Summary

In the Linux kernel, the xhci driver may queue new commands on the command ring even when the xHC is marked inaccessible via HCD_FLAG_HW_ACCESSIBLE. This flag is set and cleared during suspend and resume.

Risk Assessment

This can lead to communication errors with the USB controller and system instability during suspend/resume operations.

Recommendation

Update the Linux kernel to a version with the fix that refuses to queue commands when xHC is inaccessible and warns when suspending with pending commands.
