare_ring(), so

enqueue can already point at the final link TRB of a segment. And indeed

it will, some 0.4% of times this code is called.

Then enqueue + 1 is an invalid pointer. It will crash the kernel right

away or load some junk which may look like a link TRB and cause the real

link TRB to be replaced with a NOOP. This wouldn't end well.

Use a functionally equivalent test which doesn't dereference the pointer

and always gives correct result.

Something has crashed my machine twice in recent days while playing with

an Etron HC, and a control transfer stress test ran for confirmation has

just crashed it again. The same test passes with this patch applied.
