This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled usbip: fix usbip bind writing random string after command in 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. >From 544c4605acc5ae4afe7dd5914147947db182f2fb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Juan Zea <juan.zea@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 15 Dec 2017 10:21:20 +0100 Subject: usbip: fix usbip bind writing random string after command in match_busid usbip bind writes commands followed by random string when writing to match_busid attribute in sysfs, caused by using full variable size instead of string length.
