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-next 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 also be merged in the next major kernel release during the merge window. 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().
