This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
usblp: do not set TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE before lock
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.

Subject: usblp: do not set TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE before lock
It is not permitted to set task state before lock. usblp_wwait sets
the state to TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE and calls mutex_lock_interruptible.
Upon return from that function, the state will be TASK_RUNNING again.
This is clearly a bug and a warning is generated with LOCKDEP too:
WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 5109 at kernel/sched/core.c:7404 __might_sleep+0x7d/0x90()
do not call blocking ops when !TASK_RUNNING; state=1 set at [<ffffffffa0c588d0>] usblp_wwait+0xa0/0x310 [usblp]

Commit 7f477358e2384c54b190cc3b6ce28277050a041b (usblp: Implement the
ENOSPC convention) moved the set prior locking. So move it back after
the lock.
