This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
usb: gadget: function: u_ether: don't starve tx request queue
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.

If we don't guarantee that we will always get an
interrupt at least when we're queueing our very last
request, we could fall into situation where we queue
every request with 'no_interrupt' set. This will
cause the link to get stuck.
The behavior above has been triggered with g_ether
and dwc3.
