This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
USB: hub: fix SS hub-descriptor handling
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: hub: fix SS hub-descriptor handling
A SuperSpeed hub descriptor does not have any variable-length fields so
bail out when reading a short descriptor.
This avoids parsing and leaking two bytes of uninitialised slab data
through sysfs removable-attributes.
