Applying dynamic usbcore quirks in early booting when the slab is not yet ready would cause kernel panic of null pointer dereference because the quirk_count has been counted as 1 while the quirk_list was failed to allocate. i.e., [ 1.044970] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null) [ 1.044995] IP: [<ffffffffb0953ec7>] usb_detect_quirks+0x88/0xd1 [ 1.045016] PGD 0 [ 1.045026] Oops: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP [ 1.046986] gsmi: Log Shutdown Reason 0x03 [ 1.046995] Modules linked in: [ 1.047008] CPU: 0 PID: 81 Comm: kworker/0:3 Not tainted 4.4.154 #28 [ 1.047016] Hardware name: Google Coral/Coral, BIOS Google_Coral.10068.27.0 12/04/2017 [ 1.047028] Workqueue: usb_hub_wq hub_event [ 1.047037] task: ffff88017a321c80 task.stack: ffff88017a384000 [ 1.047044] RIP: 0010:[<ffffffffb0953ec7>] [<ffffffffb0953ec7>] usb_detect_quirks+0x88/0xd1 To tackle this odd, let's balance the quirk_count to 0 when the kcalloc call fails, and defer the quirk setting into a lower level callback which ensures that the kernel memory management has been initialized.
