This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled usb: gadget: udc: Avoid tasklet passing a global to the 5.4-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: usb-gadget-udc-avoid-tasklet-passing-a-global.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.4 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit bca1129972a7d29a1fc1e3c50e39ff0999e2f249 Author: Kees Cook <keescook@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon Jul 13 15:01:33 2020 -0700 usb: gadget: udc: Avoid tasklet passing a global [ Upstream commit f9dc3713df1229aa8168169e9cf1010fbac68de5 ] There's no reason for the tasklet callback to set an argument since it always uses a global. Instead, use the global directly, in preparation for converting the tasklet subsystem to modern callback conventions.
