This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled USB: serial: kobil_sct: fix NULL-deref in write 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 21ce57840243c7b70fbc1ebd3dceeb70bb6e9e09 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johan Hovold <johan@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 3 Jan 2017 16:39:49 +0100 Subject: USB: serial: kobil_sct: fix NULL-deref in write Fix NULL-pointer dereference in write() should the device lack the expected interrupt-out endpoint: Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000054 ...
