This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled usb: misc: legousbtower: Fix buffers on stack 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-testing 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 be merged to the usb-next branch sometime soon, after it passes testing, and the merge window is open. If you have any questions about this process, please let me know. >From 942a48730faf149ccbf3e12ac718aee120bb3529 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Maksim Salau <maksim.salau@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 25 Apr 2017 22:49:21 +0300 Subject: usb: misc: legousbtower: Fix buffers on stack Allocate buffers on HEAP instead of STACK for local structures that are to be received using usb_control_msg().
