This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled USB: mos7840: fix use-after-free in TIOCMIWAIT to my usb git tree which can be found at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/usb.git in the usb-linus branch. The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree (usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.) The patch will hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the next -rc kernel release. If you have any questions about this process, please let me know. >From a14430db686b8e459e1cf070a6ecf391515c9ab9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johan Hovold <jhovold@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 19 Mar 2013 09:21:20 +0100 Subject: USB: mos7840: fix use-after-free in TIOCMIWAIT Use the port wait queue and make sure to check the serial disconnected flag before accessing private port data after waking up. This is is needed as the private port data (including the wait queue itself) can be gone when waking up after a disconnect.
