Alright, I gathered all current work related to xhci races and timeouts
and put them into a branch:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mnyman/xhci.git
timeout_race_fixes

Its based on 4.9
It includes a few other patches just to avoid conflicts and make my life
easier

Interesting patches are:

ee4eb91 xhci: remove unnecessary check for pending timer
0cba67d xhci: detect stop endpoint race using pending timer instead of
counter.
4f2535f xhci: Handle command completion and timeout race
b9d00d7 usb: host: xhci: Fix possible wild pointer when handling abort
command
529a5a0 usb: xhci: fix possible wild pointer
4766555 xhci: Fix race related to abort operation
de834a3 xhci: Use delayed_work instead of timer for command timeout
69973b8 Linux 4.9

The fixes for command queue races will go to usb-linus and stable, the
reworks for stop ep watchdog timer will go to usb-next.


How about applying below patch in your 'timeout_race_fixes' branch?
[PATCH] usb: host: xhci: Clean up commands when stop endpoint command is
timeout
https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/12/13/94


usb_hc_died() should eventyally end up calling xhci_mem_cleanup()
which will cleanup the command queue. But I need to look into that

usb_hc_died() did not call xhci_mem_cleanup() to clean up command
queue, it just disconnects all children devices attached on the dying
hub. I did not find where it will clean up the command queue when
issuing usb_hc_died(). Also before issuing usb_hc_died() in
xhci_handle_command_timeout(), we will call
xhci_cleanup_command_queue(). I think it should same as in
xhci_stop_endpoint_command_watchdog().


You're right, it doesn't call xhci_mem_cleanup.
Need to look at this after getting first series of fixes to usb-linus
