void usb_serial_generic_read_bulk_callback(struct urb *urb)

385         for (i = 0; i < ARRAY_SIZE(port->read_urbs); ++i) {
386                 if (urb == port->read_urbs[i])
387                         break;
388         }

In here, after this for loop is done (without any matching urb), i value
will be equal to ARRAY_SIZE(port->read_urbs). So there is a possibility
of usb_serial_generic_submit_read_urb() getting called with this invalid
index.
