This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
xhci: Handle command completion and timeout race
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: xhci: Handle command completion and timeout race
If we get a command completion event at the same time as the command
timeout work starts on another cpu we might end up aborting the wrong
command.
If the command completion takes the xhci lock before the timeout work, it
will handle the command, pick the next command, mark it as current_cmd, and
re-queue the timeout work. When the timeout work finally gets the lock
It will start aborting the wrong command.
This case can be resolved by checking if the timeout work is pending inside
the timeout function itself. A new timeout work can only be pending if the
command completed and a new command was queued.
If there are no more commands pending then command completion will set
the current_cmd to NULL, which is already handled in the timeout work.
