Linux kernel xHCI USB transfer-event handling flaw for events lacking a TRB.
A Linux kernel USB xHCI-driver flaw in handle_tx_event() involving transfer events that lack a TRB and endpoint ring. Continuing processing when ep->skip is set can use the endpoint-ring pointer and cause a potential failure. The fix returns after checking the completion code for transfer events without TRBs.
