The underlying cause is in snd_usb_endpoint_stop(), which sets ep->data_subs = NULL; ep->sync_slave = NULL; ep->retire_data_urb = NULL; ep->prepare_data_urb = NULL; An improvement, suggested by Andreas Pape (ADIT) is to read parameters into local variables. This should solve race between stop and retire where it is legal to store the pointers to local variable as they are not freed in stop path but just set to NULL. However, additional races may still happen in close+hw_free against retire, as there pointers may be freed in addition. For example, while in retire_capture_urb() runtime->dma_area might be freed/nulled.
