This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
USB: dummy-hcd: fix infinite-loop resubmission bug
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: dummy-hcd: fix infinite-loop resubmission bug
The dummy-hcd HCD/UDC emulator tries not to do too much work during
each timer interrupt. But it doesn't try very hard; currently all
it does is limit the total amount of bulk data transferred. Other
transfer types aren't limited, and URBs that transfer no data (because
of an error, perhaps) don't count toward the limit, even though on a
real USB bus they would consume at least a minimum overhead.
This means it's possible to get the driver stuck in an infinite loop,
for example, if the host class driver resubmits an URB every time it
completes (which is common for interrupt URBs). Each time the URB is
resubmitted it gets added to the end of the pending-URBs list, and
dummy-hcd doesn't stop until that list is empty. Andrey Konovalov was
able to trigger this failure mode using the syzkaller fuzzer.
This patch fixes the infinite-loop problem by restricting the URBs
handled during each timer interrupt to those that were already on the
pending list when the interrupt routine started. Newly added URBs
won't be processed until the next timer interrupt. The problem of
properly accounting for non-bulk bandwidth (as well as packet and
transaction overhead) is not addressed here.
