It's possible that usb_choose_configuration() can get called when a
USB device has no driver. In this case the recent commit a87b8e3be926
("usb: core: Allow subclassed USB drivers to override
usb_choose_configuration()") can cause a crash since it dereferenced
the driver structure without checking for NULL. Let's add a check.
A USB device with no driver is an anomaly, so make
usb_choose_configuration() return immediately if there is no driver.
This was seen in the real world when usbguard got ahold of a r8152
device at the wrong time. It can also be simulated via this on a
computer with one r8152-based USB Ethernet adapter:
cd /sys/bus/usb/drivers/r8152-cfgselector
to_unbind="$(ls -d *-*)"
real_dir="$(readlink -f "${to_unbind}")"
echo "${to_unbind}" > unbind
cd "${real_dir}"
echo 0 > authorized
echo 1 > authorized

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 Restructured Text 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.
