This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
USB: fix linked-list corruption in rh_call_control()
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: fix linked-list corruption in rh_call_control()
Using KASAN, Dmitry found a bug in the rh_call_control() routine: If
buffer allocation fails, the routine returns immediately without
unlinking its URB from the control endpoint, eventually leading to
linked-list corruption.
This patch fixes the problem by jumping to the end of the routine
(where the URB is unlinked) when an allocation failure occurs.
