This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
USB: hub: change the locking in hub_activate
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: USB: hub: change the locking in hub_activate
The locking in hub_activate() is not adequate to provide full mutual
exclusion with hub_quiesce(). The subroutine locks the hub's
usb_interface, but the callers of hub_quiesce() (such as
hub_pre_reset() and hub_event()) hold the lock to the hub's
usb_device.
This patch changes hub_activate() to make it acquire the same lock as
those other routines.
